How to pick up?
When choosing a particular form, you need to consider many factors. Experts suggest starting with the easiest way. To do this, you can take a piece of foil or plain white paper. From it are cut marigolds of different shapes and lengths.
We apply the resulting layouts (or glue) on all the fingers of one hand. So it will be easier to decide which form will suit you. Can be used for this purpose and bright adhesive stickers.
Experts consider oval or round as ideal forms, they are suitable for more than 80% of women. Modern reading of these forms - nail plate "ballerina". But blindly follow the advice is not worth it. You need to choose the form individually, in accordance with their lifestyle and capabilities of the nail plate.
A manicure should not only be beautiful and comfortable, but also be in harmony with the whole image and style of her mistress.
A beautiful line of nails attracts attention. However, it is worth remembering that manicures are chosen not only for aesthetic reasons and on the basis of their own taste. With such nails you will have to walk more than one day around the clock, so it’s nice to connect practical considerations.
Analyze what kind of life you lead, what work you are doing. If you have a small child or, for example, you work as a doctor, a seamstress, a manicure on long nails is absolutely contraindicated. The length and shape are chosen so that they are comfortable for the hostess, safe and do not bring troubles and injuries to others.
It is important to consider the anatomical structure of the fingers and hand as a whole. Square manicure and its varieties are not suitable for full fingers. It is worth picking up a manicure that lengthens the fingers. Visually make them more graceful will help the oval or "ballerina" at an average length. For wide nail plates fit a rounded square or circle on short nails.
The quality of natural nails will also directly influence the choice of shape. If you are a happy owner of healthy strong nails, then you practically have no limitations in the selection of design. Well, if, like most, you are not lucky to have naturally strong marigolds, you can strengthen them with the help of special tools or build them up.
Optimal will be the choice of the form that breaks the least. These are round and oval nails. Also acceptable is the shape of a rounded square on medium and short length.
Remember about your favorite coating and its colors. Think about future design. Which is used most often? If saturated dark tones are preferred, short square nails should be preferred. So they will look elegant, elegant and fashionable.
Long burgundy or black can look pretty flashy and challenging. For such cases, save the coating powdery delicate shades.
On triangular leg french jacket will look ridiculous. Lovers of rhinestones should not choose square nails. And if you want to embody a fashionable geometric pattern, do not rush to file the nails in almond shape. Clear strict lines will destroy the harmonious impression of the smooth curves of this form.
Therefore, the future design when creating a specific geometry of the nails should be considered not least.
How to do?

- We make out the nails on the well-groomed hands, so first you should take care of their beauty. Carefully remove the old coating and make a nourishing bath for the hands. To do this, add salt and olive oil to warm water, you can dip rose petals and honey. After that, remove the cuticle, if necessary. Lubricate the fingers along with the nails with a nourishing cream and proceed to work.
- To make a neat manicure will help correct file. It must be of high quality. Discard the old metal options. They spoil the nail plate, besides unhygienic.
If possible, it is better to buy a glass file. This is the best option for home use. Professionals use a disposable tool on a paper basis. A good and inexpensive tool is a plastic file. It is better to choose a coating size of about 250-300 units per square centimeter of the working area.
- To align the length on all fingers using a regular straight file or bent like a banana. Hold her four fingers on top, and below the file have a thumb. Movement should be smooth and in one direction. Hurry is not worth it, because you can overdo it and remove the excess. Then you have to adjust all the nails to such a length. Multi-level manicure looks untidy.
- You can start creating a form.A popular oval is created by filing corners at one angle from the edges to the middle of the nail plate and in the opposite direction. To obtain a symmetrical figure at the end, you can process the nail with a softer file, making light strokes from the sides.
- When making a shape, a rounded square does roughly the same thing. Only the middle of the nail is not affected, it should remain straight. Corners are filmed to a lesser extent and with a different inclination.
- The sharp form is just as easy to create. But at its performance it is necessary to be extremely accurate and attentive. Natural nails must be strong and have sufficient length for processing. The nail plate is shaped into an oval. Then the tip is left alone and actively cut the corners in the direction from the edges to the center.
- Choose the appropriate design and create a beautiful pattern on your nails, pre-covering them with a protective transparent base. Do not be afraid of experiments and bright self-expression.
