Long, pointy nails have been trending for a while, but I have to admit, I'm not really sure I can embrace this look 100%.
Pointy nails–or "stiletto nails" for those in the know–do for your hands what heels do for your legs. In other words, they making them appear slimmer and longer. But honestly, I can't help but thinking about a fearsome monster or a vicious mountain lion everytime I see these sharp talons! I'm not really sure I can get down like that…
So, I checked out Nail Lounge, a nail salon in Washington Heights owned by celebrity manicurist Qiana Aviles, for some inspiration. Check out some of their best designs, follow them for more ideas at Naillounge and most importantly, let me know what you think about these "stiletto nails"!

Who says you have to go all out? If you’re into simpler designs like myself, try painting four of your nails one solid color then paint your ring finger a darker or bolder shade. Add a little beading or studs to your ring finger for an extra pop of glamour.
