Black extended nails: design technique and design options

Black manicure is no longer read gloomy or “vampiric”. Fashion trends dictate new textures and designs that make it modern and luxurious. The finish can be matte, glossy, with the effect of velor and broken glass. Abundantly used patterns, decorative rhinestones and kamifubuki.

What are the forms of nails.

• Square - classic short or medium length form. It happens with sharp and soft corners. For black manicure it is better to choose a short length.

• Oval - characterized by soft rounding of the edges of the nail and medium length. Comfortable to wear.

• Almond - This is an elongated oval with softer outlines. Perfect for dark manicures.

• Stylet - the longest nails and at the same time sharp. The length of the free edge is equal to the length of the nail plate.

• Peak - It is a pointed and thin stylet. The length when building can sometimes reach 7 cm or more, providing a large space for artistic painting.

• Beveled - This form in everyday life is inconvenient due to its non-standard appearance and sharp corners. Used in various nail art contests.

New styles of forms of nails:

• bridget - represents a stylet with a narrowed square;
• pipe - a rectangular shape of the nail with an almond-shaped tip;
• Edge - stylet in the form of a narrowed square with one face.

Lengthen the nail plate can be done by extension.Do this with acrylic or gel, on molds or tips. The procedure itself does not take much time and is simple in technique. Artificial nails are stronger than natural ones, and thanks to the special coating, the manicure is resistant and durable.

Sharp nails have a number of disadvantages. Firstly, this form is not suitable for every type of hand and the shape of the nail bed. Secondly, pointed nails are easily prone to deformation during physical work. Thirdly, you have to abandon everyday activities, such as putting on tights, opening doors, typing on the keyboard, opening bottles and cans. This is due to the fact that the length and shape of the nails does not allow the arm to be fully engaged, and the nails themselves will constantly abut against any surfaces and will break if not moved correctly.

For the most part, acute forms are fully extended nails on the forms. Tips are not used because the “stress” zone - the place where the tips is attached to a natural nail - is not able to withstand the load.

Using a gel or acrylic powder on the form, the master spreads a layer, which becomes a new nail, giving it at once its length and silhouette. After polymerization in the lamp, the shape is clamped and an arch is created that gives the nail its natural bend. Next, a sculpted gel is applied, which is responsible for the thickness and density of the artificial nail. After all these procedures, proceed to the desired design.

• Manicure with red. It is preferable to use on long or short nails with a soft square shape. An interesting idea is to stain the inner surface of the free edge of the nail in red. The combination of matte dark and glossy red is well combined.

• Option with white color. Universal design of manicure, suitable for any style, including business. To dilute monochrome, glitter, rhinestones, decals, and painting are used. Black-and-white stripes imitate the skin of a zebra or snow leopard. To perform geometric patterns, masters use vertical and horizontal directions, circles. Such elements are created on several fingers, for example, index or ring fingers.

The spectacular design uses a matte black finish and gold patterns or rhinestones, shiny stripes. You can decorate the “smile” of the nail with sparkles or make a gold coating and a black pattern.
