Varieties and features of the forms of nails for manicure

The condition of the woman’s hands and the manicure chosen by her not only emphasize the individuality of the created image, but also talk about the internal state of the fairer sex. Starting the procedure for decorating nails, clients of beauty salons tell the master about their individual preferences and wishes regarding the color scheme and form of manicure. The wishes of visitors can sometimes not be realized in connection with the structural features of the hands and fingers, as well as the shape and size of the nail plate. Experienced specialists are obliged to warn the client about the possible consequences of the wrong style or color, and are also obliged to advise on how to get out of this situation.

The correct choice of the shape of the nails for a particular manicure is one of the main tasks of beauty specialists, on which the aesthetic appearance and relevance of the entire image will subsequently depend. Professional masters distinguish several forms of nails for manicure.

• Clear square - the most sought-after view, which is characterized by clear lateral and horizontal lines, as well as sharp corners. The length of the nail is medium, the shape of the hands is elongated, with an extended nail bed. Experts recommend forming this form on a tight and rigid artificial base to prevent twisting and breaking off of sharp corners. A square manicure requires timely and regular correction due to the uneven growth of the horn plate.
• Soft square - An improved square shape, which is suitable for short and medium plates and has a low percentage of deformation of the corner elements.

• Oval square - A compromise type of manicure that visually extends your fingers. The main feature is the rounded edge of the nail plate.
• Oval - A basic variety that repeats the line of the nail plate. It is formed on medium and short nails.

• Round. It is used for a short plate, the length of which is not more than 0.1 cm. Ideally follows the line of a finger and requires regular adjustments.
• Almond-shaped. It is formed only on long fingers with narrow nail plates. An important feature is the absence of sharp parts and the formation of a rounded line from the nail growth point.

• Triangular. Applies only to narrow and long fingers. The manufacturing principle is similar to an almond-shaped manicure, but has an acute angle at the end. This form has a low resistance to mechanical damage and is used on artificial plates.
• "Ballerina" - a new direction in nail design, in which the edges are directed to the center and cut off by a flat horizontal line. This form is subject to mechanical damage and twisting on thin nails.

• Beveled - One of the forms of the square, which has a beveled edge and is suitable for narrow plates. The direction of the beveled edges depends on the designer's thoughts. The main condition is the presence of a rigid nail plate.
• "Stylet" - The original form, which is popular among young clients and has several directions: Gothic, faceted, sword, file. An important feature is the elongated and pointed shape, performed only on an extended basis.

• Pipe - A universal and practical form for which you can use any kind of nail painting. The nail plate is made in the form of an arch with a bend in the center.
• Age - A modern trend in the nail industry, which is made on the basis of French manicure. Specialists cut a square shape and make a sharp wedge on the top. The formed corners can be of different types.

• "Bridget" - A harmonious combination of classical style and paradox. Distinctive features are two faces, three planes and an acute angle. To create a complex form, a specialist must have extensive experience and practical skills.
• "Butterfly" - The original form, which is rarely used for daily use and has an elongated shape with rounded sides of the top. A butterfly manicure is used to create creative stage images.

Experts do not recommend the use of square, triangular and beveled patterns on thin natural nail plates. These forms are only suitable for artificial substrates or natural surfaces on which gel or acrylic has been applied. Special attention should be paid to the new form of nails with the name "manifest". This model resembles a fan or a flared skirt and can have either one level of triangles or several. The Manifa is not intended for everyday use, but is a creative embodiment of fashion trends.

The structure of the nail plates of each person has its own individual characteristics. Sometimes the nails on one arm can be of different shapes, thicknesses and structures, and also have differences in the nail bed and the bend line. These defects become pronounced on long nails. The choice of shape depending on the type of cuticle:

• oval - a universal type for creating all forms of manicure;
• square - the best option for creating a square shape of the nail plate;
• triangular - a type of cuticle for which triangular or pointed nails are suitable.

Specialists distinguish several types of fingers:

• short
• long
• thick ones;
• thin.

For thin and short fingers, it is necessary to give preference to classical forms, it is not recommended to use a square manicure, which will make your hands rough and unaesthetic. Long fingers should be decorated with a square manicure with a rounded edge, which is practical and durable. To lengthen short nail plates, oval shapes should be used. Triangular nails and feline shapes give elegance to thin and long arms, but have low strength. For natural nail plates, experts do not recommend using long nails, but advise you to choose a short or medium length.

If the nails have a small thickness and density, the masters advise to abandon even the average length due to the likelihood of twisting of the free edges, the appearance of chips, cracks and unaesthetic deformation of the manicure. The structure of the hands and nails is the main factor that affects the choice of the form of manicure. Only long fingers with oval nails are universal, on which even the most unusual design decisions harmoniously look.

The color scheme is another informal factor that affects the length of the manicure. For all dark shades, it is necessary to choose short forms, and the jacket is not recommended to be applied on a square surface. Geometric nail painting cannot be applied to the amygdala. Square nails should not be adorned with rhinestones. This form is harmoniously combined with a service jacket. Before you start creating an original manicure, you must definitely consult a specialist who will help you find the right solution. In specialized magazines you can find a large number of photos and practical tips for creating a beautiful and high-quality manicure.

After the final choice of the form of nails, salon workers begin to carry out preparatory work, which consist of several stages:

• softening the surface of the hands with the help of special baths;
• cuticle and burr removal;
• filing the nail plate from the corner to the central part.

Sawing a nail in one direction will prevent delamination of the structure of the stratum corneum. For natural nails, you need to purchase a file of glass or rubber. Thin nail plates are treated with a fine sprayed ceramic tool. The use of a metal nail file can lead to delamination of the plate structure due to an increase in tool temperature during work. The universal working tools, experts consider glass or crystal, which will remove all bumps and stains.

In elite beauty salons use tools with diamond or sapphire spraying. To prevent pathogens of various diseases from reaching the skin surface or wounds, specialists treat the entire instrument with a special solution. To create a square shape, you must have a nail plate length of at least 0.3 cm, which is resistant to mechanical damage. All edges are carefully filed, and the corners are smoothed. To create a holistic image, you need to remove the cuticle directly and focus on the corners. To lengthen short plates, lengthen the free edge.

Creating an almond-shaped form consists of several stages:

• creating a square shape;
• sawing corners to obtain a trapezoid;
• rounding of the top in the form of a circle of almond nuts.

Creating an oval shape involves sawing a nail on each side and rounding the top. The working tool should be at an appropriate angle. A manicure in the form of a stylet is made on the basis of an oval shape with a round edge, which must be gradually narrowed to an acute angle. The edges of the “Ballerina” shape must be filed strictly at an oblique angle, and a horizontal direction is given to the upper edge. Novice masters need to carefully study all the advice of professionals on the correct selection, creation and correction of a beautiful manicure.

If it is impossible to create the desired form on a natural basis experts recommend creating an artificial nail plate, which has a number of advantages:

• obtaining the necessary shape and length in a short period of time;
• lack of an allergic reaction;
• durability;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• high esthetic indicators.

The main disadvantage is regular visits to beauty salons to perform timely correction. To give the necessary forms to artificial nails, masters use special templates made of Teflon, metal or paper. Creating extended nails is carried out by attaching the lower or upper form. Experienced masters of beauty salons should have not only professional skills for the proper selection and creation of the desired shape of nails, but also psychologists. Long studies by specialists in this field have revealed a direct relationship between the shape of the nail and the nature of the person.

The oval shape suits romantic and dreamy clients who have an unstable nervous system and frequent mood swings. For decisive, courageous and focused people, the correct square shape of the nails is suitable. This category of persons has the qualities of a leader who knows how to hide their emotions and feelings. Kind, responsive and open people prefer a rectangular shape. These clients are open to everything new and unusual, they definitely need to offer the latest news and interesting ideas. Round nails are a sign of creativity and creativity, which are constantly striving for communication and give joy to others.

Fashion is a special world that constantly dictates its own rules and trends. Designers and decorators are always in the creative process of searching for new ideas, forms and images. In specialized magazines you can see new trends in the design of nails. Strictly following new trends and directions, we must always maintain our individuality. Experienced specialists will certainly help you need to make a decision that will decorate your hands and help in creating a fashionable image. This procedure should be done only in high-level beauty salons, where experienced specialists work who are responsible for the implementation of the task and take care of the health of their customers. When choosing a new form of nails or an unusual color scheme, you must always remember the feasibility of this innovation, its conformity to the lifestyle, work and general style.
