Spanish nail experts tout oval shapes and semipermanent designs for summer

Spanish nail stylists say the oval nail silhouette is the most flattering choice for summer, smoothing short fingers and broad hands while offering a timeless, minimalist look. They note that the shape “softens visual length of short digits or very thick hands” and pairs well with simple micro‑French lines, delicate florals, subtle gradients and other low‑key patterns.

The same experts highlight the growing popularity of semipermanent manicures, which combine gel durability with traditional polish aesthetics. According to salon specialists, a semipermanent treatment can last up to four weeks, strengthen the nail plate and reduce the need for frequent salon visits. The process involves UV/LED curing of a hybrid base, color layers and a top coat, followed by a final cleaning step to ensure a smooth finish suitable for beach‑ready summer wear.
