Which of the following is not a basic nail shape?

  1. Pointed

  2. Triangle

  3. Squoval

  4. Oval

The correct answer is: Triangle

Pointed, Squoval, and Oval are all basic nail shapes and are commonly used in manicures. However, Triangle is not a basic nail shape. Triangle-shaped nails are often considered to be extreme or unconventional and are not commonly seen in everyday nail designs. So, B (Triangle) is the correct answer.
