Stiletto Nails

Stiletto nails are a trendy, funky looking nail with a lot to offer. These nails are long and very pointy,
much like the high heel stiletto shoe. They are a sexy option for those who want nails that truly stand out. These nails have a very specific look to them. Though some websites and users will say coffin nails, ballerina nails, or almond nails are stilettos, they are not the same thing. For those who are looking for a statement nail, one that will make a statement, choose this style.

It's possible to style and file your nail into a point if they are long enough. However, that can take a lot of time to grow them out and to ensure that each nail has enough of an edge to file into a point. Many people, instead, purchase stiletto nail sets and apply them. Acrylic gel nails like this are very common and they tend to be pretty inexpensive. However, you will need to purchase more than one set since these nails – even when placed well and professionally will commonly fall off or break just because of their length and their point.

It's important to know that stiletto nails are more than just pointy nails. They are often very edgy in terms of the coloring, styling, and embellishments on them. They are commonly metallic, but they can also be bright red, soft pink, or anything in the middle. Adding gems or rhinestones to them is also popular. You may wish to add glitter to these nails as well. Because the base nail is an open canvas, and creates such a large amount of space from which to color, there is no limit to what you can do with the look of these nails. Most importantly, be over the top and bold with them. Less
