Who writes Styvea?
Sloane Avery edits and writes every guide. Sloane has an editorial background in nails and beauty and writes from years of testing shapes, colors, and finishes, for anyone who loves a good manicure.
How often do new guides go live?
New guides publish regularly. As of June 2026, 17 in-depth, image-led nail guides are live, covering nail shapes, nail colors, and a growing library of nail art techniques, with seasonal looks, press-ons, and nail care on the way.
Do these looks work on short nails and regular polish?
Yes. Every guide shows looks on a range of nail lengths and skin tones, and notes how to wear each one in gel or regular polish. There is a full guide dedicated to short nail designs, and the others flag which ideas suit shorter or longer nails.
Can I save these to Pinterest?
Yes. Every guide has a vertical Pinterest pin you can save, and the images are built to look great on a Pinterest board. Follow @Styveacom on Pinterest to see new pins as guides publish.
