Okay, so, I’ve been seeing these short stiletto nails all over my Instagram feed, and I was like, “I gotta try that!” They’re basically like the regular stiletto nails, you know, the ones that are super pointy and fierce, but just a bit shorter and more practical. I mean, I love the look of long nails, but I also like to, you know, use my phone and type on my computer without stabbing myself.
First, I went to my favorite nail salon, and I showed the nail tech a picture of what I wanted. She was like, “Girl, you sure about this? It’s a bold choice.” And I was like, “Yes, ma’am, I’m ready to be bold and daring!” I mean, I consider myself pretty outgoing, and I’m not afraid to stand out from the crowd a bit.
She started by trimming my natural nails down a bit and then she applied some acrylic to build up the shape. This was the longest part, she had to sculpt each nail into that perfect stiletto point, but she made sure to keep them shorter than usual. Then came the fun part, the color! I decided to go with a classic red because it’s so sassy and goes with everything, right?
- Trimmed my natural nails.
- Applied acrylic to create the stiletto shape.
- Kept the length shorter than traditional stiletto nails.
- Painted them a fiery red.
After the color, she added a top coat to make them all shiny and durable, then dried them, after that, I got what I wanted! The whole process took about an hour and a half, but it was so worth it.
I’ve been rocking these short stiletto nails for a few days now, and I’m obsessed! They make me feel so confident and stylish. Plus, I can actually function like a normal human being. I can type, I can open doors, I can even scratch my chin without drawing blood, it’s amazing!
My Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a way to spice up your nail game without sacrificing practicality, I highly recommend giving short stiletto nails a try. They’re the perfect combination of edgy and elegant. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
