Nail Shape: Opt for dramatic shapes like long square, coffin, or stiletto acrylic nails for maximum impact. Press-on nails offer easy application and versatility.

Graphic Patterns: Embrace bold black and white designs for a striking contrast. Experiment with long V-shaped patterns on coffin-shaped nails for a modern edge.

Accessorize Your Nails: Elevate your look with statement-making accessories. Rhinestones, acrylic embellishments, and even unexpected items like hairpins can transform your nails into wearable art.

Shine Bright: Add dimension and luxury with shiny chrome finishes. Consider incorporating a white fire pattern on a pink chrome base for a dazzling effect.

Chipped Nails for Guys: Don't be afraid to break the mold! Experiment with chipped nail aesthetics for a masculine, edgy look.
