Frequently Asked Questions
Are stiletto nails good for beginners?
Stiletto is one of the more advanced shapes to wear day-to-day because of its length and sharp point. First-time press-on wearers may want to start with squoval or almond before trying stiletto.

The pointed tip can be more prone to snagging than rounder shapes, so extra care during daily tasks and gentle removal helps them last through a full wear cycle.
