Straight lines and visible corners can make the nail look a little more graphic.
Short oval softens the outline
The rounded free edge can make the manicure look more curved and fluid.
Similar length makes shape easier to compare
Keeping both options short lets you focus on the silhouette rather than extra free-edge length.
Corner feel can matter in daily use
Some people prefer the softened edge of oval; others like the definition of square.
Try the mold, not just the label
Two short shapes can still differ in width and curvature.
