Stylish nail design in the shape of a peak and the technique of their creation
Not everyone likes long, sharp nails. Someone prefers short rounded ones, playing with color and design; some people like the timeless classic - French manicure. However, there are girls who can and want to have a dizzying length of nails, giving them the shape of a stiletto or spike.
Peculiarities
This is a very extravagant manicure, especially if it has a complex design. It is very important not to "be too clever" with decorating nails, otherwise the originality will turn into vulgarity and vulgarity. Since the style itself is a design element, it is better not to overload it with an abundance of details. If you want to make a complex decor, it is more advisable to make it an accent on one nail, leaving the rest solid. Then both the shape and the length will be emphasized in the best way.
One of the varieties of the "stylet" is the "pike". This is the most sharpened form, it can be performed on both relatively short and long nails. Due to its sharpness, the "peak" can in no way be attributed to a practical form. However, its spectacular appearance cannot be denied.
Short "peaks" can be made on natural nails, and long ones (more than 0.8-1 cm) will require building with gel or acrylic. This is to minimize the risk of nail breakage. The "stylet" shape (and the "peak" shape as well) is characterized by the ability to break at the root, which is both unaesthetic and very painful. Gel or acrylic strengthens the nail plate, making it less vulnerable to adhesion and mechanical damage.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to wear this shape of nails carefully, since any traumatic effect on them can become fatal. In addition, the nail itself can also cause damage: items of clothing, things, people.Mothers of babies and women, whose work involves close contact with children, should opt for a different form of sawdust of the nail plate, since the delicate skin of a child is easily injured even by a short "lance".
Choosing "lance" as an option for nail design, you should take into account the requirements of the organization in which you work. Many companies clearly prescribe a dress code, which indicates both the shape and color of the manicure. If in your office there are no such requirements, you can safely wear “stilettos”.
"Spades" are very suitable for girls with short wide nails, as they visually stretch their fingers and make their hands more graceful. But for the lucky ones with long and thin fingers, it is better to choose a different shape, since the “spikes” can turn the handles into “rakes”.
If your toes are short and dense, a soft square or almond will do instead of a “peak”. Each of these shapes will visually stretch your fingers and make your nails look beautiful. However, if your pen is small and chubby, then stilettos (short) may be very suitable.
Subtleties of execution
Choosing "peaks" for the design of a manicure, it is better to entrust this work to a nail service master who has sufficient experience and qualifications, since this form of sawdust is difficult to execute and requires certain skills. Natural nails should be filed only with glass or ceramic files, metal will injure them. The sawdust is made exclusively in one direction, there is no need to saw back and forth, since the free edge is already fragile enough due to its sharpness, it can delaminate.
When forming a "peak", the free edge is filed in such a way that the corners remain sharp. It is not necessary to smooth them, this is the peculiarity of this form. In order to saw off the "lance", the length of the free edge should not be less than 6-8 mm.
Design
For peak nails, any design used for the rest of the shapes will work.
- French due to the original sawdust will look more extravagant, but at the same time classic.
- The monochromatic finish will make your hands look attractive.
- "Lunar" manicure can be performed in bright colors as well as in neutral ones. Maybe, in general, only the hole can be covered, and the nail itself is left "naked".
- Geometry looks very actual on the "peaks", it is better to use beige and black, emphasizing them with thin stripes of sparkles.
- Modeling and complex aquarium patterns are not very fashionable now, but "broken glass" and "dragon scales" are quite.
- The combination of glossy and matte finishes does not lose its sharpness, as does the gradient. The latter can be combined with a "cat's eye", geometry, rhinestones and stones.
- The casting technique and liquid stones can be very effective to accentuate the spade shape, but should not be used for all ten fingers. It is better to highlight one nail, so this type of design will look even more interesting.
