Manicure for long square nails

Fashion is known to be fleeting and merciless. Not many areas of nail art can remain in trend for several seasons in a row. The sad fate and the square shape of the nails did not ignore.

This type of tip design finds its admirers due to its versatility and ease of creation. The square looks great at any length, combined with any decor and style of clothing. And most importantly - to give a square shape to the nails simply even at home.

But there are cases when such a manicure is categorically not recommended:

• if the girl has thin fingers (a square will visually make them even thinner);
• if the phalanges are short and full (he will also emphasize this form even more).

If there are no such problems, it remains only to determine the shape of the corners and design. The fact is that square manicure has two varieties: strict and soft design options for corners.

The classic shape suggests sharp corners. On long nails, this looks very impressive, but in everyday life, the pointed tips quickly get damaged when doing everyday work. Therefore, most of the girls prefer rounded corners. In addition to convenience, they also look great at any length.

To create such a manicure, the nail is first shaped into a square, making vertical cuts on the sides and horizontal cuts on the tip. It should be noted that the nail file is moved only in one direction - then the shape of the end face will be perfectly flat. At the end of the procedure, give the corners a slightly rounded shape.

Most nail art options will look equally good on both long square nails and short ones.

And here, first of all, I want to note the French. This universal style will be appropriate both in the spring and summer, and in the cold autumn and winter. The classic type with a white tip can be decorated with rhinestones or sparkles. Drawings look good on a square shape. A more modern option will be a French twist, which goes well with this form.

In accordance with the fashion trends of the season, do not forget about the moon manicure. A diverse palette of colors suitable for its design opens up great opportunities for lovers of experiments. I would like to separately note the bright, colorful colors of the orange and blue palettes, which can bring summer brightness and arrogance to the image.

For long square nails, the following trending techniques will also be an excellent option:

• Ombre
• cat's eye;
• geometry;
• minimalism;
• openwork decor.

A lively, bright and warm version of the ombre is obtained using pastel shades of green, yellow and blue. When performing this technique, you need to remember that this season the most fashionable are contrasting combinations.

To complement the business look, the most suitable style is geometry, with which you can emphasize the square shape of the nails. The rigor of such a decor can be softened with a light base, on which the geometry will stand out brighter.

Minimalism can also be attributed to everyday manicure. However, some of its varieties are universal and are used for evening onions. This option will be just a lifesaver for business women. In addition, with a long work surface, minimalism can be supplemented with moon manicure or a French-style decor.

Openwork square nails can also become a universal style. It all depends on the contrast of colors used and design. If one or two nails will be painted with a pattern in pastel colors, and the rest will have a discreet monophonic coating, then this is definitely a daytime option. For clubs or late cocktails, even with business partners, a more vivid and expressive design is needed. It’s great if the onion allows you to use juicy summer shades, as they immediately attract attention and cheer up everyone, including their owner.

One of the options most recommended by experts is an aquarium decor with a floral pattern. It goes well with the square shape of the nails and looks unusual. The highlight of this manicure is the three-dimensionality of the volume. It seems that the picture is visible through the water column.

Another excellent combination, which is popular with fashionistas, was an ombre, decorated with an unfinished frame in a contrasting color. Framing favorably emphasizes the square tip and has many variations. The most popular color frames were silver and gold. They are almost universal, combined with various colors and are suitable for any look.

To the manicure trends for long square nails can be attributed and laid-on decor made of wire. This trend has gained popularity relatively recently. Its relevance is due to the possibility of creating a unique design on its own. To do this, it is enough to bend a thin wire into several curls or a small figure, for example. animal profile, and fix with clear varnish in several places based on any color. For such a creative, this form fits perfectly.
