Decor nails with the shape of sharp almonds and the technique of their creation

Almond-shaped nails are considered classics and are suitable for absolutely everyone. This form makes the fingers visually longer and more elegant, so it is ideal for owners of short fingers and puffy hands. It has such a name due to the external similarity with almonds. Externally, the amygdala is similar to the oval, but the difference is in a narrower shape and a sharp edge.

In order to give the nails a beautiful almond-shaped shape, it is necessary that their length be at least half a centimeter. This is because most of the nail plate will have to be cut and filed. To form the shape of the nail plate, you will need such tools:

• files of different calibers (for extended nails, a rough nail file is well suited);
• nippers;
• grinder.

The technique for creating the amygdala shape includes the following steps:

1. First of all, with the help of nippers, it is necessary to evenly cut off the free edge of the nail plate;
2. file with a nail file the formed corners to a trapezoidal shape; at this stage, you can use a coarse nail file to speed up the process, but do not press it too hard so as not to damage the nail;
3. it is necessary to give the remaining free corners rounded outlines with the help of a fine-grained nail file; At this stage, the main thing is to narrow the corners slightly, because in this case you will get stilettos.
4. after the desired form is cut, you can process the nail plate with a grinder.

The greatest difficulty in creating nails with the shape of sharp almonds is the same sawing of corners on all nails, because if the nails in the final form have different widths, it will not look very beautiful and harmonious.Therefore, it is recommended at first to file the corners gently and a little bit, since it will be easier to remove the excess. And you can also cut the shape of sharp almonds from an oval shape, but it will be more difficult in comparison with square. This is due to the fact that it’s quite difficult “by eye” to make all the nails equally narrow.

If the nails are not natural, but extended, then in no case can you use nippers. In this case, you only need to use nail files. To make the process go faster, it is better to take a coarse-grained nail file. She will be able to give the nails the desired shape, but the use of nippers will lead to delamination of the nail plate. But nevertheless, it is recommended initially to make extended nails of the desired shape.

Before giving the nails the appropriate shape, it is advisable to prepare them. First of all, it is recommended to make a bath for nails with essential oils. It will relax and moisturize your hands, soften the cuticle and nail plate, making it easier to work with them further.

After the bath, you should dry your hands well with a paper towel and you can proceed to remove the cuticle, and then give the nails an almond shape.

On the nails with an almond-shaped shape, any design will look great, from classic French manicure to various patterns. Even if you simply coat the nails with colorless varnish, they will look neat and tidy. In itself, the almond-shaped form embodies femininity and elegance, and a plain manicure of pastel shades is able to further emphasize these qualities. In order to “revive” and add bright colors to such a restrained manicure, one nail can be distinguished with the help of rhinestones or sparkles. If the French manicure seems simple and flawed, then you can design your nails with a moon manicure, which does not lose its popularity. All kinds of drawings and patterns that are applied with a brush or using stamping also look advantageous. But also do not overload your nails with an abundance of bright colors and decorations, so that the almond-shaped nails do not lose their beauty and grace.
