The First Date Edit: How to Choose Nails That Make the Perfect Impression

Introduction
First dates are stressful enough. You are worrying about conversation starters, spinach in your teeth, and whether he looks like his profile picture.
The last thing you need to worry about is your nails popping off or being too long to hold a fork.
Your hands are always on display during a dinner date. They communicate a lot about your personality.
At TsukiNails, we want you to feel confident, not self-conscious. Here is your guide to the perfect "First Date" manicure.

1. The "High Maintenance" Trap

• The Risk: While we love XL Stiletto nails, on a first date, they can sometimes intimidate a partner or make simple tasks (like picking up a credit card or eating tacos) look difficult.

• The Safe Bet: Medium Almond.

• Why: It’s feminine and elongating, but functional enough that you look effortless and relaxed, not like you need help opening a door.

2. Red vs. Pink (The Vibe Check)

• Classic Red: Signals confidence, passion, and maturity. It says, "I know what I want." (See our Red Nail Theory post!).

• Soft Pink/Nude: Signals sweetness, approachability, and softness. It says, "I'm easy to talk to."

• Tsuki Pick: Choose based on the venue. Dive bar? Go Red. Coffee shop? Go Pink.
