CASE STUDY: Eva Mendes. A magazine I read years ago once quoted Eva saying she had the hands of a 14 year old boy.
Regardless of what she thought of her own hands, (or if this quote was even true) her overall appearance and presence with the use of strategic feminine implementations created an entire feminine aura . And she is quite easily perceived as super feminine.

Let’s begin implementing the strategies.
The Use Of Jewelry
Rings and bracelets can create a more feminine appearance if proper ones are chosen to compliment your hand shape and fingers. The best way to find the most flattering pieces is always to try on and try on!
Look in the mirror when trying on jewelry. Does your hand look prettier? More feminine? Get to know the pieces that flatter you most.
It is simple to pull off different metals, you should take into consideration your skin tone, overall look, and outfit when investing into a silver/white gold, gold or rose gold jewelry and what precious metals flatter you most.
The tones in the metal can really compliment the tones of the skin beautifully further enhancing a glow of the skin .
The design and materials of the jewelry can always create a more feminine look. For example, a watch with leather straps is beautiful. To make it more feminine, select one with a light colored leather strap. Or select a watch made of gold or rose gold for a feminine shine or one with some sparkle.
Always experiment, and as I always make note of, everything here is simply a suggestion, you create the desired effect with what you feel looks best on you.
Rings
A woman who worked for Chanel once told me to keep no more than one ring on each hand to adhere to their guidelines, and keep it simple and classy. I am not too certain if this remains their guidelines to date, but it seems like a plausible idea.
- Chunky rings or thicker bands for thicker fingers will beautifully flatter thicker fingers. Stacking thin rings is also a nice idea.
- Delicate rings for delicate hands and fingers can amplify that delicate feminine look and flatter the slim fingers beautifully without being overpowering.
- Pinky fingers or ring fingers are generally the smallest on the hand and look equally more delicate with a ring on them, regardless of finger thickness.
Further down in the article I discuss a few more tricks with rings in the sections, “How To Make Fingers Look Longer” & “How To Make Fingers Look Skinnier.“
Bracelets
Bracelets near wrist can make a hand look bigger. Sometimes an arm cuff, or a bracelet slightly up the forearm can create a more feminine and delicate look.
Do you find a thicker or more delicate dainty watch more flattering on your wrist? Watches are sometimes seen as less feminine, but when combined with a feminine color or design, it can easily be feminizing.
These are all merely suggestions, there are no rules. Always dress in a manner that makes you feel best, and in this case, feminine {Since you are researching it ;)}.
Strategic Nail Shape & Color
Some Basic Tips:
- Do try to grow your nails
- Using a nail whitening nail polish creates a brighter looking nail
- Avoid biting them of course! And keep nails clean! Especially underneath!
In How To Make Short Nails Look Feminine: Prettier & Polished, I give several tips on making short nails look more feminine. My most favorite tip from that articles is
- Add a tiny crystal (or a few depending on what looks best on your hand) on one nail for an elegant, dainty and feminine sparkle.
The prettiest colors on nails are the ones that flatter your skin tone and create a classy look.
Even without nail polish we can create a healthy looking nail by using a nail buffer-smoothing out ridges and creating fresh looking nails.
An oval shaped nail or partially rounded one is generally one that helps to create a more feminine looking hand.
Natural looking nail polish keeps the look minimal and classy. Even a clear coat on top of well cared for nails can do wonders.
A nail polish that is neutral and somewhat close to the skin tone can actually lengthen fingers, similarly to the concept of wearing a monochromatic outfit when a woman tries to create an appearance of greater height.
Special Tip!
A nail whitener can make a remarkable difference in the beauty, elegance, and put-togetherness of our hands and nails.
The whitener I use is from overseas. Below is a similar one I previously used. Always check reviews prior to purchasing anything! I am a part of the Amazon Affiliate Program and do make a baby commission for any purchase. Thank You in advance!

Well cared for and well softened hands are most definitely perceived as more feminine.
To make your hands prettier, it is important to maintain a lovely skin care regime for your hands by simply keeping them well moisturized, looking cared for, glowing, and by implementing the strategies throughout this article.
Keep hands soft with cream. Always keep a good cream in your purse to retain moisture throughout the day. For cuticles and extra dry areas, I love using a salve.
No biting of the nails or skin as we mentioned before!
If your on the fair side, self tanner, or getting a glow in general will even out the skin and can help camouflage some “flaws” or veins we may want to soften the look of.
Using a shimmer on our hands is a tip if you’re feeling a bit extra. Add some to your décolletage as well for an extra feminine touch.
Another little “feeling extra” tip is using a scented lotion for a more feminine effect. Scent definitely can make us feel more feminine, even act a bit more feminine thus creating a more feminine appearance overall. Every time you make gestures with your hands, your pretty perfume will be released into the air.
I love using a face cream on my hands, or a firming cream. Some people insist on using SPF to protect the hands from future age spots.
Quick Recap:
- Use Firming Cream On Hands
- Self Tanner To Camouflage “Flaws”
- Shimmering And/Or Pretty Scented Lotion
How To Make Fingers Look Longer
Longer fingers, or the appearance of longer fingers rather, can be achieved with use of color, creating the proper nail shape, jewelry and strategies that make also the fingers look slimmer.
Rings
I’ve noticed certain rings really flatter and can create certain illusions when looking at women’s engagement rings. These are simply observation I have made and this suggestion is not limited to engagement rings alone. It can be a ring on any finger.
Rings with a thin or medium band that have a pear or oval shaped stone or diamond attract the eyes in a vertical direction and can create the look of a longer finger. It can also create a slimmer looking finger.
Nude Nail Polish
Nude polish will elongate the finger. Or perhaps a color similar but slightly lighter than the skin tone.
Shimmery colors can work beautifully as do french tips if you have your nails grown.
Oval or Rounded Shape
Avoid or be cautious with square nails if trying to elongate the hand. Square nails with slightly rounded corners can be experimented with.
A natural, oval looking shape will create the look longer fingers. Especially when combined with a nude, slightly lighter than the skin tone color.
How To Make Fingers Look Skinnier
To flatter thicker fingers and give them a slimmer shape, implement the above strategies to give them an appearance of more length thus creating a slimmer look. Also, pay attention to details when selecting rings to wear-the band width and the gem or diamond shape.
- Rings with a thicker or medium band with the oval or pear shaped diamond or gemstone.
- A rectangular gem or diamond where the longer side of the rectangle are horizontal can compliment and flatter the width of the finger. But one with the longer sides being vertical will lengthen the finger creating a slimmer look.
- Rings with larger gems compliment thicker fingers where as rings with tiny diamonds amplify the delicate look of already slender fingers.
- When we have a tan, whether from the sun or faux tanning, it can help to make the overall hand look a touch slimmer.

To make your hands look dainty, feminine and delicate mannerisms should be incorporated in your behaviors which will result in a more soft looking approach to things.

When you reach for something, pick it up gently. Try to avoid harsh or abrupt movements.
