I am not the stiletto queen by any means, however I have been wearing mine for a few months now and I LOVE THEM!
I do sculpt with acrylic. Fills are pretty easy, I retip ... again sculpting. The trick is to make sure that form is placed perfect. Straight out from the free edge, and not crooked at all. If that form is off by a bit the nails turn out wonky and the strength isn't there. The form is pinched to a point at the end and application follows the light line on the form. It's hard to explain, but if you glance at the side of the form when it is placed properly. If you want to mark your form with a pen, you can do this also. It's easier to apply product. Don't forget to pinch your c-curve for added strength.
