Manicure "ballerina": creating forms and ideas for design

Every year, manicure professionals offer new trends. For example, this year’s novelty was the “ballerina” nail shape, designed to shift its main “competitor” - the “square” nails. Despite only the nascent popularity, this option has already managed to stock up with unique varieties of design and interesting ideas for execution.

The most famous forms of nails in our time are the “square” and the pointed “almonds”. When it comes to the new “ballerina” form, it is worth visually combining both of the above options, and then the figure of pointe shoes - the main symbol of the ballet - will be drawn in the imagination. For this image, the form received such an unusual name - “ballerina”. The nail plate has slightly beveled edges, which we are used to seeing at the “almond” or “triangle”, but such a triangle ends not with an angle, but with a straight line. From a geometric point of view, the shape of the nails “ballerina” is a trapezoid. The nail itself is rather a rhombus with cut corners.

By the way, another name for this option is “coffin”, but, for obvious reasons, it is of little use, and is usually referred to in the context of a joke. This unusual shape of the nails minimizes the risk of chips. The narrowed edges are subject to less mechanical stress, do not cling to household items, so the nails break less, respectively, the manicure lasts longer. Thus, this is a fairly convenient and practical option.

The “ballerina” form can rightfully be recognized as universal.It is suitable for almost every girl, in this form you can adjust both natural nails and build them up. The tapering edges of the nail visually make the fingers longer, so ladies with short fingers are especially worth looking at this shape. If a woman has long fingers, then this form will make them even more elegant, like a pianist.

Accordingly, “pointe shoes” are best combined with strict suits, rather than with a light feminine dress. Although, of course, a competent master will be able to choose a soft and delicate design, even for a romantic person.

To complete the “ballerina” form, you need to use the well-known technologies for performing the “square” and “almond”. File the nail should be in accordance with one of the forms, and in the course of work to adjust it.

On natural nails, the procedure is as follows:

• first you need to determine the length, then saw off the end of the nail in a strict horizontal line, and then saw off the edges of the nail plate at an angle of 45 degrees;
• Another way: first, we cut the beveled side faces, and then remove the tips to the required length.

As for artificial nails, the technique here is a little different.

• In this case, extension is possible both on tips and on forms, but the latter option is more preferable, such nails look more natural.
• If the form of “pointe shoes” is performed on tips, then first the artificial nails are strengthened on natural ones, and only then the form is cut out in the same ways as above. In this case, experts recommend the use of a coarse-grained file, and then fix the finishing touches with soft polishing of the side faces.
• In case of nail extension, you need to set the form at the stage of preparation. After polymerization in the lamp, it remains only to correct the shape.

Consider a few tips from the masters, which will help to create the perfect shape of the nail.

• On short nails, the form of a "ballerina" is created quite simply. First, the length is selected, and only then the angle of inclination is performed. In the process of work, the degree of the slope is also determined, however, the master should be careful and avoid the situation when the tips turn out too narrow or excessively wide.
• To save manicure on natural nails for a longer period, you can strengthen the nail plate with special varnishes used as a base. Acrylic powder is also suitable.

• The “ballerina” form is not suitable for weakened nails. If a girl really wants to see the nails in the form of a "pointe", then she is recommended to build up her nails.
• Pay attention to the corners. A perfectly flat corner is a guarantee of a beautiful manicure in the form of a “ballerina”.
• Making the design, you need to repeat the lines of the nail plate, that is, to perform rhombuses or triangles. When creating a French manicure, it should be borne in mind that a rounded edge will no longer work. The same applies to moon manicure.
• The longer the length of the nail, the less catchy the design should be. It is recommended to avoid a lot of rhinestones and other decorations, let it be a laconic and strict version. Ideally, geometry, a few sparkles and pebbles.

The “ballerina” form allows you to create the most diverse manicure designs, the most interesting of which we will analyze below.

As noted above, when creating a French manicure, there should not be a soft, traditional line of a “smile”. Let it be identical to the shape of the edge of the nail line. A triangular jacket will look even more harmonious.It is recommended to abandon the usual classic colors of French manicure, it is better to give preference to color french.

However, it is not worth it to leave such an extraordinary form in a single laconic french, it will be boring.

Stylish, fashionable and very beautiful, it turns out such a design on nails in the form of a "ballerina". Thanks to the geometric lines, you can visually increase the nails, change the shape, however, the combination of colors is important here. Such an unusual form requires an original combination, contrasting shades will look beautiful, for example, a common design - a combination of pink and black. A win-win option - combinations with brilliance. Avoid curved lines; they warp the shape. Geometry is the most preferred design for short nails.

In this case, it is important to exercise caution. One extra pebble - and the design will be hopelessly spoiled. It is necessary to observe the measure. It is better for an experienced master to use rhinestones, he will definitely tell the client how many elements will be needed for the “ballerina” form. As a color, you can use different shiny shades, it is recommended to lay out these decorations under the cuticle on previously selected nails.

Elegant and elegant look nails "pointes", made in a plain design. At the same time, it is possible that a manicure will suit a romantic tender girl, but then you need to use pastel colors. In a sense, such a design will add a touch of mystery to the lady’s light character, and will hint at boldness and self-confidence that have not been revealed yet. The pink “ballerina” looks great. If the girl is the owner of dark skin, then the ideal option for her is a plain white coating. No need to be afraid of bright colors that attract the eyes of others.

Glossy and matte finish is an excellent option for a ballerina, but velvet or velor will look even more impressive. You can cover all nails with this effect, or you can select several nails, and emphasize only them. An option that combines velor, glossy and matte finish is quite suitable. Decoration with decorative sand should also be included here. This design also looks impressive on nails in the form of a “ballerina”, but it is recommended to cover 1-2 nails with this element.

Sparkles will give out in a modest lady a bright and wayward nature. Glitter looks great on the nails of a “ballerina”, but, as in the case of rhinestones, it is important not to overdo it. Spangles on a nude surface look beautiful, stylish and very harmonious. White and gray glitter coating is a very effective and fashionable option. Another win-win design is light mother of pearl on tanned skin.

This is a manicure for ladies who prefer the Gothic style. By the way, it is in such women that the “ballerina” form is one of their favorites, because such nails resemble not only pointe shoes, but also the coffin. Naturally, the design is carried out in black colors, you can use rhinestones and thematic drawings as decorations. This is a great design option for celebrating the upcoming Halloween party, gothic party or attending a rock concert.

To give such a bold shape a share of romance, you can decorate your nails with lace. The nails become softer and more tender.However, such a design will look beautiful only on a pair of fingers - this is enough to give an airy look. A competent master can draw lace by hand, but more often in the design tools are used in the form of stamping - such work will take no more than two minutes.
