The soft square is the most stylish nail shape
Any girl dreams of always being beautiful. Therefore, beauty procedures bring not only beauty, but also joy to the fair sex. Manicure is one of the fundamental indicators of grooming for a girl. The theater begins with a hanger, and a manicure begins with the choice of the shape of the nails.
There are several types of nail shapes. Each girl has her own ideal, but at the same time the most comfortable and fashionable forms are the "soft" square and the classic oval. Sometimes difficulties arise with the second option - it is quite difficult to bring the nail to the required shape after a breakdown. Therefore, the "soft" square is the most favorable and advantageous form.
Shape characteristic "soft" square
The “soft” square is a popular nail shape that can be seen on many posters, on TV, and in movies. This option is suitable for both long and short nails. This form provides the ability to create any design and color in any color.
In general, a "soft" square is a square nail shape with slightly rounded edges.
Most girls prefer the "soft" square shape - thus they can boast not only beautiful nails, but also show everyone their determination and persistent character, but at the same time be weak and unprotected. The rounded shape of the nail will tell others that the girl is following fashion trends. The bold design and style will appeal to the opposite sex.And original images that become real with this nail shape will show both your determination and your tenderness. Bright and soft colors can be combined in one manicure design.
It should be noted right away that this form is not suitable for everyone.
If a woman has a naturally thin nail plate or spends a lot of time cleaning, washing, washing by hand, or her profession is associated with a constant susceptibility of nails to brittleness, weakening and destruction, then in this case a "soft" square will not be a favorable option. Also, it will not be possible to boast of such a shape if the woman has a trapezoidal shape of the nail, which expands towards the edge.
Nail length
Nowadays, the length of nails is controlled only by their wearers. Nails can not only be grown naturally or cut, but also grown artificially, give them the desired shape and color, even curled - and all this can be done both in the salon and at home. At the same time, different lengths of nails give their own characteristics to everyday life.
Average length
If you are the owner of healthy and strong nails, then it will not be difficult for you to grow any length, but the average is considered optimal.
With such a length, you can safely do household chores, type on a computer, take various small or flat objects.
The manicure will look beautiful and feel very comfortable.
Short nails
If your nails have a wide nail plate, then this option is for you. In this case, it becomes possible to remain beautiful and fashionable, and it is also very convenient.
You can play instruments, do household chores, and if there is a baby in the house, then you will definitely not hurt him.
Long nails
If the nails are healthy, without pale spots and grow well by nature, then it will not be a problem to grow the length. It should be understood that long nails reduce the convenience of daily activities, and the possibility of breaking off or cracking increases.
To prevent this from happening, nails need to be processed and strengthened with the help of cosmetics.
Fashion ideas
There are many options for designing a "soft" square - it all depends on individual preferences.
Colors
In the cold season, saturated colors are more suitable for manicure. In autumn, it is recommended to decorate nails with shades that are associated with fallen leaves: the color of eggplant, wine or olive. In winter, the following shades look fashionable:
- bilberry;
- Dark red;
- Navy blue;
- dark green.
During the warmer seasons, you should choose brighter and more delicate shades. Classic and neutral colors will suit any time of the year.
In addition, ultraviolet and all its shades are currently in trend. But it is worth starting from your wardrobe - the color of the selected varnish largely depends on the things that will be combined with it.
- French. If you work in an office and are actively involved in business negotiations, then a classic jacket is an integral part of your image. Such a design will not only emphasize your taste, but also allow you to remain self-confident.
- Minimalism. The application technique is very simple - you need to choose the color of the coating and a light design. Minimalism has been in trend for several seasons in a row, acquiring some additional features every year. So, this year the geometric pattern came into vogue.
- Matt. Perfect for a "soft" square. It looks restrained, but at the same time effective. It is a common type of dyeing and always looks fashionable.
- Drawing on one nail. Any prints can be applied to the nail: from a simple flower to characters from sensational films. Often, one accent nail is chosen on each hand, while the rest are styled in the same style.
- Sequins and rhinestones. The most suitable option for a celebration or a date. Looks expensive and festive.
- Stickers and thermal films. Transfer nail tattoos have different densities and designs. They are glued in several ways. They look unusual and beautiful, and you do not need to spend a lot of time and effort on the design. Suitable for both natural and extended nails.
- Rubbing. Easy-to-apply polyester powder that adheres firmly and does no harm. Looks brilliant, creates a mirror effect.
- Confetti. It is ideally combined with dark and light colors, easy to use. Great for daily life.
- Foil, mica, or Yuki flakes. Looks great on both glossy and matte nails. Creates a pattern that shimmers. It is recommended to apply on one or two nails, otherwise it will look pretentious.
- Gradient. A special technique in which one color blends smoothly into another. Thus, you can do without additional design, and the manicure will look interesting and varied. The gradient can be curly or smooth (the color flows from one to another in the chosen direction).
- Broths. Small beads that are laid out in the picture.
- Scotch tape with a stencil. You can create both simple and more complex compositions.
- Piercing. It is carried out by drilling a nail (most often false or extended). Looks attractive, but only popular with young girls.
- Gel nail polish. Looks great on long square nails, complemented by interesting patterns. One of the most affordable options for decorating the nail plate.
- Textile. Lace fabric is most often used to decorate a manicure. But it should be borne in mind that too dense fabric will look tasteless and incomprehensible.
Execution technique
First of all, you need to choose the right tools. To create the desired shape, you need to use a nail file - you need to move it in one direction (otherwise the nail will begin to flake off). The choice of a nail file depends on the properties of the nail plate.
A grainy nail file is suitable for strong nails, and a plastic file for fragile nails.
Before processing the nail, it is necessary to correct the cuticles. For this, hands are dipped into the bath - this helps to soften the skin and remove burrs and cuticles. You can also apply oil to your hands. A straight cut cuticle is best for a "soft" square.
After processing the cuticle, we proceed to the formation of the nail. - file it to the desired length (this must be done in parallel with the growth of the cuticle). When the nails are of the same length, carefully round off the ends with light, gradual movements, but do not overdo it, otherwise we can get an oval shape. Then we treat with protective enamel and moisturize our hands with cream.
Difficulty performing
If decorating and decorating a manicure with your own hands is a rarity for you, then a number of difficulties may arise in the process. Here are some simple tips:
- if the nail has not been processed for a long time, then the side ridges become larger and rougher - in this case, it becomes possible to file them with translational movements down to the free edge;
- if the nail seems too wide and out of proportion, then you can slightly remove the width from the sides;
- there may also be a problem with the skin on the nail, which will not make it possible to process the sides, so we carefully cut it off with forceps.
