In the design of manicure an important place is occupied by the shape of the nails. Often, girls, trying to create the perfect design themselves, lose sight of the features of the genetic structure, and focus on the classic image. The result of this approach is usually deplorable. The unsuitable shape of the nail immediately catches the eye and spoils the impression even with perfect decor.
But this does not mean that you can not get the perfect manicure at home. Just for the best result is to know some features of the processing of nail plates.
Features of the shape of the nail
The classic and most successful form is oval. It perfectly lengthens the fingers and emphasizes thin arms. However, by nature it is not given to everyone.
There are other forms:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- trapezoidal.
In each of these options, it is possible to choose a suitable design and correct the existing form correctly.
The most difficult to process is a trapezoid surface. The nail, narrow at the base and extending to the tip, does not allow the nail file to give it the desired direct shape. But even in such a situation, there is a way to correct its appearance.
Experts recommend to carry out the correction constantly, as it will allow to achieve a stable, though not complete effect.
How to fix at home?
To correct the trapezoidal shape of the nails, it is necessary to exclude too short surface treatment, and get rid of the habit of nail biting, if there is one. These two factors have a significant effect on the expansion of the plate at the top.
It is also important when handling the cuticle to push it with a special stick from the top to the bottom. This will not allow the side rollers to protrude onto the work surface, and cause the nail to expand slightly at the bottom. The form will resemble the classic oval.
In order for the cuticle to look well-groomed and grow more slowly, it is necessary to soften it before each procedure. And after processing, it is necessary to moisturize the tissue with a nourishing cream. But in order to narrow the upper boundaries of the nail, a periodic filing of its lateral tips is performed. This visually reduces the tip width.
Build Adjustment
A modern and effective way to correct the appearance of a trapezoid is to build it up.
In the salons often recommend building plates on the form. But for home use is better acrylic coating, as it is easier to perform.
This method has several significant drawbacks, the main of which is the thinning of the nail. After a regular, even if properly executed, acrylic coating, the nail becomes thinner over the entire surface. From this spoils the appearance of weak ends, which, as they grow, bend downwards.
Therefore, the most gentle and simple way is the correct processing and selection of decor.
Design Ideas
When the nails are naturally trapezoidal in shape, the ideal option would be a manicure of a short or, at most, an average length.
Let us dwell on a few ideas that will make life easier for the owners of “trapezes”.
- A combination of dark and light shades can visually extend the work surface. The best manicure with geometry is best for this purpose.A wide straight strip of lacquer, held in the middle with a dark tone, will create the impression of a straight nail and will hide the expanding side tips.
- A great solution would be a manicure in the style of minimalism. Here you can apply a drawing of several vertically running stripes, which will also set the direction for the entire decor.
- Look good on short nails and nude tone. They will create the impression of accuracy and grooming. This can be a great solution for working days, business style.
- The use of bright varnish is also permissible. But with full surface coverage it is better to choose varnish with sparkles. This will help not to focus on the form due to overflows.
