Triangular Tips
The pointed tips of almond shaped acrylic nails pair nicely with a triangular paint design. An angular variation on a French manicure suits this look. For variety, switch out the design with a heart on one finger.

Single Sparkle
A solid color on each nail is a classic look for almond nails, but for a bit of playfulness, use a glitter polish in a coordinating shade on a few fingers.

Soft Ombre
A stylish ombre pattern works well with almond shaped acrylic nails. For a subtle look, create a gradient that goes from a soft pink at the base to white near the tips.

Floral Petals
Carry a bit of spring with you during any season by painting a tulip design on each finger. The negative space near the cuticles directs attention to the bright pastel colors on the tip of each nail.

Tribal Design
A bold pattern on one finger is balanced by a neutral shade of pink on the other four fingers. Combining the pink used on the other fingers with black and white polishes creates a striking look that's pleasing to the eye.

Gold Touches
White almond shaped acrylic nails provide a simple look that you can dress up with just a few hints of gold. Add a single horizontal stripe across one nail and a double stripe on another. Keep these lines thin and start them about one-quarter of the way up the nail.

Black and White
Black nails are another staple look that pairs with any outfit. Add interest to this basic design with a line stenciled on one finger. A white background for the design helps the accent finger pop.

Two-Tone
A swath of negative space across the middle of the nail is an interesting twist on the vintage moon style. Use a dark color at the tops and bottoms of your nails, and leave an arc of natural color showing through in the middle.

Geometric Patterns
A triangle-heavy design complements almond shaped acrylic nails. A neutral color scheme balances the bold patterns so that the design does not overwhelm. Just a touch of gold sparkle brightens up the look.

Monochrome Glitter
A vertical curve of glitter polish over a solid polish of the same shade allows you to tastefully mix both a bold color and sparkly polish in one look.
