According to a web poll on glamour.com, 57% of your clients are wearing “squoval” nails (that's the one second from the left in the above photo). That’s followed by 16% wearing square, 7% wearing round, 6% wearing oval, and the remaining 13% claiming that they’ve never thought about nail shape before.

Glamour Magazine has a section called “Girls in the Beauty Dept.,” and they blog regularly about all things beauty-related. A quick click on the “nails” tag brings up a bunch of nail-related posts.
