Well-groomed hands are an essential attribute of a self-confident, successful lady. However, it is not enough just to make a manicure, it is important to make it right. Choose the desired shade, suitable for the image design and beautiful shape of the nails. The oval-round shape is considered a classic, it goes almost everything, refined and elegant.
Who is the rounded shape of the nails?
The round shape of the nails is often confused with the pointed almond shape, but they are completely different, because the oval, the rounded and semicircular shapes in one way or another repeat the smile line and cuticle. The main advantage of this form is universality, it suits almost any occasion, any shape of fingers, any kind of design. Such nails can be both long and short. Among other things, the rounded shape looks great on plump hands. If nature has presented you with magnificent forms and non-thin handles, a wide surface of the nail, you definitely need to make just such a shape.
The round shape is perfect for those whose work involves hands: if you type a lot, do needlework, then short round nails are an excellent choice for you.
In addition, this form is concise, and it will look very harmonious in images that require restraint, adherence to the dress code.
Another plus in round nails is the ability to visually shorten too long fingers. In this case, you need to abandon the oval and semicircle, preferring a round shape. Despite the fact that long fingers look very elegant, excesses are incompatible with the concept of elegance.
In this form, there are also disadvantages, for example, it is extremely vulnerable to external influences, therefore, microcracks occur extremely often on it. These nails often break than square.
Rounded nails are good for both natural plate and extended. Oval or round marigolds can be made in acrylic and gel. If the trip to the master is not included in your plans, you can make an oval or a circle on the nails yourself.

- Do not rush to get to the design, it is better to wash your hands and saturate them with a cream suitable for your type of hands.
- After this procedure, you can proceed to registration, not forgetting to degrease the surface of the nails.
