Choosing a design for sharp nails

Manicure on sharp nails is extravagant and breathes creativity. Today it can decorate the hands of women of different age groups and styles of clothing. However, the design of such a manicure is quite picky about the choice of decor and has its own nuances in each execution technique. The material of this article will tell you how to choose a design for sharp-shaped nails.

Sharp nails or stilettos are not universal. Outwardly, they are elongated or very long nail plates with a sharp edge. The short form of the stylet differs from the almond by its greater sharpness. In everyday life, such nails are uncomfortable: the sharper and longer they are, the less their strength and the higher the risk of probable injury in case of accidental mechanical touching on something.

Rarely, such a form is made on natural marigolds, since a woman cannot preserve it for a long time. Sharp edges are very quickly injured, and therefore you have to correct them by removing the length, or even completely changing it to a more traditional shape. A distinctive feature of nails of this shape is the fact that they are not suitable for every female hand.

At the same time, the unusual shape is good for wide nail plates, as it helps to lengthen the nails. This form is carried out by building up with gel or acrylate. This technique has its own nuances, and therefore, mainly professionals in the field of nail service can beautifully arrange the edge.Extension is performed using special templates (paper or plastic tips).

It will not work to make stilettos from any ready-made form - this is another of the features of this form. It is created from scratch, laying out the material on a template and forming the necessary bend with tweezers. The technique involves clamping the plate along its entire length, starting from the base and ending with the edge of the nail plate. If an edge is too sharp, it is smoothed, since excessive sharpness causes a quick breakdown of the nail, and this is unprofitable for any master.

Today, stilettos have several varieties, each of which has its own name:

• gothic stiletto;
• faceted;
• sord;
• peak.

The varieties differ in the length and shape of the edge. For example, the Gothic stylet has a shape curved inward and long. The faceted version differs from the classical one by the presence of edges, and the shape in this case can also be variable. It is not easy to do it, because you have to not only build up, but also undermine the symmetrical edges.

Sword breathes creativity, these pointed nails have beveled edges that seem to connect at the bottom. If you look at the nail plate from the side of its upper edge, the shape of the fold will resemble a sharp triangle without a base, but with long edges. The pica is nothing more than ultra-long and especially sharp stilettos. Despite the fact that sharp and long nails look unusual, they are still uncomfortable. Therefore, women of fashion, who do not want to give up creativity in their image, stop at the medium and short length of the stiletto.

Stilettos are picky about the choice of technique, although there are some nuances here. For example, their manicure is often combined and too rarely simple. It often looks colorful, and therefore for the expressiveness of the technique, you have to reduce the number of accents and rely on the uniqueness and nobility of the texture. Sometimes on stilettos they combine not only two, but even three techniques (classics, moon manicure and a jacket).

The ideal technique for the stylet shape, regardless of its varieties, is a French manicure. It opens up a lot of possibilities for combining designs. For example, it is the so-called French smile that can be taken as a basis and performed on it with a gradient in related or contrasting shades. Moreover, today it can be not only vertical and horizontal.

Fashion offers two more solutions: ombre effect in related tones from finger to finger and gradient in the form of a geometric shape. Both options look unusual and impressive. Today, this design is considered trendy. With regards to the gradient in the form of geometry, it is preferable to take a triangle as a basis, which will fit especially well with triangular stilettos. However, it is undesirable to do such a gradient on all ten nails of a manicure, since this will make the accent lose its expressiveness.

There is enough space on the wide smile of the jacket to perform the “veil” technique. In this case, the effect of nylon tights is performed on most of the nail plate, and the remaining space is often decorated with various lace curls. The veiled smile of a jacket can be very diverse, with and without a contour stroke, with a lace pattern or a gradient located in a vertical strip.

Sometimes a jacket on sharp nails is complemented by a design with holes. This combination looks colorful, because in addition to two techniques, it is decorated with numerous decor. If a professional stakes not on an abundance of decor, but on expressiveness, he gets a stylish manicure with two or three accents and a classic design on the rest of the nails. Such a design is more attractive from an aesthetic point of view, moreover, it gives the women's set a high status, rather than the multi-colored variegation on each style.

Styles are the best shape for aquarium design.In this regard, they are unlimited by the flight of creative thought. The decor sealed inside can be very diverse (from dried flowers and slider designs to sifted sand, small seashells and pebbles). Often, such a shape is decorated with pearl beads, fabric, volumetric stucco molding. Sometimes the creativity knows no boundaries at all, due to which you can find stiletto nails with long hair, fur and LEDs in fashion.

Speaking of techniques for sharp nails, one cannot fail to mention the classic manicure. Monochromatic coloring of such a form is rarely characteristic, but if it is performed, they rely either on the uniqueness of the texture in the design, or complement the design with unusual and catchy accents. As a rule, this is characteristic of short nails. They also perform a gradient on them with a smooth stretch of related and contrasting shades.

Today, fashion proposes not to limit oneself in the choice of color solutions for sharp-shaped nails. However, if for shocking personalities it does not matter what others think of them, then adherents of traditional styles in clothes are sure that color matters. And here it has its own characteristics, despite the fact that dark and saturated tones, as well as all shades of green, are super popular today.

The colors of eggplant and marsala are in vogue, bright wine is very popular, lavender, purple, plum tones and all shades of pink are relevant. They can be combined with milky, white, blue, lilac, bronze, light gray and purple. Popular contrasts for sharp nails are combinations of powdery tones with black, white, silver, green. It is fashionable to mix cold blue with silver, lavender, nude. Black and white contrasts with the addition of silver are also relevant.

The best types of material for sharp nails are glossy and matte gel polishes. As for the type of surface, the focus of fashion trends is the play of two textures: matte and gloss. When choosing the type of matte finish, you can pay attention to its textile varieties (velvet, satin, velor and suede). Such coatings look status-like, sometimes pulling out the most laconic solution better than catchy variegation.

In addition, holography and chrome are in fashion, which in no way wants to give up fashionable positions, despite the fact that it was the mirror texture that laid the foundation for all other types of rubbing, through which they create an unusual effect. In addition, the texture of the coating can be flock (felt) and powdery, which is explained by the use of fine-grained acrylic powder. This trend will continue in the next season.

A mega-popular shimmery coating that is created with a pearl veil and hybrid varnishes with mother-of-pearl. Such a manicure on sharp and triangular nails always looks impressive. He is always in the spotlight and gives a lot of opportunities, opening up a number of ideas for the embodiment of the wildest fantasies. It is often decorated with stained glass coverings, giving the design depth and volume.

The decor for stilettos will depend on the design idea. Sometimes it is a laconic smile, sometimes rubbing in, in other cases a shimmer. However, when you want something special, they resort to different tricks. For example, you can decorate a manicure with Yuki flakes, which are more in demand in manicure design than ever. They represent a decor in the form of large snow flakes, very fragile and weightless. Yuki can be not only translucent, of which colored varieties with a holographic effect are especially popular today. In addition, in a line of similar decor, you can pick up chameleon flakes of mica decor, which is a kind of rubbing.

In addition, stilettos can be decorated with rhinestones, inlaid with Swarovski crystals, as well as opals. A very beautiful decor for this form is watercolor painting, in addition to it, you can decorate sharp nails with a slider design, broths, stamping and all kinds of drawings made using stencils. As for aqua design, even insects are used here, as well as dandelion umbrellas, the same Yuuki, LED paints.

Various abstract patterns created by means of water manicure are obtained on such a form mega-beautiful. In addition, stilettos can be decorated with liquid stones, 3D moldings and 3D stickers. Sometimes the uniqueness of the shape of accent nails of a manicure becomes an adornment of the stiletto. For example, they can be bifurcated, in the form of fingers, daggers and even swords.

In the new season, fashion has changed its view of the expressiveness of design. This is expressed, first of all, in the length, due to which the same manicure design can look diametrically opposite.

Long nails can be decorated with tear-off foil and pattern. Today, the trend of using transfer type film foil is gaining great popularity, regardless of the manicure technique. For example, it can be used to decorate a large French smile. So that the design does not look too clumsy, the foil is used in doses, and the smile of accent nails is highlighted with small rhinestones.

Using a beautiful and bright shade, they play on the contrast of textures. For example, you can make a regular jacket with a glossy gel polish on a Gothic stylet, and cover two nails with a matte varnish of an identical color with a velvety texture. This design will look stylish, catchy and elegant.

Space themes are in vogue. You can decorate the smile of a jacket with a space pattern using glossy and shimmery coatings with sparkles. At the same time, if you wish, you can additionally emphasize the base of the smile with a white bow. Alternatively, you can make a space design in monochrome colors, using gel polish with sparkles in the form of stars instead of drawing.

Working with rhinestones, you need to limit yourself in choosing a different decor and focus on the selection of varnish with an expensive texture. It can be magnetic or cat-eye. In this design, according to the latest trends, it is enough to use inlay on only two out of ten nails. You can add a special effect to the coating by using a satin rub.

Short stilettos can be decorated with various powder rubbers and acrylic sand. The use of a mother-of-pearl veil is especially fashionable today; it looks beautiful on a pointed shape, filling a women's set with sophistication and elegance. Here you can create various bright drawings, taking into account the seasonality of the manicure. For example, for summer, it can be floral motifs, plant stems with buds, ethnic ornaments.

The theme of juicy fruits is also popular in summer design, and therefore often short stilettos are decorated with all kinds of fruit compositions. By the way, sometimes fimo is used for this, which, in addition to introducing a special mood into the design, make it voluminous. Autumn design can be decorated with colorful leaves, ears of corn, raindrops, umbrellas. In winter, it is worth painting snow on the stilettos (in the form of powder, snowflakes, frosty patterns). Fresh paint and bird art are welcome in the spring.

One of the best design themes for short stilettos is geometry. It is able to create the visual effect of lengthening the existing shape. The drawing can be done using the moon manicure technique.In addition to triangular holes, it can be all kinds of stripes, rectangles and arrows, as well as zigzag lines and diagonals.

It is fashionable to decorate accents of short stilettos with a polka dot print, a cage, bows, hearts, curls, monograms and lace motifs. Mehendi ornaments and prints created by dots with attachments of different sizes look great at this length. Fans of marshmallow design can afford prints of ice cream, funny cats, sweets on such nails.
