stiletto nails
Pointed fingertip extensions
Stiletto nails are artificial fingernails filed to a sharp, dramatic point, resembling the blade of a stiletto knife.
The style requires length—usually acrylic or gel extensions—to achieve the tapered shape.
Popular in fashion and celebrity culture, they sacrifice practicality for bold visual impact: She couldn't text properly with those stiletto nails.
