Do you want to learn how to have your nails in Stiletto style? Here’s what we show you.
How to make stiletto nails?
To do the stiletto nail manicure it is important that you are quite long. The more the merrier. We refer to an approximate length of 1 cm. Once this measure is reached with a file, the sides should be reduced and the nails are given a pointed shape.
The stiletto nail style can be done on natural or false nails. If you lean towards the false ones they will last longer.
Steps to perform stiletto nails
First step:
Clean your clothes with soap and water. Then remove the polish that your nails may have.
Second step:
Dip your hands in warm water and apply some cuticle remover over the base of the nail. Wait approximately 5 minutes in each hand.
Third step:
Dry your hands and with a wooden stick remove the cuticle. Don’t cut it.
Fourth step:
If your nails have the desired length you can start filing them on both sides. Remember that the figure should be as close as possible to the tip of an isosceles triangle. In the event that you are going to use false nails, we recommend filing them before placing them. But, if they are gel or acrylic, you can file them once you have placed the material on your nails.
Fifth step:
Once you get the desired shape it will be time to paint them with the enamel you prefer.
