Cassandra smirked at her answer and added "Finger shape would normally coincide with the shape of the hand. However, most hands represent a mixture of finger types. This mixture helps to create a diversity of qualities and talents for a person. The shape of the fingernail is also used in trying to determine the type of finger. Pointed-shaped fingers often have almond shaped nails; cone-shaped fingers will have oval nail; square fingers have square nails; spade-shaped fingers should have square-based nails which broaden at the tip."
