How to make beautiful square nails?

Although this year in the nail-industry consider square manicure less fashionable than oval or almond-shaped, polls show that just a square manicure is very popular among active and stylish women.

Manicure with square nails has several variations, such as the usual and soft "square", as well as with different lengths - from fairly short to outstanding size. The most spectacular ideological variations of the square style are the images on long nails. But the attempt to form such an image on natural plates is rather problematic, since a long manicure, growing back, rolls inwards, thereby spoiling the whole geometry. Therefore, for those women who would like to make one of the varieties of square manicure on their nails, you should pay attention to a more rounded version.

It is worth paying attention to the following design ideas:

• on long nails with a square shape, a bright color - pastel, powdery and nude will look attractive;

• the combination of warm shades makes of the "square" a kind of dreamy option;

• bright classics - quite a promising solution for long manicure options, it looks a little defiant, but very appropriate;

• dark variations of colors are often beaten due to decorative sand or decorations, which dilute the aggressiveness of cold shades;

• The design with a pattern looks spectacular, while it should be used to decorate 1-2 nails.

In this type of manicure, a dense color predominates. So, cold and warm shades on short nails look appropriate and concise.

• And also on short square-shaped nails it looks very nice glossy or matte texture.

In a short version of square manicure decorative attributes are harmoniously combined. Mostly used rhinestones. But, despite the fact that although the plates are short, they are still quite fragile.

There is a variation of manicure "soft square". This option is often chosen after the usual "square" on the nails of the minimum length.

It is necessary to observe the following the sequence to create the usual "square":

• First, the surface of the nail is treated with an antiseptic, sawn to a length of approximately 3 mm; it is necessary to move the cuticle and remove skin growths from the side edges;
• remove the top layer with an abrasive nail file;
• brush off the dust, without touching the surface with your fingers;
• degrease the surface with a special agent;
• apply a dehydrator on moist nails, let it dry;
• with the help of a template, the process of extension occurs - it is rounded, inserted under the nail; the template line should lie on the line of growth of the nail, if the template is inaccurate, then the excess is cut;

• in order to give a natural bend to the manicure, the shape is bent in two vertically; the surface “wings” of the template should clasp the finger, the centerline of the nail should coincide with the line of the superimposed shape;
• An acid-free primer is applied as the initial layer of the future manicure, after which it is dried;
• the primary layer of the gel is applied on the nail and the template, due to which they designate the length and shape of the manicure, and then dried under the lamp for 1 minute; the following gel is applied only after drying the previous one;
• A new layer of the gel is applied in the upper part of the nail, spread out with a brush, while 0.5 mm recede from the cuticles and sides; it is necessary to dry under the lamp for 2–3 minutes;
• after drying, the form is removed, and the top layer is removed with a special liquid;
• surface irregularities are ground;
• a nail file for artificial manicure materials creates the shape of the free edge, the particles after the cut are removed with a brush;
• the surface is degreased;
• the final coating is applied in a thin layer, dried for 1 minute;
• finish with lacquer.

To create a soft square manicure, you need the following materials and tools:

• for the preparation stage - nail polish remover, cotton pads, napkins, backing, water with necessary salts and oils, hand cream;
• nail scissors;
• nail file with an abrasive coating;
• grinding and polishing plates;
• nail polish oil.

The surface of the nail should be prepared as follows:

• remove the previous layer of varnish;
• after immersing the fingers in a tank with water, in which dissolved salts and oils; as soon as the skin is steamed out, it is pushed aside and cut off;
• in places where the skin was cut, put cream;
• degrease the nail.

The sequence of creating a "soft nail" is as follows:

• long or pointed plates are cut with nippers parallel to the growth line in one step; for cutting accuracy from the edges, you can put labels;
• to process cuts, you can use an abrasive nail file or a milling cutter; nail file movements should be directed in one direction, while maintaining the shape of the square;
• using abrasive sawing, round off the corners of the nails with light movements; in order to avoid getting an oval, the corners are not completely removed;
• nail dust can be removed with a brush;
• polishing is done - they apply nourishing oil, polish it with a polishing plate, and to check the irregularities on the surface of the manicure, a cloth is used.

It is worth adhering to the following tips from professionals:

• in case of severe damage to the nail plates, you should not try to do the extension, since nails must be healthy for extension;
• cuticle cut is not worth it, but rather push and lubricate with a special tool;
• in the case of filing the movement of the nail file should be in the same direction, with the movement of the nail file in different directions, stratification may occur;
• for natural plates, a nail file with a soft abrasive cloth is best suited; in the case of extended nails, a nail file with a large grain of cloth is more suitable;
• avoid manicure products that contain formaldehyde: it adversely affects the structure of the nail;
• do not exclude the stage of degreasing: varnishes and materials for building better and will last longer on the degreased surface of the nail;

• if you subject your nails to prolonged exposure to high temperature water, this will lead to timely peeling of the varnish;
• it is not necessary to apply the coating with one thick layer on the manicure surface, it is better to use several thin layers;
• varnish solvents should be chosen without the content of acetone, as it damages the nails;
• in order to properly polish the surface of the plates, it is recommended to rub the oil in a circular motion, and then use a polishing nail file to form a shiny surface; without oil, do not use a polishing file on natural plates, and on artificial nails such a technique is allowed;
• to strengthen the nails, it is not necessary to use the funds to build - they will not benefit; best of all this task will cope with the complexes of vitamins and minerals, restorative coatings, salt baths;
• you should not tear off the manicure yourself, otherwise it may cause damage to the upper layer of the nail;
• nail clippers work well as nail clippers, as they do not deform the edge; if you need to remove a small length - using a nail file with an abrasive cloth.
