Not succumbing to the trends of changeable fashion, many girls always prefer to grow or build up long nails. This gives a certain advantage: you can realize almost any fantasy in manicure and look very feminine. The matte surface of the nail is now in trend. It looks unusual and modern. How to apply a matte manicure for long and sharp nails?

For long, pointed nails, just about any color works. It is important to know one thing: the lighter the shade of the varnish, the longer the nails will look. So dark colors will look advantageous and appropriate. Wine, Marsala and dark blue colors are especially relevant this season.

Of course, everything depends on the occasion for which beauty will be induced. Then, in choosing a color, you need to focus, first of all, on the wardrobe items selected for a specific occasion. It is best to choose shades that contrast with a dress or other outfit. Then nails with a perfect manicure will look especially good and harmonious.

Black and white manicure is also relevant now. It will be combined with almost any other color, and in a matte version it will look amazing at all. The combination of gray and white is no less interesting, it will also suit any outfits and accessories, but it will look a little softer.

Traditionally sharp and long nails look especially feminine. We offer several creative solutions using matt varnish.

• Monochrome matte finish. It is quite easy to choose a color - you just have to take into account your own taste and outfit. Brown and burgundy tones look great for everyday style, and bright festive shades will successfully decorate rest and parties.
• Alternating colors on the nails. This can be done in any order and sequence, again a matter of taste. Often they combine two colors that are close in tone, for example, dark green and light green.

• Various geometric patterns. Matte geometry looks especially impressive on long nail plates, where there is room for drawing. Shiny elements can also be included in strict lines. They will even highlight the difference in textures.
• Matte polka dot manicure. This color looks very nice with contrasting varnish colors.
• All nails are matte, and the ring finger is decorated with a pattern or sticker. Such a manicure looks, on the one hand, soft and unobtrusive, and on the other hand, has its own flavor.

• Matte gradient. A smooth transition from dark to light tone will look especially good on long and sharp nails, since it will be as smooth as possible due to the length of the nail plate.
• Shiny pattern on top of matte finish. Drawn lace, cobwebs, the contours of plant leaves on a matte surface look very impressive. This kind of backing brings out the pattern well, shading it.

Currently, various additional elements in manicure are very popular: rhinestones, sequins, crystals, plastic figures, sequins, powders, etc. Such decor on a matte surface will look very impressive. You can use the following ideas and guidelines.

1. Rhinestones. Without them, there is nothing in a festive manicure, but in everyday life well-groomed long and sharp nails will look great with such shiny elements, if you do not overdo it. Usually they do not decorate all the nails in a row, but only decorate one or two nails. Then the overall look will not become overloaded and will be stylish and modern.
2. Glitter and powder. These decorations will very well emphasize the matte texture, as they will play in contrast. You should also limit yourself to fewer nails with decorations than with a simple coating, then everything will look harmonious.
3. Plastic elements. Various flowers, circles, squares and even animals in the form of small plastic figures that are attached to the nail plate are in fashion now. On matte long nails, this decoration will be quite appropriate.
