Ideas for a stylish design of extended nails

The manicure of a modern woman can be different. This was especially possible after the development of nail extension methods. Having achieved the desired length and shape, often the choice of design is perplexing, because it is easy to get confused in the rich list of offers. Let's see what actual solutions the mod offers in the current season for the design of extended marigolds.

Nail extension - a procedure that allows you to lengthen your nails and ennoble the nail bed. This is especially important for nail plates with a form that is far from ideal. Regardless of the type of material used for building, opportunities for nail decoration in a variety of manicure techniques open up.

Perform building by gel or acrylic. In one case - when working with gel - the process requires a special LED lamp, in the other - when working with acrylic - the material dries on its own in a short time. For building use special paper templates or plastic tips. The upper forms are convenient in that they can increase the length on bitten or too broken nails. This process takes less time than working with lower forms.

The extension is performed after removal of the old coating and preparation of the nail plates, since without polishing the material on its nails will not be able to hold well.Due to the length of the extended nails, the area under the design increases, which means that there are opportunities for choosing a print and various decor that cannot be afford on too short and narrow nails.

It is worth considering the fact that the shape of the extended nails will depend not only on the skills of the master. Often, it still obeys the type of blanks or tips used. Templates have a different type of arch; they are designed for a different edge. However, this does not bother professionals who can create the desired shape, having in their arsenal even one set of frames.

As for the best form, then each woman will have her own. And the point here is not so much in fashion as in the features of their nail plates and their holes. This nuance is drawn to the attention of the master, choosing at the initial stage of building the correct shape for the fingers, hand, and also the position of the side walls of the plate.

As for fashion trends, fashion has its own options in this regard. Today she recommends to build up her nails with an oval, almond and soft square. All three forms are considered universal and feminine, which is especially important for the image of a modern woman. They are good for women of different ages and styles. However, if a soft square looks good on short nail plates, then oval and almond nails need a longer length.

Fashion believes that the excess length of the extended nails looks unnatural, and therefore it offers women to choose a moderate length. On average, the overgrown edge should not exceed 7 mm. This is enough to fit a special design on the nail, to demonstrate the beauty and uniqueness of the selected texture.

One of the most interesting extension nail design techniques is the aquarium design. It is created by means of a modeling substance and they also seal the decor inside the nails. This manicure looks chic and voluminous. Due to the length on such nails, it is possible to perform not only individual sketches, but even whole compositions. Sealing inside the structure can be dried flowers, small shells, confetti, slider design, small insects and even ordinary sand.

A stylish design option for artificial nails will be the French design. It can be performed on the basis of aqua-design of a traditional or reverse technique. In each case, you can achieve an extraordinary result by changing the width and shape of the smile. It can be a classic arcuate, in the form of a wave, zigzag, heart, lightning, two triangles.

As for the reverse jacket, you can create it in various ways. Like the traditional version, it can tend to asymmetry and diagonal lines. You can create it on top of the main background with special acrylic paints, gel polish and even artistic watercolor. As well as an inverted service jacket, you can create an ordinary dot pattern made using the dots. You can create a French design by accenting the cuticle with arches made of rhinestones.

One of the most popular manicure options today is the gradient in all its varieties. The effect of a smooth transition, which can be created on extended nails, today has 4 varieties. In addition to vertical and horizontal options, today it is fashionable to fit a stretch inside accent nails.For example, on an accent nail, the ombre can be made in the form of a triangle, circle, oval, rhombus, polygon.

You can perform a gradient in two directions. For example, the base can be a regular stretch from the bottom up, and a vertical strip is performed over it and an inverse ombre is created on it. If at the same time decorate the top layer with acrylic powder, you get a voluminous design in the spirit of the latest fashion. If you want novelty, you can perform a finger-to-finger gradient using related shades of the same color. A design with a multi-colored stretch of pastel shades will also look beautiful.

Combined techniques look beautiful on extended nails. For example, the same jacket goes well with classic plain nails, moon design, gradient, veil, broken glass. As for the classics, it is considered one of the most elegant manicure techniques to date. The texture of the coatings of the same color can be ennobled with various powder materials, rhinestones and patterns.

Voile technique today has somewhat departed from its original form. If earlier the contour stroke was fundamentally important for her, today drawings and contours are considered superfluous, because you can decorate a translucent background in a more interesting way. For example, you can depict on this basis a geometric figure, fill it with glitter or acrylic sand. And also a veil with a gradient effect will look beautiful, on which you can draw lace, stripes or fix a sparkling decor.

“Broken glass” is notable for an unusual effect. Such a design is often performed on extended nails due to its catchiness and novelty. Create the design by cutting and gluing on the nail pieces of manicure film with a different effect (from holography to the mirror). “Broken glass” can become part of the picture, a geometric figure, a smile in a jacket, a butterfly wing, a flower petal.

Currently, the palette of paints for manicure is very diverse in numerous shades of different colors, which can be more than a hundred. In each of the groups of the color palette there are tones that can be used for stylish and modern design. This, of course, is a gentle pastel, chosen by fashion for its tenderness and harmony of colors. They combine perfectly with each other and are suitable for most elements of a women's wardrobe. The best in this group are mint, blue, pink, caramel, turquoise, milky shades.

This season, the neutral colors of the palette are in great demand. White, black, gray tones adorn most designs, these pigments are used for decoration and stroke, combining them, depending on preferences, with gold, bronze or silver.

Dark tones are relevant: Marsala, wine, burgundy, emerald, eggplant. Their combination with black contrast is popular. They also look great with nude - today such a contrast is considered overpopular.

Among the bright colors it is worth noting fuchsia, blue and red. For autumn design, choose orange, saturated yellow and lemon, in winter you need to pay attention to the brown color and the shade of the sea wave. Among other colors, neon colors are also in demand, allowing you to create a juicy fruit design. It is bright raspberries, green-yellow, bright purple, acid-orange. Bright and juicy tones of fresh greens are very popular.

Depending on the width of the nail plates and their lengths, various decorative elements can be used to design extended nails.

The most expensive way to decorate the plain surface of the extended nails is hand-painted. It can be done in different ways (by watercolor painting, the technique of a single brushstroke, the method of drawing on a wet basis, or by using varnishes with a flowering effect). This decoration of nails is quite laborious and requires constant training on special training cards, which are used by masters to hone their artistic skills.

A stylish and rather original replacement for hand drawing is a slider design. In fact, these are water stickers on a paper substrate, which are glued directly to an un-dried top (base, ultra-bond), replacing them with hand-painted.

One of the most popular types of decor are kamifubuki (multi-colored confetti for manicure). They can be used on top of color gel polish or gel, they are also relevant in the aquarium design. Having the most diverse shape in the form of hearts, geometric shapes, stars, butterflies, bears, cats and letters, they will not only bring a special mood to the design, but also indicate its belonging to a certain time of the year.

For summer decoration of extended nails, you can use fimo of the most diverse shapes and colors. This decor consists of sliced ​​figures from a small stick. Most often these are fruits and berries that adorn artificial nails after applying a hybrid coating and a sealing layer. The material is not the most practical, but spectacular and memorable.

It should be noted such a decoration tool as a rub. In its structure, it is light and almost weightless pollen, which is rubbed into the top to change the initial texture of the coating. You can apply the powder composition on a painted nail or a transparent coating. The effect in each case will be different, because the veil looks different not only in different shades of the coatings used, but also on different textures.

The material has many varieties, but mirror dust is no longer in vogue today. She was replaced by "mermaid", "northern lights" and "May beetle." The shorter the rubbing time of the powder, the lighter and weightier its effect.

One of the fashion novelties is tape foil. This material gradually overgrows with its varieties, so you can decorate manicure with tear-off fragments of foil, imitating gold or silver dust or even marble. In addition, foil tapes can have the most diverse print, which will allow you to create with their help manicure for various purposes.

This decor is quite controversial: someone considers it a relic, someone likes it, others consider it superfluous, preventing the texture from showing itself in all its glory. Fashion considers rhinestones and stones as the appropriate decor for extended nails.However, she draws attention to the fact that for a stylish effect, these decorative elements need a strict dosage, precise placement and detailed consideration of the design composition. They cannot stick to all fingers or even one whole plate. It is ugly, rude and pompous.

The design of extended marigolds will depend on the destination and preferences of the woman in clothes. For example, the decor style needs abundant decoration and the choice of bright colors, contrary to all the rules, it should contrast or even compete with clothing. These are necessarily puppet pink and neon tones, pretty drawings, contrast matte and glossy textures.

If you need to design your nails taking into account the strict rules of the dress code, you have to rely on modesty and restraint. These are mainly corporal or nude tones, a jacket with a white or pastel smile, geometric prints with an emphasis on conciseness.

One of the most delicate and feminine options are wedding decorations of extended nails. Here, monograms and lace will become the ideal theme, which, better than other drawings, will indicate the peculiarity of the moment. As for the tones, you can choose white pearl, bleached mint, pale pink, lilac and delicate blue as the basis. The design itself can be simple, with one emphasis on the ring finger nail or more generous in decor.

A city dweller's bow can convey her preferences not only in clothes. Today, the so-called kawaii theme with its inherent marshmallow is in fashion. The style of an anime girl or Lolita is expressed in the choice of pastel shades of varnish, delicate and pretty drawings on accent nails of manicure. It can be either caramel candies or swirling marshmallows, hearts, seals, panda bears, prints of plush toys, polka dots and shiny stripes.

Outrageous personalities can afford creative solutions. Their hands can be decorated not only with bright tones of varnish, but also with an unusual shape of nails. For example, ultramodice can stand out with a manicure with nails, teeth, nails, daggers, swings. Sometimes the form seems to be quite reasonable, but the decor makes you turn around time after time to understand what his mistress liked him so much. Such girls can glue on their nails a modeling tool in the form of noses with a mustache, faces with hair, pieces of fur, tiny pompons and even LEDs.

Fans of bright images rarely pass by the rich shades of coatings and catchy decor. Their bow can adorn, for example, a design in red-white or red-gold contrast. At the same time, the theme of fashionable design can be lace, geometric or romantic. Also, compositions on the theme of the sea coast and glamor are in demand. The manicure of such fashionistas can be decorated with accents with gilded crowns, red lips and flirty beauties.

Summer is a great occasion to please yourself with a design with floral motifs and all kinds of vegetation. For example, given the relevance of green shades, you can decorate the summer set of an urban fashionista with a design with butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs. It is fashionable to draw dandelions on your nails with umbrellas flying in the wind. Volumetric dandelions, whose umbrellas can be created with a transparent modeling gel, will also become an original solution.

Boho style in manicure design is gaining popularity. On the extended nails there is enough space for the arrangement of bright ornaments inherent in this style. Prints are drawn with a thin brush, stamping is used to create them, painting it, simulating a stained glass effect.

Creating such prints, they take into account the type of jewelry and color schemes of clothes that a woman will wear under such a design. It is fashionable to create a pattern for the specific color of the dress, the pattern of the handbag or the decor of shoes (sandals). Sometimes masters, even at the client’s request, repeat the pattern of earrings or a necklace. Often it is created with simple peas of different colors, which looks pretty stylish, fresh and unusual.
