In the design of manicure, an important place is occupied by the form of nails. Often, girls, trying to create the perfect design on their own, overlook the features of the genetic structure, and focus on the classic image. The result of this approach is usually disastrous. The unsuitable shape of the nail immediately catches your eye and spoils the impression even with a perfect decor.
But this does not mean that you can not get the perfect manicure at home. Just for the best result, you should know some features of the processing of nail plates.
Features of the shape of the nail
The classic and most successful form is considered oval. She perfectly lengthens fingers and emphasizes thin hands. However, by nature this is not given to everyone.
There are other forms:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- trapezoidal.
In each of these options there is an opportunity to choose a suitable design and correctly adjust the existing shape.
The most difficult to process is a trapezoid surface. The nail, narrow at the base and expanding to the tip, does not allow the nail file to give it the desired straight shape. But even in such a situation, there is a way to fix its appearance.
Experts recommend performing the correction constantly, as this will achieve a stable, although not complete, effect.
How to fix at home?
To correct the trapezoidal shape of the nails, it is necessary to exclude too short a surface treatment, and to get rid of the habit of biting the nails, if any. These two factors have a significant effect on the expansion of the plate at the top.
When processing the cuticle, it is also important to push it with a special stick from the top to the base. This will not allow the side rollers to protrude onto the working surface, and will cause the nail to expand a little more in the lower part. The shape will look like a classic oval.
In order for the cuticle to look well-groomed and grow back more slowly, it is necessary to soften it before each procedure. And after processing, it is imperative to moisten the tissues with a nourishing cream. But to narrow the upper borders of the nail, a periodic sawing of its lateral tips is performed. This visually reduces the width of the tip.
Incremental adjustment
A modern and effective way to correct the appearance of the trapezoid is to build.
In salons, it is often recommended to build up plates on the form. But for home use, an acrylic coating is better, since it is easier to perform.
This method has several significant drawbacks, the main of which is thinning of the nail. After regular, albeit competently completed, acrylic coating, the nail becomes thinner over the entire surface. This spoils the appearance of the weakened tips, which, as they grow back, bend down.
Therefore, the most gentle and simple way is the correct processing and selection of decor.
Design Ideas
When the nails are naturally trapezoidal, an ideal option would be a manicure for a short or, in extreme cases, medium length.
Let us dwell on a few ideas that will make life easier for the owners of the "trapezoid".
- The combination of dark and light shades can visually stretch the work surface. A manicure with geometry is best suited for these purposes. A wide straight strip of nail polish, drawn in the middle in a dark tone, will give the impression of a straight nail and hide the expanding side tips.
- An excellent solution would be a manicure in the style of minimalism. Here you can apply a pattern of vertically extending several stripes, which will also set a direct direction to the entire decor.
- Look good on short nails and nude tones. They will create the impression of neatness and grooming. This can be a great solution for workdays, business style.
- The use of bright varnish is also acceptable. But with full coverage of the surface, it is better to choose a varnish with sparkles. This will help not to focus on the form due to overflows.
- Trendy types of design suitable for trapezoidal nails are also moon manicure and jacket. When creating a French-style decor, you should use the classic white tip design. A light shade will obscure the extension at the top of the nail.
