Manicure for long square nails
Fashion is known to be fleeting and merciless. Not many directions of nail art can remain in trend for several seasons in a row. The sad fate and the square shape of the nails did not bypass their attention.
Its popularity is inevitably declining, but next season there is still room for options for such a design.
Peculiarities
This type of tip design finds its admirers due to its versatility and ease of creation. The square looks great at any length, matches any decor and style of clothing. And most importantly, it is easy to give the nails a square shape even at home.
But there are cases when such a manicure is categorically not recommended to do:
- if the girl has thin fingers (the square will visually make them even thinner);
- if the phalanges are short and full (he will also emphasize this shape even more).
If these problems do not exist, then all that remains is to decide on the shape of the corners and design. The fact is that a square manicure has two varieties: strict and soft options for decorating the corners.
The classic shape assumes sharp corners. It looks very impressive on long nails, but in everyday life, the pointed tips quickly get damaged when doing everyday work. Therefore, most of the girls prefer rounded corners. Aside from being comfortable, they also look great at any length.
To create such a manicure, the nail is first given the shape of a square, making vertical cuts on the sides and horizontal cuts at the tip. It should be noted that the file is moved only in one direction - then the shape of the end will be perfectly flat. At the end of the procedure, the corners are slightly rounded.
It is important not to overdo it here, otherwise the square will not be traced.
Decor techniques
Most nail art options will look equally good on long square nails as well as short ones.
And here, first of all, I would like to note the jacket. This versatile style will be appropriate both in the spring-summer time and in the cold autumn-winter period. The classic type with a white tip can be decorated with rhinestones or sequins. Drawings also look good on a square shape. A more modern option would be a French twist, which goes well with this shape.
In accordance with the fashion trends of the season, do not forget about the moon manicure. A varied palette of colors suitable for its design opens up ample opportunities for those who like to experiment. I would like to separately note the bright, colorful colors of the orange and blue palettes, which can bring summer brightness and perkiness to the image.
Such tones look most impressive at long lengths.
For long square nails, such trendy techniques will also be an excellent option:
- ombre;
- cat's eye;
- geometry;
- minimalism;
- openwork decor.
A lively, vibrant and warm ombre version is obtained using pastel shades of green, yellow and blue. When performing this technique, it must be remembered that contrasting combinations are considered the most fashionable this season.
To complement a business look, the most appropriate style is geometry, with which you can emphasize the square shape of the nails. The severity of such a decor can be softened with a light base, on which the geometry will stand out brighter.
Minimalism can also be attributed to everyday manicure. However, some of its varieties are universal and are used for evening bows. This option will be just a lifesaver for business women. In addition, if there is a long work surface, minimalism can be complemented by moon manicure or French-style decor.
Square shaped fishnet nails can also be a versatile style. It all depends on the contrast of the colors used and the design. If one or two nails are painted with a pattern in pastel colors, and the rest will have a discreet monochromatic coating, then this is definitely a daytime option. For clubs or late cocktails, albeit with business partners, a brighter and more expressive design is needed. It's great if the bow allows you to use juicy summer shades, as they will immediately attract attention and cheer everyone up, including their owner.
Combination of styles
One of the most recommended options by experts is a floral aquarium decor. It goes well with square nails and looks unusual. The highlight of this manicure is the three-dimensionality of the volume. One gets the impression that the drawing is visible through the water column.
Another great combination that is popular with fashionistas is the ombre, decorated with an unfinished frame in a contrasting color. The framing favorably accentuates the square tip and comes in many variations. The most popular color frames are silver and gold. They are almost universal, can be combined with a variety of colors and fit any look.
Manicure trends for long square nails include wire decor. This trend has gained popularity relatively recently. Its relevance is explained by the ability to create a unique design on your own. To do this, it is enough to bend a thin wire into several curls or a small figure, for example. profile of the animal, and secure with clear varnish in several places on the basis of any color. For such a creative, this form is ideal.
Whichever design is used, long square nails will look unique among the general trends of rounded tips anyway.
