Among all the positive characteristics, many women highlight the negative aspects of such nails. They can break or quickly transform when worn. Also, not everyone succeeds in making such a form correctly the first time.If you are not afraid of possible negative moments, then you should try to implement such a stylish design.

If you have chubby fingers, then you can safely use the almond shape of the nails. They will transform the hands, make them visually thinner. But if you already have thin long fingers, then it is better to choose a different shape of the nail plates, otherwise the hands may seem very long.

This shape is suitable for medium to long nails. However, short fingers can also be gracefully shaped in the shape of an almond. It is best to stick to the medium length of the nail plate. In any case, the oval version is optimal for all women, as well as for ladies who constantly suffer from holds on tights and stockings with sharp manicure options.

This shape is great for romantic dates and for evening bows, as well as for summer manicure. It can be used in a universal dress code, as well as for representatives of different professions. A similar manicure on the hands of young girls and mature ladies will look good. This versatility draws particular attention to the shape of the almond.

To create the perfect manicure, you need to thoroughly prepare for it and purchase all the necessary tools and materials. First of all, you will need a special nail file. With its help, give the nails an almond shape. To do this, the lateral areas of the nail are carefully filed.

You should stock up in advance with the necessary decor elements that you will need to create a design. Purchase thin or thick brushes if you are going to hone your painting skills, stickers, if you are still a beginner specialist in the field of nail service. Rhinestones, broths, sparkles can come in handy. Everything will depend on the chosen composition, which is why it is important to choose it in advance.

Do not neglect the important stage of preparing nails for a manicure. How carefully you process the nail plate, how smooth it will be, and neat nail art will depend. First, prepare a special place at home for the embodiment of your ideas. Ideally, this should be a spacious table where all the necessary elements for creating a decor will fit. Pay attention to the light. In the dark or in poor lighting, you will not be able to paint all your nails with high quality and create the desired decor.

Initially, you should make a steam bath, preferably with an herbal solution. Then take an orange stick and gently and slowly move the cuticle aside. Cut off the excess skin with special tongs.

The base coat can now be applied. It is responsible for the adhesion of the colored surface to the nail plate. The better the base, the longer the manicure will last. Having chosen the desired shade of gel polish, you can gently apply it to your fingers, starting from the middle of the nail and painting over the side areas.

Now you should take a nail file and carefully form the shape of the nail plate, sawing it from the sides. The almond variant should echo the natural lines of the fingers. It is the smooth rounded edging that gives the hands sophistication. After you have finished shaping your nails, you should take a buff and grind the surface. Do not try too hard or press hard to avoid damaging the plate. Do this with light strokes.

Each layer should be thoroughly dried in a lamp. Then you can decorate your nails according to the chosen option.If you are a beginner, choose simple options at first, gradually moving on to complex elements. Solid almond nails also look good if they are properly processed. You can start with this manicure.

You can easily give the nail plate an almond shape at home. However, if you have worn square nails for a long time, then some difficulties may arise. You should stock up on patience and time. Initially, all preparatory procedures are carried out: the fingers are processed, the cuticle is removed, the surface is sanded with the necessary tools. After that, we move on to creating the form.

The easiest way is to recreate the almond shape from the square shape. If you have other nails, then you just need to cut off the edge of the nail plate with nippers. The same can be done with the corners, which are not cut correctly at the root, but slightly stepped back from the edge.

All those four corners that have formed should be rounded off with a file. The edge should not be very sharp, but also do not make it too oval. Such a nail will also resemble a drop.

After that, you can degrease the nail plate with a special compound and cover it with a base layer. And then, having chosen the desired color of gel polish, carefully cover the nail plate with it.

Almond-shaped nails require careful and gentle care. If you put a lot of stress on your hands, then cracks and chips may appear on the coating. Be sure to use a cuticle moisturizer. This will keep your hands beautiful and attractive.

If white spots appear on the nail plate or it turns yellow, then you can use lemon. Simply cut off a wedge and rub the juice into your nails and fingertips. After holding the composition for several minutes, it should be washed off. This will help freshen and whiten the nail plate.

Remove burrs with sharp tweezers. Before that, you should first steam your hands in water. Massage regularly with cream for both hands and nails. With its help, you can improve metabolism, strengthen nails, give them hardness. If your nail plate has become fragile, it may be lacking in vitamin E. Apply it to your nails and hold for a few minutes.

• Treat your nails carefully before applying gel polish. Sloppy nails, even with creative nail art, will look unaesthetic and unattractive.
• Don't be afraid of bright or dark colors. A contrasting tick in the entire nail almond plate can visually lengthen it. The same applies to vertical stripes. Experiment with your designs and you can choose the best options for each bow.
• Choose only high quality beauty products. You should not buy too cheap varnish. It can be of poor quality and expired. Such options will not help create a stylish manicure. Better to spend a little, but get a decent product that you will enjoy using for a long time.

• Special attention is paid to the base. This layer is the main one for long-lasting manicure. It will smooth out possible irregularities, creating an ideal surface for nail art, and protect nails from thinning. To assess the quality of the base, watch how the coating is removed. If the gel polish breaks off in small pieces, the nails turn yellow, change the base.
• Apply a thin layer of gel polish. For a rich color, you can make several layers, each drying in a lamp.If you make a thick coating right away, it will look sloppy.
• Don't use too much decor. This is especially true for rhinestones, stones. By decorating all your fingers with glitter, you run the risk of looking tasteless. Measure is good in everything - every girl should have such a motto.
• Correction of the nail plate should be performed only on dry nails. The steamed nail plate can be damaged even when using a fine-grained file.

The almond shape of the nails allows you to create a delicate manicure. You can use different types of designs on it. Consider various fashionable options.

• Lunar manicure. This technique will look good on nails of this shape. Here you can experiment a little and make not a classic hole, but a geometric shape or with the effect of an overgrown coating. You can even leave the moonlight transparent by decorating it along the line with rhinestones and other decorative elements.

• French manicure. The classic version with a white smile line will look good on almond-shaped nail plates. If you want to add a touch of creativity, then you can embody this line with a drawing or highlight with another texture. You can combine different techniques, use bright colors, add sparkles. These options are perfect for any look.

• Ombre. On such nails, you can successfully use the transitions from one shade to another. The gradient can be done both horizontally and vertically. You can add rhinestones to the composition. Focus on just one finger to make it look stylish and beautiful.

• Aquarium design. If your nails are of impressive length, then this technique can be used. With its help, a 3D effect is achieved. Of course, such a design will require even more time, effort and skill. However, the result is worth it. Here, many layers of gel are used, on each of which some decorative element is drawn. To design such fingers, only extended nails are used, since not every nail plate is capable of withstanding such loads.

• Water-based design. This option is original and quite simple to execute. Even a beginner master will cope with the task at hand. A special container with water is taken, on the surface of which drops of gel varnishes of different shades drip. With the help of a toothpick, an interesting unusual pattern is created on the water surface. Now all that remains is to dip your fingers in turn and transfer the decor to the nail plates. Each layer is polymerized in the lamp. These nails are original and different every time. Do not forget about protecting the cuticle area. First, you should apply a special agent or glue it with tape. This is how you can get a neat manicure.

• Artistic painting. This option is used quite often. You can use gel varnishes, acrylic paints, decorate the nail plate with rhinestones, ribbons and various decorative elements. To implement the technique, you will need brushes of different sizes and different thicknesses. You can also use available tools, such as toothpicks. For those who are not confident in their abilities, it is better to use stencils. By connecting your imagination, you can create floristic motives, draw flowers, butterflies, various ornaments and patterns. The main thing is to choose the right color scheme.

• Rhinestones. This option for decorating nails allows you to set all the accents. On almond-shaped nails, rhinestones should not be placed at the end of the nail plate. It doesn't always look attractive. However, there are exceptions when the entire surface is decorated with stones. With the help of rhinestones, you can select several nails so as not to overload the composition. Then the manicure will look stylish and fashionable.

• Stamping. Stamping will give your almond-shaped nails a creative look. It becomes a real salvation for beginners who want to create masterpieces, but so far have little experience in drawing.It is only important to purchase high-quality elements for the embodiment of technology: a metal plate, varnishes, printing. You can create a variety of designs by fashioning your nails. It attracts many craftsmen with its time saving, simplicity and effective result.

• Sliders. Another way for those who have just started to learn the basics of nail art. In professional stores, you can purchase special sliders - stickers that sometimes look more interesting than gel polish drawings. It is only important to carefully apply them to the nail plate, observing the technique. You can decorate all your nails or highlight a few fingers this way.

• Broken glass effect. This season, this decor is at the top of its popularity. The technique is very easy to perform. One has only to decide on the desired shade. Pieces of foil are applied to the gel polish, which are pre-cut into different geometric shapes. It's no secret that almond nails do not tolerate geometry - stripes, squares.
