DNKa - Professional Nail Gel Tips L-Stilleto, 240pcs

Professional Nail Gel Tips (L-Stiletto)

The boldest shape in DNKa's Gel Tips line — a long, tapered stiletto point, built on the same thin, flexible gel-based construction that keeps the rest of the collection quick to apply and comfortable to wear.

Why Techs Reach for These

• Fast, reliable extension process, significantly quicker than sculpting from scratch
• Thin but strong, flexible enough to move naturally with the nail
• Withstands daily wear without losing shape
• Easy to file and re-length, though the sharp point requires more careful shaping than rounder shapes

What's in the Set

240 pieces total, covering 12 sizes in the L-Stiletto shape, so a full range of nail widths is covered from a single set. L-Stiletto specifically means a long, dramatically tapered point — the most extreme shape in DNKa's four-shape lineup.

How to Apply

1. Standard nail prep — remove any previous coating, buff the surface, complete the manicure
2. Apply a degreaser to the buffed nail, then a primer for adhesion
3. Apply a base coat across the whole natural nail, cure 60 seconds under LED
4. Select the correct tip size, apply base coat to the tip's contact area, cure 60 seconds under LED
5. Fix the tip in place — a mini lamp or flashlight lamp works well for convenient positioning
6. Cure in a 36/48W hybrid lamp for 1–2 minutes
7. Remove the step at the cuticle area with a drill or file, seal the join with a base layer
8. Cure the leveling layer — 2–3 minutes UV or 60 seconds LED
9. Shape the nail with a file, no more than 180 grit
10. Reinforce the tip before color with DNKa Liquid Acrylgel, DNKa Builder Gel, or another gel/acrylgel of choice

Also available in Almond, Oval, and Square shapes, for clients who want a softer silhouette instead. Works alongside DNKa's Builder Gel and Cover Base ranges.

FAQ

Is L-Stiletto a good choice for clients new to long extensions?
It's the most dramatic shape in the lineup, so it suits clients who specifically want a long, pointed look rather than a first-time extension choice — a softer shape like Almond or Oval is usually more forgiving to start with.

Do the tips need reinforcement before adding color?
Yes, reinforcing with a builder gel, liquid acrylgel, or similar product is recommended before applying the color coating, and matters even more with a longer, more exposed shape like this one.
