How to choose the shape of nails?

Proper design of nails is the key to a successful manicure. If you choose the right option, your fingers will look beautiful and elegant. In addition, a harmonious solution will hide the imperfections of the hands and fingers. Based on the recommendations of nail service professionals, let's dwell on this issue and find out how to choose the right shape for nails based on their individual characteristics.

Regardless of what exactly you want to choose, there are certain rules by which professionals are guided, offering customers the best nail shape.

1. First landmark - this is the length: if the nails are very short, then choose the option for which there is enough length. When the length is sufficient, select the desired option based on the characteristics of the nail bed.
2. Second landmark there will be side walls of the nail plate. Conventionally, they can be divided into three types: parallel, trapezoidal, that is, expanding from the base, and arched - round, looking towards each other. Moreover, each of the forms may have its own characteristics. For example, the walls may be asymmetrical. However, in general, masters rely on one of three initial forms.
3. Third landmark will be the type of hole itself. It is from her that the shape of the nails often depends. At the same time, the masters note that it is necessary to evaluate the holes of four fingers with the exception of the thumb, since the hole of this finger is almost always angular.

To choose the really best option, the master starts from one of three types.If the side walls of the nail bed are parallel, it can offer the shape of a square, rounded square, oval and almond. Owners of this type of nail bed are allowed all the options, such nails will look beautiful, even if you sharpen their tips, make stilettos, a sword or pipe. You can not limit yourself to the choice of form.

If the sides of the nail bed expand from the base, you will have to give the form a visual alignment effect. Regardless of our desire, we immediately need to file the sides in the growth zone for narrowing. After that, you can display the edge of the soft square. Such a trick will balance the expansion of the nail plate.

In the future, the coating should be applied with almost parallel lines on the sides of the nail, departing from the expansion. This technique will allow you to get beautiful parallels and an even soft square.

If the sides are barrel-shaped, here you need to balance the filletthat is possible by choosing between oval and almond. In this case, the length of the nails should be at least average. This will give elegance to your hands. The square is not applicable here, because regardless of the length, it will expand the plates and give the nails a visual weight.

This item is relevant for marigolds with side walls. To correctly choose the shape of the nails, you can not ignore the cuticle line, which can be square (with corners), round and narrowed-oval. Here you should adhere to the golden rule: the line of the upper edge should be a mirror image of the cuticle line.

Accordingly, if the line:

• square, the soft square will become the ideal form;
• oval, it is worth choosing an oval;
• narrowed, it is better to choose almonds, but with a sufficient length of the nails.

Female fingers also differ in shape, which can not be ignored when choosing the best option for nails. Therefore, the same form can look completely different on thick, thin, long or short nails.

Comparing the selected option, taking into account the characteristics of the nail plate itself, it is worth considering the following features.

• The rounded shape is good for a visually narrow nail bed. It is chosen when the fingers are short and wide. In addition, this option looks better than a straight and square shape with a short length.

• Oval nails are almost universal. This option will be a salvation with a short nail bed, due to the slightly elongated upper edge in this case, it will be possible to create the effect of balancing the plate and giving it an aesthetic appearance. Suitable oval for nails of any length.

• Almonds and stiletto can be afford if the fingers are wide or short. These options will allow you to stretch the shortcomings of the short nail bed, they visually ennoble such nails, and the fingers themselves. They are good in that with a sufficient length even the trapezoidal side walls will look almost even. However, in this case, there is one significant drawback: pointed and long nails are characterized by increased fragility.

• Square and soft square is suitable for long and thin female fingers. This form visually shortens the fingers, and therefore it is strictly contraindicated for owners of chubby hands and short fingers. In addition, wide fingers with such a shape seem rather coarse that cannot be pulled out even by the most sophisticated manicure.

As for the shape of the hands, there are also some nuances here. For example, for those who have thin fingers as well as brushes themselves, you can choose for the manicure the pointed shape of the nails, but not too long.

With puffy hands, this form can cross out the proportions of the hands. In this case, the oval option will be the best solution.

In addition to the oval, these can be almond-shaped nails. If the palms are too wide, you need to level the angularity, although even an elongated soft square will not be harmonious here. Small and short palms need to be extended. Elegant handles need an option with a narrowing to the ends.

It is worth taking a closer look at your own hands and answering the question: are your fingers short or long. If they seem short, the short length should be sweep away immediately. Next look at the nail plate, noting whether a wide or short nail bed. In the first embodiment, preference is given to almonds, in the second to oval.

If the fingers are long, the length may be natural or small. Depending on the length of the nail bed, you can choose an oval and a rectangle (with a long nail bed), as well as almonds and a square (with a short one). If the girl has a narrow nail bed, preference can be given to a circle, an oval or a soft rectangle.

Having chosen the best option, you can pre-draw a template of the desired shape, cut and attach it to the nail, slightly bending at the sides.

The choice of the desired form is a task feasible for each of us. It is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. Big length is good for small and short fingers, long and thin is better to strive for naturalness and naturalness.
