Any girl wants to always be beautiful. Therefore, representatives of the fair sex beauty procedures bring not only beauty, but also joy. Manicure is one of the fundamental indicators of grooming for a girl. The theater begins with a hanger, and manicure - with the choice of the shape of the nails.
There are several types of forms of nails. Each girl has her own ideal, but the most comfortable and fashionable are the “soft” square and the classic oval. With the second option, sometimes difficulties arise - the nail after breakage is quite difficult to bring to the desired shape. Therefore, the “soft” square is the most favorable and advantageous form.
Soft square shape characteristic
The soft square is a popular nail shape that can be seen on a variety of posters, on television and in the movies. This option is suitable for both long and short nails. This form provides the ability to create any design and coloring in any color.
In general, a “soft” square is a shape of nails in the form of a square in which the edges are slightly rounded.
Most girls prefer the soft square shape - in this way they can boast not only beautiful nails, but also show everyone their determination and strong character, but at the same time be weak and unprotected. The rounded shape of the nail will tell others that the girl follows fashion trends. Bold design and style will attract the opposite sex.And the original images that become real with this particular shape of the nail will show both your determination and your tenderness. In one manicure design, you can combine bright and soft colors.
It is worth noting immediately that this form is not suitable for everyone.
If a woman by nature has a thin nail plate or she spends a lot of time cleaning, washing, washing by hand, or her profession is associated with the constant exposure of brittle nails to fragility, weakening and destruction, then in this case a “soft” square will not be a favorable option. Also, you will not be able to boast of such a shape if a woman has a trapezoidal shape of the nail, which expands to the edge.
Nail Length
Nowadays, the length of nails is controlled only by their carriers. Nails can not only be grown naturally or cut, but also artificially grown, given the necessary shape and color, even made curled - and all this can be done both in the salon and at home. At the same time, different lengths of nails give everyday life their own characteristics.
Average length
If you are the owner of healthy and strong nails, then it will not be difficult for you to grow any length, but the average is considered optimal.
With this length, you can safely do household chores, print on a computer, take various small or flat objects.
The manicure will look beautiful and at the same time feel very comfortable.
Short nails
If your nails are with a wide nail plate, then this option is for you. In this case, it becomes possible to remain beautiful and fashionable, and it is also very convenient.
You can play instruments, do household chores, and if there is a baby in the house, then you definitely will not hurt him.
Long nails
If the nails are healthy, without pale spots and naturally grow well, then it will not be a problem to increase the length. It should be understood that long nails reduce the convenience of everyday activities, the likelihood of breaking off or cracking also increases.
To prevent this from happening, the nails need to be processed and strengthened with cosmetics.
Fashion ideas
There are many design options for the “soft” square - it all depends on individual preferences.
Colors
In the cold season, saturated colors are more suitable for manicure. In autumn, it is recommended to decorate nails with shades that are associated with fallen foliage: the color of eggplant, wine or olive. In winter, such shades look fashionable:
- bilberry;
- Dark red;
- Navy blue;
- dark green.
During the warm seasons, you should choose brighter and more delicate shades. Classic and neutral colors are suitable at any time of the year.
In addition, ultraviolet and all its shades are currently in trend. But it is worth starting from your wardrobe - the color of the chosen varnish largely depends on the things that will be combined with it.
- French. If you work in the office and actively participate in business negotiations, then the classic jacket is an integral part of your image. Such a design will not only emphasize your taste, but also allow you to remain confident in yourself.
- Minimalism. The application technique is very simple - you need to choose the color of the coating and lightweight design. Minimalism has been trending for several consecutive seasons, each year acquiring some additional features. So, this year a geometric pattern has come into fashion.
- Matt Great for a soft square. It looks restrained, but at the same time spectacular. It is a common type of staining and always looks fashionable.
- Drawing on one nail. Any prints can be applied to the nail: from a simple flower to characters of sensational films. Often, one accent nail is chosen on each hand, while the rest are made in the same style.
- Sequins and rhinestones. The most suitable option for a celebration or date. It looks expensive and festive.
- Stickers and thermal film. Transfer nails tattoos have different densities and diverse designs. They are glued in several ways. They look unusual and beautiful, but you don’t need to spend a lot of time and effort on the design. Suitable for both natural and extended nails.
- Rubbing. The polyester powder, which is easy to apply, holds firmly and does no harm. It looks brilliant, creates a mirror effect.
- Confetti. It is ideally combined with dark and light colors, easy to use. Great for everyday life.
- Foil, mica or flakes Yuki. Looks great on both glossy and matte nails. Creates a pattern that shimmers. It is recommended to apply on one or two nails, otherwise it will look pretentious.
- Gradient. A special technique in which one color smoothly transforms into another. Thus, you can do without additional design, and manicure will look interesting and varied. The gradient can be curly or smooth (the color flows from one to another in the selected direction).
- Bouillon Small beads that are laid out in the picture.
- Adhesive tape with a stencil. You can create both a simple and more complex composition.
- Piercing. It is carried out by drilling a nail (most often false or extended). It looks attractive, but is popular only with young girls.
- Gel manicure. Looks great on long square nails, complemented by interesting patterns. One of the most affordable options for decorating the nail plate.
- The cloth. To decorate a manicure, lace fabric is most often used. But it should be borne in mind that too dense fabric will look tasteless and incomprehensible.
Execution technique
First of all, you need to choose the right tools. To create the desired shape, you need to use a nail file - you need to move it in one direction (otherwise the nail will begin to exfoliate). The choice of the nail file depends on the properties of the nail plate.
For strong nails, a grainy nail file is suitable, and for fragile nails - a plastic one.
Before processing the nail, it is necessary to correct the cuticles. To do this, hands fall into the bath - this helps soften the skin and remove burrs and cuticles. Also, hands can be treated with oil. A cut cropped cuticle is best suited for a “soft” square.
After processing the cuticle, we proceed to the formation of the nail - file it to the desired length (this must be done parallel to the growth of the cuticle). When the nails are the same length, gently round the ends with light gradual movements, but do not overdo it, otherwise we can get an oval shape. Then we process it with protective enamel and moisturize the hands with cream.
Difficulty in doing
If decorating and decorating a manicure with your own hands is a rarity for you, then in the process a number of difficulties can arise. Here are some simple tips:
- if the nail has not been treated for a long time, then the side rollers become larger and rougher - in this case, it becomes possible to file them with forward movements down to the free edge;
- if the nail seems too wide and not proportional, then you can slightly remove the width from the sides;
- There may also be a problem with the skin on the nail, which will not allow you to process the sides, so carefully cut it with forceps.
