Fashion, as you know, is fleeting and merciless. Not many directions of nail art can remain in trend for several seasons in a row. Not paid attention to the sad fate and the square shape of the nails.
Its popularity is inevitably decreasing, however next season there is still room for options and such a design.
Features
This type of tip design finds its admirers due to its versatility and ease of creation. The square looks great in any length, combined with any decor and style of clothing. And most importantly - to give a square shape to the nails, even at home.
But there are cases when such a manicure is absolutely not recommended:
- if the girl has thin fingers (the square will visually make them even thinner);
- if the phalanges are short and full (he will also emphasize this form even more).
If these problems are not, then it remains only to determine the shape of the corners and design. The fact is that square manicure has two varieties: strict and soft design options for corners.
The classic form suggests sharp corners. On long nails, it looks very impressive, but in everyday life the pointed tips quickly get damaged when performing daily work. Therefore, most girls prefer rounded corners. In addition to convenience, they also look great at any length.
To create such a manicure, the nail is first shaped into a square, making vertical cuts on the sides and horizontal ones at the tip. It should be noted that the nail file is moved only in one direction - then the shape of the end face will be perfectly flat. At the end of the procedure, the corners are slightly rounded.
It is important not to overdo it, otherwise the square will not be traced.
Decoration techniques
Most variants of nail art will look equally good on long and long square nails.
And here, first of all, I want to note french. This universal style will be appropriate both in spring and summer, and in the cold autumn-winter period. The classic type with a white tip can be decorated with rhinestones or sparkles. Not bad on a square form also pictures. A more modern version will be a french twist that goes well with this form.
In accordance with the fashion trends of the season do not forget about the moon manicure. A diverse palette of colors, suitable for its design, opens up opportunities for lovers of experiments. I would like to separately note the bright, colorful colors of orange and blue palettes, which can bring summer brightness and perkiness to the image.
Most effectively, such tones look great length.
For long square nails, such trend techniques will be an excellent option:
- ombre;
- cat's eye;
- geometry;
- minimalism;
- openwork decor.
Live, bright and warm ombre is obtained by using pastel shades of green, yellow and blue. When performing this technique, it must be remembered that this season the most fashionable are considered contrasting combinations.
To complement the business bow, the most appropriate style is geometry, with which you can emphasize the square shape of the nails. The severity of this decor can be mitigated by a light base on which the geometry will stand out more brightly.
Minimalism can also be attributed to the daily manicure. However, some of its varieties are universal and are used for evening bow.This option will be just a lifesaver for business women. In addition, if there is a long work surface, minimalism can be complemented with a moon manicure or a French style decor.
Square-shaped openwork nails can also become a universal style. It all depends on the contrast of colors and design used. If the pattern in pastel colors will be painted with one or two nails, and the rest will be discreet monophonic coating, then this is definitely a daily option. For clubs or late cocktails, albeit with business partners, a brighter and more expressive design is needed. Well, if the bow allows you to use juicy summer shades, as they will immediately attract attention and cheer up everyone, including their owner.
Combination of styles
One of the most recommended options for specialists is an aquarium decor with a floral pattern. It goes well with the square shape of nails and looks unusual. The highlight of this manicure is the three-dimensional volume. It seems that the picture can be seen through the water column.
Another excellent combination, which is popular with fashionistas, was an ombre, decorated with an unfinished frame in a contrasting color. Framing favorably emphasizes the square tip and has many variations. The most popular color frames have become silver and gold. They are almost universal, combined with a variety of colors and suitable for any image.
For manicure trends for long square nails can be attributed, and consignment decor wire. This trend has gained popularity relatively recently. Its relevance is due to the possibility of creating a unique design independently. To do this, it is enough to bend a thin wire into several curls or a small figure, for example. profile of the animal, and fix transparent varnish in several places on the basis of any color. For such a creative, this form fits perfectly.
But whatever design is used, long square nails in any case will look unique among the general tendencies of the rounded tips.
