Nora Whitfield — Guest Nail Stylist
Nora Whitfield is a guest nail stylist writing for Ubeauty about shape, colour and seasonal trends. She matches press-on shapes to nail bed proportions, and photographs every set in daylight so the colour you see is the colour that arrives.
What Nora covers
Shape selection and styling — almond versus coffin, short square on a wide nail bed, which chrome finish photographs well and which one looks flat. She also handles the seasonal edits: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's and wedding season.
How she shoots
- Natural daylight only, no colour filters — press-on photography is notorious for shifting nude shades warmer than they are.
- Every style is shown on two skin tones and two nail lengths so you can judge the proportion, not just the design.
- Swatch comparisons are shot side by side rather than described in words.
