Sharp black nails: fashionable options and original ideas

The first wave of fashion for sharp nails came in the early 2000s. Peaks and stilettos appeared in every fashion magazine, but not everyone could boast of such a manicure - at that time it was only possible to grow your own, natural nails - there was simply no other nail service. Happy owners of strong and healthy nail plates flaunted fashionable shades of varnish, the rest went as long as they could afford.

Things are different today. Thanks to the achievements of modern science, every woman, if desired, can afford nails of any length and shape, whether they be spades, stilettos or ballerina's pointe shoes.

Extension, strengthening of nails with gel - the modern nail service offers a lot of options, and thanks to the gel polish polymerizing in the UV lamp, the manicure will last from two weeks to a month.

You can sharpen the free edge of the nail in different ways. If the nail plate is fragile, brittle or, conversely, soft, it is better to stop at a short length, otherwise even the correction can become traumatic. In addition, consider the following: the sharper the angle you choose, the easier it is to break it.

Pointed nails come in a variety of shapes.

• "Almond" - the most popular because of its versatility. It is not definitely sharp, but at the same time a narrowed shape of the nail. Almonds are completely free of jagged edges, making them incredibly comfortable. Such marigolds look very fashionable and feminine.

• "Pica" - these are the sharpest nails. They look interesting, attractive, but very impractical due to their fragility.

• Long "peaks" - "stilettos" - the most spectacular, but uncomfortable nails. The length is limited only by the imagination of their owners.Often, stilettos have an elaborate design that makes them even more visible.

• "Ballerina pointe shoes" or "ballerina" - a kind of hybrid of square and sharp nails. The narrowing of the free edge ends abruptly and turns into a square sawdust. Today this form is considered one of the most fashionable and difficult to implement.

In addition to these, there are more rare forms of pointed nails.

• Tube - "pipe" - combines a square and almonds. The nails have an arched appearance, sharpening and at the same time being rounded at the free edge at an angle of 45 degrees. They are much stronger than the pike.

• "Edge" - an incredibly difficult to create version of pointed nails, which has a two-sided shape. Despite the considerable length (often almost the same as that of stilettos), the edges are very durable, unbreakable, and look no less impressive.

• "Bridget" - a form that is not enough for any master, perhaps that is why it is so rare. It is two-sided and at the same time three-sided, and all this is on one nail! A manicure of this form looks like a real work of art.

• "Parker" - this is a shape, beveled or cut like a square, but not straight, but at an angle. This is an extremely original form that obliges its owner to be an extraordinary person in everything, and not just in manicure.

• "Blade" - a fantasy form in which the free edge ends in a figurative manner, resembling either a butterfly's wing or a frozen shard of ice. It is extremely rare due to its impracticality.

The design on sharp and long peaks can be anything you like, since modern materials make it possible to embody any client's imagination. One of the most spectacular and dramatic is black lacquer - both glossy and matte.

If earlier any varnish assumed a monochromatic coating or, in extreme cases, sparkles, now it is not at all necessary to do such a banal manicure. Black can be supplemented with geometric patterns, holes can be made, a jacket can be laid out, and a charcoal shade can be used both for a “smile” and for the main tone.

In the case when you do not want your hands to be conspicuous, you should choose a beige or powdery pink varnish.

Tones such as black, red, as well as any other rich shades and the so-called colors of precious stones oblige their owners to take care of their hands, pamper them with creams, masks, and wear gloves for any homework.

Black is the color that goes well with any design. Rhinestones - large or small (or both) - yes, broths - yes, gold and silver - of course, monograms - excellent, sliders or stamping - of course.

Pointed nails can be relatively short or infinitely long. Of course, the longer the length of the free edge of the nail, the more difficult it is to learn how to handle it in everyday life - to do routine household chores. However, this does not stop determined women who want to wear such a manicure.

As a rule, the master warns that stilettos (it does not matter, their own or extended) react poorly to any type of load. A nail can break even when looking for a wallet in a handbag, and how many thin stockings can suffer from rush, it is not even worth mentioning. Therefore, most often this shape and length is chosen by ladies who are not burdened with everyday issues, who are not constrained in their means and who allow themselves to skimp on such prosaic things as cooking and washing dishes.
