Adhere to the golden mean, about 5 mm.
Regular adjustment prevents cracking. The form can be oval, almond-shaped, rectangular, square, always with rounded edges. But by no means acute. It is better to forget about the stylets.
Nails can also be coated with a colorless or gel polish. This will not only give neatness, but also allow the coating to last longer, about 2 weeks. A great way, if there is no free time - to constantly change the design of the nail plate.
Another trick is shellac. Does not shine, but strengthens and makes the surface smooth.

- “Calm” stormy colors - choose more delicate and neutral shades. Bright tones can not only distract, but also annoy the people around you. If you are a fan of rich colors, choose a slightly darker varnish. It will be appropriate to pick it up to match the tone of clothing.
- Be careful. She did not bother anyone, especially when it comes to work. It is better to do everything modestly than to make a bad impression.
- Do not cover everything with sparkles. Business style does not accept this.
- Keep track of the length. Convenience while working on a computer is a decisive factor.
- Do not use neon colors. They are more suitable for a party or holiday.
- Do not use a lot of jewelry. If you have a ring, bracelet or watch - choose a simpler manicure option.
- Do not try to fit all the trends completely. It will look cumbersome and vulgar. One, two, maximum three combined designs are enough. They will mutually complement and balance each other.
- Watch your colleagues. This is necessary if you are in a new team and are not yet familiar with the rules of the company regarding the appearance of employees. At some enterprises, these rules are spelled out in documents, so it’s better to read them immediately.
