Stiletto nails were inspired by another long, pointy fashion accessory: stiletto heel. They’re basically nails that have been sculpted using a nail file, to a smooth, thin point.

These can commonly be referred to as pointy nails.  The following four that are trending right now are our favorites…

Chrome Stilettos:  Chrome nails are cutting edge, what with their high metallic shines, various designs, and various shades to choose from Rose Gold, Holographic Chrome, Black Gunmetal, Nude X, Heart tips, Duo Chrome, Copper Chrome, Pink Chrome, Marble Chrome, and Diamond Chrome.

Matt on Vinyl black Stilettos:  This would have the opposite appearance of Chrome.  The background is a matte black, and the pointy edges get a vinyl black shine. Generally painted in a V shape.

French Stilettos:  A new take on the French manicure. A natural, high shine pink background, with a V-shaped free edge painted in white.  Although it can be difficult to make a stiletto nail look natural, the crystal clear look is also popular.

A coat of clear polish keeps this look beautiful, fresh, and it goes with anything or is appropriate for any occasion.

Nude Stilettos:  These come in various shades such as Rose, Dune, and Scarlett.  A classic nude is amplified by a vinyl sheen, highlighting the shade.
