Fashion trends, including in the nail industry, change almost every season. Designers come up with all the new images and ways to design the nail plate. At the same time, there are always eternal forms that are popular, regardless of transient fashion trends. One of them is the design of nails in the form of a square and its varieties.

You can choose any shades: from the most delicate to saturated and trendy, even unusual, tones. Regardless of the length of the nails of this form, they can be any design. Different techniques will create unique effects in the design of the image.

Square nails have a number of limitations. They do not fit all forms of hands and fingers. In addition, a sharp square with sharp edges can cling to clothes, hair. If you have to work a lot with your hands or the field of activity is connected with work with children, medical practice, then this can interfere. In that case, if the shape of the square is very like, you can make an intermediate version, which is usually performed with rounded corners. A clear square profile is increasingly giving way to a narrowed variant. It looks no less impressive and elegant, but the half-square nails are more practical in everyday wear.

For festive decorations, a narrow square is often used, which is a combination of an oval (or almond-shaped) shape and a classic rectangle. This design is called “ballerina”, as it has the similarity of the external shape of the form with the ballet dancers' pointe shoes. Recently, an arched version of manicure, which is performed on extended nails, has become increasingly popular. Its main feature is that the square shape is performed not on a straight profile, but on a curved arch. This design gives the nails strength and practicality of use. With regrowth, they look more aesthetically pleasing and elegant in general.

The most successful square nails look on the aristocratic thin and elegant ladies' fingers with an extended nail bed. At the same time, the most winning length for socks and different types of decoration is average. Do not make this form, according to the advice of professionals, the following women:

• owners of large hands and fleshy short fingers;
• having short wide nails or extending from the base to the end in the form of a fan;
• those whose nails are very weak and thin by nature;
• mistress of the fingers with a short nail bed;
• girls with too thin and thin fingers.

As you can see, such a simple and sought-after form is quite demanding. In addition to the selection of the proportions and properties of the nail, you should pay attention to the lifestyle. Square nails have sharp corners. They tend to cling and break away. Therefore, if you lead an active enough lifestyle or work with your hands, this form on natural nails will not work for you. If the square elegant nails really like, and make them for one of the above reasons is not possible, you should use a little trick. The shape of the rectangle has several varieties with edges of varying degrees of roundness. They are chosen by women who cannot afford a classic square. They look no less impressive, and wearing more practical.

To create a square shape of nails, you do not need an expensive professional tool. Enough pair of high-quality files. Manicurists generally consider this form the easiest. But beginners in any case will have to practice in its creation. Manicure tools are items that should not be saved. Not only the ease and correctness of the technique will depend on their quality. A bad tool can mercilessly ruin the nail plate. As a result, you get chipped and bundles, which will have to fight long and tiring.

It is better to choose special scissors, manicure, sharp with thin tips of good quality steel. The wand for pushing away the cuticles should be from an orange or other soft wood. Together with a special tool for softening the cuticles, it will help create the ideal basis for the nails.

The buff for polishing is worth taking perfectly soft with the smallest grit. Experts advise sawing the glass. It is expensive, but durable, hygienic, provides ease and accuracy of sawdust, does not damage the nail. In terms of price-quality often choose the option of plastic. Such files also have the right to exist. They are quite democratic and easy to use. The main thing is to choose a direct form and the necessary density of abrasive particles (about 300 units).

Few people know that to create a square design of the nail plate it still needs to be prepared. At a minimum, nails need to grow. This and other rules of preparation for manicure relate, of course, natural nails. Perform a rectangular shape on artificial nails much easier.

First of all, you should take care of the strength of the nail plate. To do this, apply a special reinforcing agent under the base coat (or instead of it). Often, nails and strengthen with acrylic powder. If you have time, it is necessary to influence the nail plate, not only externally but also internally. Drink a course of vitamins, relax more, eat right and avoid stress. Our nails, like hair, can tell a lot about the lifestyle of their owner. After all, every change affects them, and often not in the best way.

On the growing round nail, the top is cut to a flat line, while the sides remain round. A few weeks will have to walk with a compromise shape rounded square. Gradually growing nail will take more and more direct shape. Before performing any manicure, you should make your nails neat and well-groomed. To do this, remove the old coating, make a nourishing bath for nails. Apply a moisturizer on your hands and fingers and correct the cuticle.

To create a beautiful and neat square-shaped manicure on your nails, you do not need to use the services of professionals. You can make a square shape yourself using a pair of files. Properly complete the work will help step by step scheme of action.

• Let's start with the fact that you need to cut correctly. Moves are made in one direction, not in different directions. This will help protect the nail plate from damage. The nail file is held approximately in the middle so that 4 fingers are on one side of it, and the thumb is supported on the other.
• At first, the tip is perpendicular to the finger. It should be a straight line. We saw carefully, not hurrying, trying not to remove the extra length. The main thing is that the nails on all fingers are the same in size. With straight corners do not do anything. You can lightly process them with a soft nail file to give a complete shape.
• If the form is rounded square, then the corners should be processed. They are filmed at a soft, obtuse angle. The shape should not be too streamlined; rather, a slightly smoother angle. We make sure that all the corners were symmetrical and small. Otherwise, the nails will resemble rather an oval or a ballerina.
• When a square is made from an oval or almond shape, the edges are almost completely processed. The main focus will be on the tip of the nail. It should be perfectly straight and the right width. Too narrow a stripe will resemble a truncated rhombus. A rather wide looks ugly, especially if the nails expand at the ends in their natural form.

Periodically let the nail plates "breathe" and take a break from the decorative coatings. It is better to do this at least once every two weeks. Will help to restore a healthy look bath with oil and sea salt for strengthening. Do not ignore cosmetics for nails. With regular use, fortified preparations, coatings for thickening and leveling, as well as the growth of the nail plate, give a noticeable result. Make a correction form at least once in 1 - 1.5 weeks. Then the nails will always look well-groomed, as if fresh from the salon.

Under the long nails often fall different particles, cosmetics and just dirt. Do not clean it with the tip of a file or scissors. You can take a soft toothbrush or a special manicure brush. So the skin under the nail will not be damaged.Dirty work, washing, washing dishes, the use of caustic detergents should be carried out using gloves. And the nails will look great longer, and the skin of the hands will be protected from the negative effects of harmful substances. Any varnish or gel coating requires the use of a transparent base for a more even effect and protection of the nail plate. Top should also be applied to the resulting design. This will help keep the coating more bright and fresh for a long time.

Although the execution of a square shape is considered to be an easy task, each master has his own favorite technique, which allows him to make ideally verified square geometry. At first, experts advise using templates. They can be made independently by cutting a rectangle of the required size from paper or cardboard. It is applied to the nail plate and outlined with a water-based pen or felt-tip pen. Sawdust is done on ready lines. So the manicure will turn out ideally equal and accurate.

If at least one of the nails is broken, you should shorten all the rest to its length. Otherwise, the manicure will look ridiculous and sloppy. Do not feel sorry for the length. Short nails can look no less impressive. To the edge of the nail does not exfoliate, when applying the main coating should be sealed in the same tone. And in the end still to pass and top - strengthener. If the sharp corners are broken off, they are given a smoother rounded shape with a saw. We get a trend version of manicure - a rounded square. In this case, this form will need to give all the nail plates.
