40 Gorgeous Stiletto Nail Designs to Obsess Over

True stiletto nails are sharp-edged, bold, and super daring!

Stiletto nails are shaped to create a pointed triangle edge, giving it a dramatic flair. Celebrities like Cardi-B and Rihanna swear by Stiletto nails because of their saucy style. The shape is so dramatic that even a simple coat of nail paint can make it pop. If you are feeling even more adventurous- you can always add rhinestones and glitter to create an epic look. 

A true stiletto nail is sharp and long. But it takes commitment and experience to handle such nails. You can always choose the comfortable nail shape or experiment with different styles. Here are a few variations for the stiletto nail style!

  • Super long and pointy stiletto nails are great for a fashion photo shoot, nail art competition, or your Instagram grid. 
  • Gel Stiletto nails look great even on naturally short nails. Your nail tech can shape the gel to match your natural nails perfectly. 
  • Acrylic Stiletto nails are a bit harder to do at home but are the traditional method for super-long nails.

Stiletto nails are fashionable but can break easily due to their super-pointed shape. If you use your hands frequently for work, consider getting almond shape nails for a sturdier design.
