Your Guide to Press-On Nail Shapes: Almond, Coffin & Stiletto (By MIBLAB)
I’m the friend who always shows up with fresh nails—no salon rush, no appointment drama. With MIBLAB press-on nails, I can switch from minimal Monday to party Friday in minutes. If you’re choosing between almond, coffin, or stiletto, here’s the quick, stylish way to find “your” shape—whether you’re heading to a Zürich office, a Paris café, or a Berlin gallery night.
What Are Press-On Nails (and why I swear by them)
• Fast: 10–15 minutes to a flawless set.
• Flexible: Swap shapes, lengths, and finishes whenever your outfit changes.
• Gentle: With proper removal, they’re kinder to natural nails than many salon processes.
• Reusable: Careful wear + storage = multiple uses.
Almond Nails (The effortless, everyday favorite)
• Vibe: Softly tapered with a rounded tip—universally flattering and ultra-wearable.
• Why I love it: Looks elegant but never “too much.” Great for commuters, keyboards, and cappuccinos.
• Best for: Slimming shorter fingers; business-casual to date-night.
• Pair with: Milky nudes, soft pinks, modern French, pearl sheen.
Coffin (Ballerina) Nails (Polished, fashion-editor energy)
• Vibe: Tapered sides with a squared tip—sleek, chic, a little “couture.”
• Why I love it: The flat tip makes bold art and chrome finishes pop—hello street style snaps.
• Best for: Medium to long lengths; confident, structured looks.
• Pair with: Glazed chrome, velvet burgundy, latte browns, minimalist line art.
Stiletto Nails (Statement maker, instant drama)
• Vibe: Long and pointed—editorial, confident, head-turning.
• Why I love it: It’s the “I woke up iconic” shape. Perfect for concerts, evenings out, and fashion week vibes.
• Best for: Special occasions, photo moments; experienced press-on fans.
• Pair with: Black cherry, galaxy glitter, oil-slick chrome, negative-space art.
How to Choose Your Shape (Quick decision tree)
• Need all-day comfort + typing? Go Almond in short/medium.
• Love sleek lines + photo-ready tips? Try Coffin medium.
• Want high-impact glam for nights out? Stiletto long is your moment.
• Unsure? Start with Almond—most wearable across outfits and seasons.
Sizing, Length & Application Tips
• Find your fit: Match the included sizing chart; thumbs first, then index to pinky.
• Tabs vs. Glue:
– Adhesive tabs = quicker, gentler, great for short wear.
– Nail glue = longer hold; apply thinly to avoid overflow.
• Wear time: Typically several days; avoid prying motions, wear gloves for chores.
• Removal: Soak in warm soapy water or use removal solution; never force-pull.
• Reuse: Clean backs, store dry in the MIBLAB box—ready for round two.
Style Pairings (EU-friendly inspo)
• Office Minimal: Almond + milky nude = Swiss-clean minimalism.
• Café Chic: Coffin + latte brown or soft chrome for Paris-casual polish.
• Gallery Night: Stiletto + oil-slick chrome for Berlin-cool edge.
FAQs
• How long do they last? With glue, several days; with tabs, shorter—perfect for weekend plans.
• Are they safe for natural nails? Yes when applied/removed properly. Avoid force; follow removal steps.
• Can I file the tips? Lightly, to refine shape—always file in one direction.
