Owners of wide nails choose a manicure is not easy - it is important to consider their length, shape and color. The best option is to grow, but, unfortunately, this option is not suitable for many, and the trends of recent years are clearly inclined in favor of naturalness.
That is why it is especially important for nail design to be literate.
Features of design
Experts of nail service claim that in fact wide nails are not at all such a terrible problem as it seems. Of course, long and narrow nails look beautiful and sexy, but broad can look quite attractive if you know a number of nuances:
- the nail plate will visually stretch if you remove or at least move the cuticle;
- say a solid “no” to a square and rectangular shape — rounded tips are preferable for wide marigolds;
- the coating should be applied in such a way that the sides of the nail are left unpainted - they should not be used in the decor;
- dark tones visually make the plate more narrow;
- drawing is better to put on the central part of the nail so that it distracts the attention of others from the thickness;
- If possible, try to grow a little nails - they should not look too short;
- try not to abuse large drawings and volume modeling - the decor should be elegant.
Wide nails give two significant advantages - they are quite simple to process and easy to decorate, because there is much more space for decoration than with narrow nails.
There are a lot of ways to design wide nails, especially the nail industry does not stand in one place, but each season brings new trends, and at the same time there are some techniques that should be avoided.
- Try to be as careful as possible with prints. For example, small flowers and peas will look great only if they are applied only on one nail.
- On wide nails, the leopard design and all sorts of graphic prints look good. So, vertical lines, rhombuses or abstraction look advantageous.
- A great idea could be the so-called naked manicure, in which the painted areas of the nail alternate with unstained - in this case, you can adjust the visual width of the nail, while getting a stylish modern coating.
- Do not draw horizontal lines, especially in the center. This decor visually cuts the nail, making it even shorter.
- Set aside flashy and acidic shades - such decisions are appropriate only for teenage girls who still do not know how to look after themselves and fashion trends.
Color palette
When decorating wide nails, the chosen color of the coating is important. Definitely worth shifting the emphasis in favor of dark varnishes, because they tend to visually narrow and lengthen the nail. However, light colors are not discounted - they are good for placing stylish accents and locks. As a rule, light varnishes combine with other shades. Good combinations are considered several options.
- Pink monochromatic coating with an emphasis on any one single nail, usually a nameless one. On short nails stylishly peaked pictures, for example, a star look stylishly.
- Often use a combination of several varnishes, for example, harmoniously looks ashen with pink, ultramarine with white or blue with lilac. Usually there are two fingers on one hand and one finger on the other, so the general perception of the manicure will not be overloaded.
- Contrary to popular belief that red color is only suitable for perfect long nails, it is often used for wide. This shade visually lengthens the nails, so they can safely cover all the nail plate. And to make the coating more refined - on one of the fingers draw a tracery monogram or place one rhinestone.
