It is not easy for owners of wide nails to choose a manicure - it is important to consider their length, shape and color. Growing is the best option, but, unfortunately, this option is not suitable for many, and the trends of recent years are clearly inclined to favor naturalness.
That is why it is especially important here that nail design is competent.
Design Features
Specialists of the nail service assure that in fact, wide nails are not at all such a terrible problem as it seems. Of course, long and narrow nails look beautiful and sexy, but wide ones can look quite attractive if you know a number of nuances:
- the nail plate visually stretches if removed or at least move the cuticle;
- say a solid “no” in square and rectangular shape - for wide nails, rounded tips are preferable;
- the coating should be applied so that the sides of the nail are left unpainted - they should not be used in the decor;
- dark tones visually make the plate narrower;
- drawing is best applied to the central part of the nail so that it distracts the attention of others from the thickness;
- if possible, try to grow the nails a little - they should not look too short;
- try not to abuse large drawings and voluminous sculpting - the decor should be elegant.
Wide nails give two significant advantages - they are quite simple to process and simple to design, since there is much more room for decor than with narrow nails.
There are a lot of ways to design wide nails, especially the nail industry does not stand in one place, but with each season brings new trends, and at the same time there are separate techniques that should be avoided.
- Try to be as accurate as possible with prints. For example, small flowers and peas will look great only if they are applied to only one fingernail.
- On wide nails, the leopard design and various kinds of graphic prints look good. So, vertical lines, rhombuses or abstraction look advantageous.
- A so-called naked manicure can be a great idea, in which the painted areas of the nail alternate with the unpainted ones - in this case, you can adjust the visual width of the nail, while receiving a stylish, modern coating.
- Do not draw horizontal lines, especially in the center. Such a decor will visually clip a nail, make it even shorter.
- Put aside screaming and acidic shades - such decisions are only suitable for teenage girls who still do not know how to monitor themselves and fashion trends.
Color palette
When decorating wide nails, the selected coating color is of no small importance. Definitely worth shifting the emphasis in favor of dark varnishes, since they tend to visually narrow and lengthen the nail. However, light colors should not be discounted - they are good for setting stylish accents and blocking. As a rule, light varnishes combine with other shades. Good options are several options.
- Pink monochromatic coating with an emphasis on any one separate nail, usually anonymous. On short nails, pointed pictures, for example, a star, look stylish.
- Quite often they use a combination of several varnishes, for example, ashen and pink look harmoniously, ultramarine with white or blue with lilac. Usually two fingers are distinguished on one hand and one finger on the other, so the general perception of manicure will not be overloaded.
- Contrary to popular belief that the red color is suitable only for perfect long nails, it is often used for wide ones. This shade visually lengthens the nails, so they can safely cover all the nail plates. And to make the coating more refined - on one of your fingers portray openwork monograms or place one rhinestone.
Black varnish for wide nails is always in trend, it attracts attention, lengthens, emphasizes well-groomed hands.
If you like bright shades, then give preference to mint or turquoise in combination with pink. Keep in mind that in this case no additional decor is needed, this overloads the manicure.
The combination of pink and yellow looks good, especially such a coating is suitable for young women, and to make it even more mischievous - one of the nails can be decorated with a pattern.
French is considered a true classic of nail design. - It suits absolutely all types of nails, and wide ones are no exception. At the same time, you can use the classic French technique with a white smile or experiment with a bright decor, for example, replace the white color with blue or lilac.
Always a perfect combination of black and white in the image of a woman. Manicure is no exception. It will be very beautiful if you cover the base with dark varnish, and with white make stylish accents on the thumb.
By the way, photo-design can also be done on such coverage - and the choice of a picture is limited only by your imagination.
A little tip: choosing an image, try to take into account the color of your accessories - it will be stylish if the shoes and handbag match the lacquer, but clothes can be chosen in any other color.
