5 Types of Nail Lengths and Styles to Consider

A Portfolio Containing Square-shaped Nail Sets with Different Designs

We are guilty of scrolling through Instagram and pausing at a celebrity update. Press-on nails are the highlight of their Instagram posts due to the art but also because of the length and style providing that nail art with the perfect canvas to stand out.

Check out any nail set at Digitz by Design. Despite their differences, they come in many styles and lengths to suit nails and fingers of all shapes and lengths.

1. Almond Press-on Nails

Almond-shaped press-on nails date back to the ’90s, but they are quickly becoming a classic. These nails have become the go-to for those who prefer something rounder and less pointy than the stiletto. 

Digitz by Design offers a natural medium length in this shape for a seamless fit. The store recommends this shape for fingers of all lengths whose nail beds are long, like almonds, but narrow.

2. Coffin Press-on Nails

It’s rare to find Kylie Jenner without her signature coffin nails. The star, along with many other social media influencers, is a fan of the coffin/ballerina shape. These nails have a broad base, which tapers into a narrower square-tipped edge.

Coffin nails suit those with wide or narrow nail beds, the former more than the latter. Alternatively, choose this nail shape if you look good with square-shaped press-on nails. You may select from the following lengths at Digitz by Design:

  • Natural long 
  • Natural medium 
  • Natural short (active) 
  • Sculpted medium 
  • Sculpted long 
  • Tapered sculpted XL

3. Round Press-on Nails

Round press-on nails are a lifesaver for shorter fingers with short and/or narrow beds. These nails are tamed into a perfect semi-circle, making shorter fingers with stubby fingernails appear long and elegant. 

While coffin nails and any other square-tipped nails are tricky to maintain, these nails are the exact opposite. Round nails don’t have any sharp edges, so they are less likely to get caught on things and break off. They are more durable with or without nail glue, paint, and other protective measures.

Digitz by Design offers round nails in natural medium and short sizes because its audience wants to keep it real and inconspicuous.

4. Square Press-on Nails

Square nails dominated in 2022 and have continued their winning streak in 2023. Stars new, like Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid, and old, like Gwen Stefani, were wearing this nail shape with a simple manicure, an alluring marble design, or shiny 3D accents.

These press-on nails are recommended for long fingers with long and narrow nail beds. They are flat and straight and hold the same width from top to bottom, resembling a square shape. If you want something that doesn’t require as much maintenance as coffin nails but has the same boxy appearance, get these square nails in one or more of the following lengths:

  • Sculpted XXL 
  • Natural long 
  • Natural medium 
  • Natural short (active) 
  • Natural extra short

Highly Recommended: Ongle Noir

5. Stiletto Press-on Nails

Stiletto press-on nails are loud and bold. They are also high maintenance, but is the effort worth the product? The answer to that is a resounding yes. These nails have graced the beds of many celebrities, such as Fergie, Khloe Kardashian, Lady Gaga, and Kylie Jenner. They are long but can also be short if that’s your wheelhouse and have pointed ends resembling a stiletto heel.

Stiletto nails are recommended for shorter fingers with long or short and narrow or wide nail beds. They go with all fingers, which further adds to their charm, in the following lengths:

  • Sculpted XL 
  • Sculpted Long 
  • Sculpted medium 
  • Natural long 
  • Natural medium 
  • Natural short  
  • Natural XL

The Biggest Nail Trends to Consider

Now that you know all the nail lengths and styles at Digitz by Design, you can use their custom order feature to explore the following nail trends.

  •  Multicoloured Manicures

Press-on nails with iridescent manicures, such as Spring Fling, are all the rage because they offer plenty of opportunity to experiment. You can use as few as three and as many as seven colours of the rainbow to create designs, accentuating them with flecks of glitter, AB chips, matte/glossy topcoats, and other 3D or 2D embellishments.

  •  Marble Press-on Nails

Marble designs were briefly mentioned in square press-on nails. Cosmopolitan features a beautiful marble effect over a nude base. This design appears intricate, but it’s surprisingly easy to pin down. It mixes any two colours in a random design to create some marbling and glosses over them with a top coat to preserve that effect.

  •  Animal Prints

Animal prints are a whole vibe in nail art. The most popular among them is the leopard print, which you can find with the addition of a leather effect in Digitz by Design’s Animal Instinct.

There’s no special sauce behind its popularity. It works for everyone by allowing a change of colours from a regular leopard print to a snow leopard print and vice versa.

  •  The Metallic Element

You can’t go wrong with press-on nails featuring a metallic element. They have a bolder sparkle even when only one of the nails features a splash of the paint. A splash is precisely what you’re in for with Coral Gems, an otherwise nail set with a metallic accent nail.

That’s not to say you can’t coat your entire nail with metallic polish. There are many other press-on nails where these came from at Digitz by Design. Browse their long custom press on nails for sale and follow this guide to get the right shape and length for your fingers and nail beds. Buy a set at the Grab N’ Go section if there’s one in your size, or order luxury handmade press-on nails and wait for them to arrive in the mail.

Why Press Ons are Better than Any Other Fake Nails

  Having beautiful nails gives you an extra boost of confidence and adds an oomph to your overall look. There are many options when it comes to fake nails, including acrylics, gel polishes, and press-on nails. During the pandemic  when people couldn’t go to a nail salon, they started doing their own nails and discovered the convenience and cost-effectiveness of press-on nails. Press-on nails  don’t need much effort and can be done by yourself. Applying press-on nails is quick and easy; you just need to do some nail prep and stick them to your nail bed using adhesive or nail glue. They are durable and come in many styles to suit everyone’s preferences. If you’re still not sure whether to ditch your regular acrylics for press-ons, keep reading. Press-Ons are Safer for Your Natural Nails Wearing acrylics damage your natural nails  underneath, making them weak and brittle. On the other hand, your nails are much safer underneath press-on nails, allowing them to grow. Peop...
