FAQ
Which press on shape makes fingers look longer?
Almond. Its soft point elongates the finger. Oval is the next most flattering for everyday.
What's the easiest press on shape for daily wear?
Oval. It's rounded, classic, and least likely to catch on things.
Is coffin too bold for work?
It can be, depending on length. A shorter coffin in a neutral finish (like tortoiseshell) reads dressy but wearable.
