Which of the following is NOT one of the five types of nail shapes?

Squoval
Round
Star-shaped
Square

The correct answer is: Star-shaped

The correct answer is star-shaped because it is not recognized as one of the traditional nail shapes commonly used in nail care practice. The five primary nail shapes typically include square, round, oval, squoval (a combination of square and oval), and almond. These shapes are defined by their unique characteristics and are popular in nail design for their aesthetic appeal and suitability to different hand shapes. In the case of star-shaped nails, they do not hold a conventional place within professional nail technician education or practice. Star-shaped nails would be considered an unconventional or whimsical design rather than a standardized shape, making them less relevant in practical applications within salons and nail care services.
