Short Wide Nails


Watch out for these short wide nails, where they may be a temper which can flare up very quickly indeed. This person may also love to take an opposing point of view for the hell of it, and may be extremely critical of both themselves and of you.

Long Narrow Nails


These long narrow nails are the most beautiful of all. They can reveal a very intuitive nature, but also one which can be selfish, lacking in energy, insecure or even a little neurotic

Just as the shape of the fingers reveal clues about the personality, so too, do the fingernails.  Nail shapes can vary quite considerably but nevertheless can be categorised into basic shapes.


Square nails that are as broad as they are long reveal an honest, capable person who is responsible, balanced and patient.  Such a person will come across as being someone who can be relied on.  A patient would have natural confidence in the doctor whose nails are square and broad.


Short nails in a similar manner to short fingers, reveal a tendency towards impatience and quick thinking. However, the shorter the nail, the more critical the nature.  In fairness, a person with such a short nail will be just as critical of himself as he is of others. This short nail, because of it's association with impatience, also reveals quite a temper that can flare up at a moments notice. Luckily though, this temper will be just as quick to die down.  But when the short nail is also very wide, the nature becomes very argumentative and pugnacious.  Whatever view someone takes, this person is likely to take the opposite, regardless of whether he believes his opinion is correct or not.  He likes to argue for the sake of it and will do so on every possible occasion.


Long nails that are also wide will have the same interpretation as the square nail, but when long nails are also narrow, the character will be prone to selfishness and narrow-mindedness. Regardless of whether the nail is long or short, this narrow-minded attitude will result in a cynical, cold character who tends to consider himself first and others later, if at all. When the narrow nail is very long, the person will be intuitive and impractical but possibly also self centred.  I has always been considered that these nails are the most beautiful of all the nail shapes, but unfortunately tend to reveal a person who can be particularly selfish and even a little neurotic.


Very small, square nails that are neither long, nor wide, that appear to be dwarfed by the finger reveal a person who can be tight fisted, mean, and stingy. Such a person is likely to be narrow minded, critical and cold.

Almond shaped nails tend to reveal people who are sensitive, gentle and kind, with a strong creative streak.

Fan shaped nails, with a narrow base which widen out towards the top of the finger like a fan, indicate highly strung and nervous people.

    :coolI noticed my neighbors short, little critical nails the other night. He talked to me about how his wife thinks he is too confrontational with people, and how he cannot make friends with some of the other neighbors. Every 15 minutes he would make a negative comment about someone. He even told me how he was kinda "ticked off" at another neighbor friend for talking to him about the life insurance he sells. A nice confirmation of an older principle. I think I will keep my distance.

    Hi Den,

    I think your anecdote presents a confirmation for what Sue describes regarding: Short Wide Nails.

    :coolThanks buddy. That was the first instance where I actually could confirm that principle. His nails literally looked like the illustration from Benham's book.

    I will add this, I left town for a week for business and didn't mow my grass...he confidently told me my yard was the scourge of the neighborhood. Nice friend huh? Anyway, take it easy.

    Den

    Martijn Thanks for the medscape article :thumbup

    Den, interesting observation. I've seen guys with short wide nails pick a fight for no reason (maybe someone looked at them the wrong way or something like that).

    Hi there,

    In my past observations I would agree on the short nail theory, but also what has not been mentioned is that often these people actually chew their nails.. This is a sign of a sensitive, highly strung and nervous person. In times of worry, fear and nerves (such as exams, interviews etc) the person would begin to chew their own nail, causing it to become very short. So not always critical or bad tempered.
