beginner making stilettos

[sammyt]

Been doing nails for 4 years and i'v just started to perfect my smile lines freehand, so have began to experiment with color acrylic n glitter.

Id now like to have a go at stiletto nails, do u have to sculpt or can you use tips?

and is there anyway of been able to sit make stilettos then just stick them fully to nail??

Hi

I always sculp when i want stiletto.

dont do them with ordinary tips. by the time you have shaped them to be a stiletto they will have lost the correct c curve and will not have much strength as well as not making a very attractive nail shape.

you can buy stiletto tips.

there are drawbacks with them though. you can only do them in 1 length and they dont have a tight enough curve to keep the shape perfect.

much better to sculpt them then they are easier to customise, right shape and right length for the individua.l a tight c curve is important for the style and the strength of a true stiletto nail.
