The shape is still dramatic, just with a much-needed functional edit.
Pair the go-to hue with short stiletto-shaped nails to really punch up the style and add an unexpected twist.
Look no further than this straightforward line manicure for proof.

The thin white lines crisscross along the stiletto shape to create an almost shoelace-like effect.

We love the way the outlined tips emphasize the dramatic stiletto shape.
We love the way the gold shimmer subtly tints the entire color and catches the light.
Plus, pairing that pointy stiletto shape with crisp, pointed lines creates a pleasing geometric effect.

Between the short stiletto style and the cute babystrawberries, this French is anything but basic.
For example, this bright redChristmas manicureincludes presents, snowflakes, and tartan plaid.
But it wouldn’t be complete without that ultra-sharp pointed tip.
