Are you one of those, who follow a thousand nail artists on Instagram, or have subscribed to innumerable nail art videos on YouTube? Ah! This article is for you! Who would have thought those tiny little part of our bodies (read, nails) could serve as canvasses for such beautiful art and decorations and ultimately serve as a platform to showcase the talent of artists/painters! There are so many things that can be done to your nails. You can shape them into a square, oval, almond, or a coffin; you can paint them in unique designs and showcase your drawing skills; you can also get a French manicure done to polish your nails as well as calm your hands and bask in relaxation.

So what is the current trend in the nail-world? Oh, the ‘Stiletto Nails’! Stiletto, as the name suggests, means ‘pointed’, and yes, this exactly means your nails are shaped to give a pointed look. Sometimes, it looks chic, but if the art goes wrong, it seems as if you’re a ghost, straight out of a horror movie! Even our favourite celebs have been captured sporting their rock-chic stiletto nails including Beyonce, Fergie, Kelly Osbourne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna etc. to name a few. STILETTO NAILS EDITED FOR TDB1
