Long sharp nails are not popular with everyone. Someone prefers short rounded ones, playing with color and design; someone likes an eternal classic - French manicure. However, there are girls who can and want to have a dizzying length of nails, giving them the form of a stylet or peaks.
Features
This is a very extravagant manicure, especially if it has a complex design. It is very important not to "overdo it" with nail decoration, otherwise originality will turn into vulgarity and vulgarity. Since the form itself is a design element in stylet, it is better not to overload it with an abundance of details. If you want to make a complex decor, it is advisable to make it an emphasis on one nail, leaving the rest plain. Then both the shape and the length will be emphasized in the best way.
One of the varieties of the "stylet" is the "peak". This is the most sharpened form, it can be performed on both relatively short and long nails. Due to its sharpness, the “peak” cannot be attributed to a practical form. However, its spectacular appearance cannot be denied.
Short “peaks” can be made on natural nails, and long ones (more than 0.8-1 cm) will require building up with gel or acrylic. This is necessary in order to minimize the risk of breaking the nail. The form of “stylet” (and “peak” as well) is characterized by the ability to break under the “root”, which is both unaesthetic and very painful. Gel or acrylic strengthens the nail plate, making it less vulnerable to clings and mechanical damage.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to wear this form of nails carefully, since any traumatic effect on them can become fatal. In addition, the nail itself can also cause damage: items of clothing, things, people.Mothers of babies and women whose work is connected with close contact with children should opt for another form of sawdust of the nail plate, as the baby’s delicate skin is easily injured even by a short “peak”.
Choosing a "peak" as an option for nail design, you should consider the requirements of the organization in which you work. Many companies clearly prescribe a dress code, which indicates both the form and color of the manicure. If in your office there are no such requirements, you can safely wear “stilettos”.
"Peaks" go very well to girls who have short wide nails, as they visually stretch their fingers and make their hands more elegant. But for lucky women with long and thin fingers, it is better to choose a different shape, since the “peaks” can turn the handles into a “rake”.
If your fingers are short and dense, instead of a “peak” a soft square or almond will do. Each of these forms visually stretches fingers and makes nails beautiful. However, if your pen is small and chubby, then "stilettos" (short) can very well fit.
Subtleties of execution
Choosing "peaks" for the design of manicure, it is better to entrust this work to the master of nail service, who has sufficient experience and qualifications, since this form of filing is difficult to perform and requires certain skills. Natural nails should be filed only with glass or ceramic files, metal injures them. Sawdust is made exclusively in one direction, it is not necessary to saw back and forth, since the free edge is already fragile enough due to its sharpness, it can delaminate.
When “peaks” are formed, the free edge is sawn so that the corners remain sharp. You do not need to smooth them, this is the peculiarity of this form. In order to file a “peak”, the length of the free edge should not be less than 6-8 mm.
Design
For peak nails, any design used for the rest of the forms is suitable.
- French due to the original sawdust will look more extravagant, but at the same time classically.
- A plain coating will make your hands attractive.
- “Lunar” manicure can be performed both in bright colors and in neutral ones. Maybe, in general, only the hole can be covered, and the nail itself is left “naked”.
- The geometry looks very relevant at the “peaks”, it is better to use beige and black color, emphasizing them with thin strips of sparkles.
- The sculpting and complex aquarium patterns are not very fashionable now, but the “broken glass” and “dragon scales” are quite.
- The combination of glossy and matte finish does not lose its sharpness, as does the gradient. The latter can be combined with the "cat's eye", geometry, rhinestones and stones.
- The “casting” technique and liquid stones can very effectively emphasize the shape of the “peak”, however, they should not be used for all ten fingers. It is better to single out one nail, so this type of design will look even more interesting.
