The way out of the situation is to perform a long-lasting manicure using gel polish or shellac, after which you can forget about the problem for a long time. What fashion ideas are at the peak of popularity right now?

It is possible to emphasize the beauty of long nails by covering them with shellac of light shades. How it works? A monophonic coating extends the nail, and a light color draws attention to the shape. Optionally, you can add drawings or decorations to the ring and middle fingers, which is relevant.

Before choosing a shade, you need to take into account skin color. Owners of peach and pinkish shades of natural cover are better to choose cold tones of varnish. Dark-skinned ladies need to combine olive, yellow and beige tones in a manicure. Snow White can safely paint nails with pink and powder varnishes.

For long nails, varnishes with a matte texture are perfect. These relative innovations in the nail industry go well with shiny jewelry such as rhinestones, broken glass, sequins and other shining decor elements.

Well-groomed overgrown or extended nails with gel polish will decorate almost any color.You can not be afraid that dark shades visually reduce the nail plate, and boldly choose burgundy, dark green, black colors with a matte texture.

Classics will never go out of style. French only emphasizes the femininity and sophistication of long nails. You can perform a traditional white-pink French manicure, as well as colored, where the tips are painted in any other desired color.

French can be supplemented with rhinestones, patterns of various types, as well as combined with plain nails.

Permanent manicure on long nails, made using gel polish or shellac, allows you to use interesting effects for nail design. The changed top layer when using special tools becomes rough and very original in appearance. For everyday wear, it is better not to cover all nails with texture, but to smooth the general appearance of the manicure, diluting it with standard varnish. A manicure looks very stylish, for example, with broths that match the tone of the main varnish.

Gold and silver shades are still in fashion. Now you do not need to look for a varnish with a metallic sheen effect. The most naturally imitate its special rubbing for gel coatings. They are applied to the nail, fixed with an ultraviolet lamp and shine brilliantly. You can choose these funds with a rainbow overflow called a chameleon.

• perpendicular to the hole in the form of a thin line, which will even more visually lengthen the nail;
• sticking randomly on the nail plate (looks good as a nuance on one or two nails);
