Manicure options for short, sharp nails

Modern manicure is not only the good old classics in the form of a jacket or moon manicure, but also stylish solutions, bold color combinations, as well as the existence of different forms of the nail plate itself.

Pointed nails are still in demand. Ladies can build up artificial long pointed nails or leave their own and experiment with the length.

It is worth noting that now the trend is not the spiky shape of the plate with very sharp edges., and slightly pointed nails of a neat shape. Therefore, such a manicure can be worn in everyday life, and used as an evening one.

It is quite simple to give a pointed shape to your nail yourself. However, for this you have to be patient and purchase a hard file for processing the plate.

To get the shape you want, you first need to find the center point at the edge of the nail. Further, from this point on the sides in both directions, you need to start cutting the nail plate with smooth movements, moving towards the center. Gradually, the nail will begin to acquire a pointed appearance.

If initially the nails are short, then it is worth growing them to make it easier to give the desired shape.

One of the more popular designs on pointed nails is the classic French manicure. It can be done at home as well.

This requires:

• make a hand bath to treat each nail, removing the regrown cuticle;
• apply a base coat to the nail plate;
• separate the edge of the plate (the "smile" line) with a stencil from the main part and cover with white varnish;
• then you need to remove the sticker and dry your nails in a lamp (if gel polish is used);
• after the edge has dried, the remaining part must be covered with a base coat - glossy or matte - and dried in a lamp;
• at the end of the manicure, it is worth applying a transparent top to extend the life of the coating.

Almost any design can be applied to the pointed shape. However, it is worth distinguishing between the everyday manicure style and the evening look.
