Office & Professional Nails

Nails that pass the Monday-morning test. This is the edit for work: nude and beige, soft pink, pearl, classic white-tip French and a few quiet black-tip options — all in medium lengths that type, file and shake hands without getting in the way.

147 designs, most of them in the squoval and oval shapes that read as neat rather than dramatic. Matte and glossy finishes that sit under office lighting without shouting; gel finishes for a healthy just-done look. Nothing here needs a salon appointment or a lamp.

The routine most customers settle into: apply on Sunday evening, wear through the working week, peel off on Friday night if you want something louder for the weekend — the nail underneath is untouched. Five sets covers five working weeks.

Every set is 24 press-on tips in 12 sizes (0–9 plus half sizes 5.5 and 6.5) so each finger gets its own fit, with a mini file and a wooden cuticle stick. No UV lamp, no drilling, no soak-off — press on in ten minutes at the kitchen table and wear for up to 7 days. Glue is not included; any nail glue from a pharmacy or supermarket works.

Which shape for work?

• Squoval — square tip with softened corners. The safest office shape; the least likely to catch.
• Oval — rounded and natural-looking. Closest to a well-kept natural nail.
• Almond — tapered and elongating. Fine for work in a nude or French; save the darker almond sets for evenings.

Between sizes? Go smaller, never larger — a slightly narrow tip sits inside the nail edge and blends; a wide one overhangs and lifts.
