What are almond press on nails?
They're shaped like a slim almond—narrow at the tip, widest at the base—so they elongate the hand. Softer than coffin, pointier than oval, almond reads "put-together" without trying.

FAQ
Are almond press on nails good for short nails?
Yes. Almond works at a shorter length and actually makes fingers look longer—ideal if you don't want a long tip.
Are almond and stiletto nails the same?
No. Almond tapers to a soft point; stiletto is a sharp, dramatic point. Almond is the wearable everyday version.
How long do almond press on nails last?
Up to 2 weeks with glue, or 3–5 days with adhesive tabs.
