If you have chubby fingers, then you can safely use the almond shape of nails. They will transform the hands, make them visually thinner. But if you already have long thin fingers, it is better to choose a different shape of the nail plates, otherwise the hands may seem very long.

This form is suitable for medium and long nails. However, short fingers can also be elegantly shaped in the form of almonds. It is best to stick to the average length of the nail plate. In any case, the oval version is optimally suitable for all women, as well as for ladies who constantly suffer from leads on pantyhose and stockings with sharp manicure options.

This form is perfect for romantic dates and evening onions, as well as for summer manicure. It can be used in a universal dress code, as well as for representatives of various professions. A similar manicure will look good on the hands of young girls and mature ladies. This versatility draws special attention to the shape of almonds.

To create the perfect manicure, you need to fully prepare for it and purchase all the necessary tools and materials. You will need, first of all, a special nail file. Use it to give the nails an almond shape. To do this, the lateral areas of the nail are gently filed.

You should pre-stock and with the necessary decorative elements that you will need to create a design. Get thin or thick brushes, if you are going to hone your painting skills, stickers, if you are still a novice specialist in the field of nail service. Rhinestones, broths, sparkles may come in handy. Everything will depend on the chosen composition, which is why it is important to choose it in advance.

Do not neglect the important stage of preparing nails for manicure. From how carefully you process the nail plate, how smooth it will be, and accurate nail art will depend. First, prepare a special place at home to translate your ideas. It should ideally be a spacious table where all the necessary elements for creating decor will fit. Pay attention to the light. In the dark or in poor lighting, you will not be able to qualitatively paint all your nails and create the desired decor.

Initially, you should make a steam bath, preferably with an herbal solution. After that, take an orange stick and carefully and slowly move the cuticle away. Cut off the excess skin using special forceps.

Now you can already apply the base coat. He is responsible for adhesion of the colored surface to the nail plate. The better the base, the longer the manicure will last. Choosing the right shade of gel polish, you can gently apply it to your fingers, starting from the middle of the nail and staining the side areas.

Now you should take the nail file and carefully form the shape of the nail plate, filed it from the sides. The almond version should echo the natural lines of the fingers. It is the smooth, rounded edging that gives the hands sophistication. After you have finished shaping your nails, you should take a buff and sand the surface. Do not try too hard and press hard so as not to damage the plate. Do it with light movements.

Each layer should be thoroughly dried in a lamp. Then you can decorate the nails according to the chosen option.If you are a beginner, first choose simple options, gradually moving on to complex elements. Solid almond nails also look good if they are well made. You can start with such a manicure.

Make the nail plate almond-shaped with ease at home. However, if you wore square nails for a long time, then some difficulties may arise. Be patient and have time. Initially, all preparatory procedures are carried out: the fingers are processed, the cuticle is removed, the surface is ground using the necessary tools. After that, we move on to creating the form.

The easiest way is to recreate the amygdala from a square shape. If you have other nails, then simply cut off the edge of the nail plate with pliers. The same can be done with the corners, which are correctly cut not at the root, but slightly departing from the edge.

All four corners that have formed should be rounded with a file. The edge should not be very sharp, but do not make it too oval. Such a nail will also resemble a drop.

After that, you can degrease the nail plate with a special composition and cover it with a base layer. And then, after choosing the right color gel polish, carefully cover the nail plate with it.

Almond shaped nails require careful and gentle care. If you give a big load to the hands, then cracks and chips may appear on the coating. Be sure to use a cuticle moisturizer. So you keep your hands beautiful and attractive.

If white spots appeared on the nail plate or it turned yellow, then you can use lemon. Just cut a slice and rub the juice into the nails and fingertips. After holding the composition for several minutes, it should be washed off. So you can refresh the nail plate and bleach it.

Deburr with sharp tweezers. Before this, you should first steam your hands in water. Perform regular massage with cream for both hands and nails. With it, you can improve metabolism, strengthen nails, give them hardness. If your nail plate has become brittle, it may not have enough vitamin E. Apply it on your nails and hold for a few minutes.

• Thoroughly treat the nails before covering them with gel polish. Sloppy nails, even with creative nail art, will look unaesthetically and unattractive.
• Do not be afraid of bright or dark colors. A contrasting check mark in the entire nail almond plate can visually lengthen it. The same applies to vertical stripes. Experiment with the design and you can choose the best options for yourself for each bow.
• Choose only quality cosmetic products. Do not buy too cheap varnish. It may be substandard and expired. Such options will not help to create a stylish manicure. It’s better to invest a little, but to get a decent product that you will enjoy using for a long time.

• Particular attention is given to the base. This layer is the main long-lasting manicure. It will smooth out possible irregularities, creating an ideal surface for nail art, protect nails from thinning. To assess the quality of the base, see how the coating is removed. If the gel polish breaks off in small pieces, the nails are yellowed - change the base.
• Apply gel polish in a thin layer. For saturated color, you can make several layers, each drying in a lamp.If you immediately make a thick coating, then it will look messy.
• Do not use too much decor. This is especially true of rhinestones, stones. Decorating all your fingers with glitter, you risk looking tasteless. A measure is good in everything - every girl should have such a motto.
• Correction of the nail plate should only be on dry nails. The steamed nail plate may be damaged even when using a fine-grained file.
