How to make nails almond shape?

Almond-shaped nails provide a lot of room for design. They are chosen by many beauties around the world, which is associated with the convenience and femininity of this form. It is worth figuring out how to make such a manicure yourself at home, and consider the most relevant design options.

The almond shape represents something in between oval and stylet. In order for this manicure to look succinctly, the free edge must be rather long. At the same time, although the tip is pointed, it is not as thin and elongated as in the stylets.

Beautiful long pointed nails fit any type of figure and fingers. The fact is that such a natural form visually lengthens the fingers, which makes the image elegant and delicate. Especially you should look at this form of ladies with plump handles. In their case, square is contraindicated, but almonds will be most welcome. At the same time, even the impressive length of the free edge will not look pretentious (as with stylets).

When cutting out this form, the master pays great attention to the arched bend. It is easy to see if you look at the nail in a horizontal position from the side of the free edge. The final result will depend on how the bend is performed. Despite the fact that the form is pointed, it should not be devoid of the natural C-shaped arc.

Almond-shaped nail can be obtained in several ways. (like the others). If your nails grow poorly, exfoliate and break, then you can resort to building. But the majority of girls choose a different way - the use of shellac with the strengthening of the nail plate. The fact is that additional protection of the nail from kinks helps to grow the desired length. The main advantage is the natural thickness and shape of the marigold itself.

It is necessary to consider step by step how to achieve this form at home.

• Remove old nail polish from nails. If you have shellac, you will need a special machine or foil.
• Make a manicure. Here we will not describe in detail all its stages. You yourself know that it is necessary to remove the cuticle, burrs and polish the nail plate itself.
• The length should be quite large (in size should be equal to or greater than the length of the nail bed itself). Cut free edge at right angles. So, you get the perfect square. To do this better sharp nippers. In this case, the cut will be smooth.

• Next, you need to arm yourself with a rough file and cut a trapezoidal shape, that is, the tip of you should not be too sharp. It is from this form in the future the easiest to get almonds. For this stage, you can take a rather rough nail file, as this speeds up the process. Do not use scissors or clippers to create a trapezoid.One awkward movement will ruin the whole manicure.
• We take a more delicate nail file and round off our tip. On the one hand, it should be quite thin, but not go to the point. Small rounding and distinguishes almond shape from stylets.
• At the final stage of form creation, it will be necessary to polish the edges and the nail itself. Carefully sweep dust from fingers and marigolds. After that, you can start applying a base coat.

Artists know how to create an almond shape, even from an oval. This will be necessary if you do not want to lose length. Of course, there are fewer preliminary stages, so you don’t have to do the square first, but it’s worth taking into account that making all the nails identical will be more difficult. So, take a rough nail file and gash free edge with an inclination, narrowing it towards the end. The difficulty is that you have to work "by eye". Therefore, make sure that all the nails slope and height were the same.

The variety of options for the design of almond-shaped nails is simply impossible to describe. It all depends on your personal preferences and fantasies. No one restricts you in creating completely unique and unique designs. It is worth considering modern design ideas.

• Monotonous marigolds. This design option is always appropriate. A huge plus is the simplicity of its creation. Even a beginner can cope with a monotonous manicure. If you practice and make efforts, it will always turn out neat and beautiful. The choice of shade depends on the range in which your wardrobe is made. If there is no special unity in it, then it is necessary to choose neutral nude shades or classical light colors.

• Contrast combinations. Manicure, made in contrasting shades, looks very bright, while you do not need to have special skills. It will be enough to cover different nails in the selected shades. By their nature, the technique of execution is no different from a single-color coating. One has only to consider that different varnishes can have a different texture. But this can also be beneficial if you intend to cover some marigolds in a simple gloss, and others with small patches or sparkles.

• Monochrome options. If bright combinations are not for you, but you still want to diversify the manicure, then you can consider a monochrome scale. Shades will differ in their saturation and brightness, while remaining within the same range. For example, it can be blue and blue or beige and brown. How exactly to combine them is up to you. You can fit several tones on one finger or provide your own color for each nail.
• Mirror. This option today is at the peak of popularity. Many are afraid to embody it on their own nails because of the special brightness or strict dress code at work. But here you can find a compromise. Focus only on one of the fingers. So, you will give the manicure originality, but keep it calm overall look. In this case, it is important to choose the right companion lacquer, which will be on the rest of the nails.

• Broken glass. This is an interesting and unusual effect that is created by the use of a special film. It is cut into arbitrary elements of irregular shape and has a pearlescent surface. When placed on the nail close to each other, an illusion is created that there are real fragments on the nail.At the same time, the general view does not lose its restraint. Such a manicure can be done even for everyday wear. If there is a celebration, then a soft shine on the nails will be very useful.
• Chaotic strokes. First you need to select the main background color. It can be both light and dark tones. The difference will be in the end result. In the first case, the manicure will look more gentle and feminine, in the second, it will not be devoid of brightness and originality. The master simply covers the nails in one tone, and then in a chaotic order applies large strokes so that the stripes are visible. To achieve the greatest effect, you can use several shades at once for the strokes themselves.

• Matt. The nobility and elegance of matte manicure will always be on top. For many years, women were forced to be content with only glossy textures. Today, any of the available varnishes (or shellacs) can be transformed already at the final stage, choosing a matte top as the last layer. The main disadvantage of a matte manicure is its marketability. And if on dark shades it will be almost imperceptible, then light solutions very quickly get dirty. It will not be easy to clean this dust from this coating.

• Rhinestones. It seems there are no girls who would be indifferent to these sparkling stones. It is enough to add just a few nail tricks and the manicure will play in a completely new way. Do not do without them and when creating a festive or wedding manicure. Masters of their craft actively use rhinestones and when painting nails. With their help, you can easily give completeness to the pattern or decorate the created picture.

• Glitter. They can be as part of the varnish itself, and applied separately. In the latter case, you are free to choose exactly which part of the nail and in what quantities they will be located on your nail. With their help, you can make an unusual jacket, and even a gradient. At the same time, brilliant tips will invariably attract attention and please their owner.

• Divorces. To create them will need several shades of varnishes. Almost all techniques of creating a divorce include drawing on a wet lacquer. It is very convenient in this case to use gel polish. It freezes only in the UV lamp, which means you can not rush to create the desired pattern. If you have never created such a design yourself, then first practice on a regular sheet of paper. Just drip a few drops of each of the available varnishes, and then with a thin brush (you can try a regular toothpick) make a few stains.

• Monogram. Beautiful curved lines with rounded tips create a very unusual manicure. Depending on the number and shade of such patterns can be as very delicate and airy, and luxurious. Manicurists are specially trained in this technique, so it seems that to repeat this design will not be difficult. But do not rush to conclusions. Before you start drawing monograms on your own marigolds, try repeating them on a regular sheet of paper. To create them, you will need a thin brush, as it is impossible to repeat the thin lines of the normal one.

• Geometry. It can be all kinds of diamonds and intersections in a chaotic or strict order. And also striped manicure belong to this type of design. In this case, the width and number of lanes vary on their own. To ensure that the lines are clear and smooth, use a special manicure adhesive tape. Simply attach it to the nail in the right direction and draw a line (or lines). After that, it should be removed. Although there is a special decorative adhesive tape, in this case, you just need to attach it in the right direction, and cut off the excess with scissors.
• French This is a classic design that today has a lot of variations. Fashionistas are already tired of its traditional performance in nude tones. Therefore, preserving the technology of its implementation, they choose absolutely unexpected combinations. It can be black tips with a neutral tone, and a gold border with a bright base color of the nail plate. No one limits your choice.

• Moon manicure. It is often combined with a jacket, as these areas on the nail have a different shade. But it can be limited to simply highlighting the area at the base in another color (which has the shape of the month). If this option seems rather boring to you, then you can consider moon manicure as a base for creating interesting drawings. And also give it brightness rhinestones, glitter or kamifubuki.
• Lace and veil. What could be more tender and feminine fine lace. Transferring it to your own nails, you will ensure a romantic mood and seductive image. It is rather difficult to draw thin intricacies of threads in a small area. Therefore, manufacturers have provided special films and stickers that mimic this fabric. You just need to cut and attach the element on the finger and fix it with the top. The location of the lace can be absolutely any. It can cover the entire nail or decorate only its edge.

• Kamifubuki. Bright little circles, reminiscent of sunbeams, will certainly cheer up even on a gloomy autumn day. You can have them on the nail in any order. You can create the illusion of a waterfall or sun glare on the water. If you arrange them in large numbers at the base, and to the tip to reduce their presence to a minimum, you get an interesting color transition effect (ombr).
• Marble. It seems it is impossible to repeat such a complex natural pattern. Yes, and that this was realistic. But modern manicure is subject to this. There are several techniques for its implementation. The simplest is to use a special film. The picture has already been applied on it, you just need to fix it on the nail. A more labor-intensive process is painting a marble with a brush, but the effect is worth it.

• Flowers Floral motifs are more suitable for summer and spring. If you want to decorate your nail with a juicy rose in winter, nobody will forbid you to do this. It will be interesting to look and so-called snow or frosty flowers. A small flower on the ring finger will remind everyone (including at work) about the romance of your nature, because a woman should always remain a woman, even if she is a highly qualified and respected specialist.
• Animal prints. It is on the almond shape that such bright accents will look as modest as possible. Do not think that in this category are only well-known leopard spots and tiger stripes. It may well be imitation of the feathers of paradise birds.

• Watercolor. It is almost impossible to create beautiful watercolor drawings without preparation. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the drawing of the main pattern occurs on a wet varnish. To begin with, we advise you to practice on plain paper or special forms, only after that go to the nails. Facilitate the task can special film or stickers.
• Volumetric drawings. To create them you will need Arkyl or gel. Depending on the design chosen, the drawing can be laid out directly on the nail or be a blank that rolls towards the nail. The choice of the subject and tone here is unlimited. It can be beautiful volumetric flowers, imitation of mating, and even small images of birds.

Many girls who chose this form, were pleased with her. The variety of designs and simplicity of marigold delight the owners of this manicure any week. In addition, most girls celebrate the convenience of wearing such marigolds. When working at home and in the office, they did not experience discomfort.
