Stiletto nail ideas
Stiletto nails taper on both sides to a sharp point. They are the most dramatic nail shape and usually need extra length, so most stiletto sets are done with gel or acrylic extensions.

Questions about stiletto nails
Are stiletto nails practical?
They take some getting used to for typing and daily tasks. A shorter stiletto, or an almond shape, gives a similar look with less risk.
Can you do stiletto nails on natural nails?
Only with strong, fairly long natural nails. Most stiletto sets use gel or acrylic extensions for length and strength.
What designs look best on stiletto nails?
Designs that follow the point work well: chrome, ombre, glitter fades and dark colors. The long, narrow surface also suits vertical lines and accents.
