A Fun Guide to Six Style Personalities
When choosing press-on nails, most of us don't start by thinking about nail shapes or colour palettes.
We start with a feeling.
Some days, you want to look polished and powerful. Other days, you want something soft, romantic, creative, or quietly confident. That's why style communities often use personality archetypes like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omega, and Sigma. While these aren't scientific personality types, they can be a fun way to explore different fashion aesthetics and discover nail styles that match your mood.
