Varieties and features of nail forms for manicure

The condition of the woman's hands and the manicure chosen by her not only emphasize the individuality of the created image, but also speak about the internal state of the fairer sex. Starting the procedure for decorating nails, clients of beauty salons tell the master about their individual preferences and wishes regarding the color scheme and shape of the manicure. The desires of visitors sometimes cannot be realized due to the peculiarities of the structure of the hands and fingers, as well as the shape and size of the nail plate. Experienced specialists are obliged to warn the client about the possible consequences of an incorrectly chosen style or color, and are also obliged to advise a way out of this situation.

The correct choice of the shape of nails for a particular manicure is one of the main tasks of beauty specialists, on which the aesthetic appearance and relevance of the entire image will subsequently depend. Professional masters distinguish several forms of nails for manicure.

• Clear square - the most popular type, which is characterized by clear lateral and horizontal lines, as well as sharp corners. The length of the nail is medium, the shape of the hands is elongated, with an elongated nail bed. Experts recommend forming this shape on a dense and rigid artificial base to prevent sharp corners from twisting and breaking off. Square manicure requires timely and regular correction due to the uneven growth of the horny plate.
• Soft square - improved square shape, which is suitable for short and medium plates and has a low percentage of deformation of corner elements.

• Oval square - a compromise type of manicure that visually stretches the fingers. The main feature is the rounded edge of the nail plate.
• Oval - the basic variety that follows the line of the nail plate. Formed on medium to short nails.

• Round. It is used for a short plate, the length of which is no more than 0.1 cm. Ideally follows the line of the finger and requires regular adjustments.
• Almond-shaped. It is formed only on long fingers with narrow nail plates. An important feature is the absence of sharp parts and the formation of a rounded line from the point of growth of the nail.

• Triangular. Applies to narrow and long fingers only. The manufacturing principle is similar to an almond-shaped manicure, but has an acute angle at the end. This form has low resistance to mechanical damage and is used on artificial plates.
• "Ballerina" - a new direction in nail design, in which the edges are directed towards the center and cut off with an even horizontal line. This form is susceptible to mechanical damage and twisting on thin nails.

• Beveled - one of the shapes of the square, which has a beveled edge and is suitable for narrow plates. The direction of the beveled edges depends on the design thought of the artist. The main condition is the presence of a rigid nail plate.
• "Stylet" - the original form, which is popular among young clients and has several directions: gothic, faceted, svord, file. An important feature is an elongated and pointed shape, performed only on an extended basis.

• "Pipe" - a versatile and practical form for which you can use any type of nail painting. The nail plate is made in the form of an arch with a bend in the center.
• "Age" - a modern trend in the nail industry, which is made on the basis of French manicure. The specialists will cut the square shape and make a sharp wedge on the top. The formed corners can be of different types.

• "Bridget" - a harmonious combination of classical style and paradox. Distinctive features are two faces, three planes and an acute angle. To create a complex shape, a specialist must have extensive work experience and practical skills.
• "Butterfly" - an original shape that is rarely used for daily use and has an elongated shape with rounded top sides. Butterfly manicure is used to create creative stage images.

Experts do not recommend using square, triangular and beveled patterns on thin natural nail plates. These shapes are only suitable for artificial substrates or natural surfaces to which gel or acrylic has been applied. Special attention should be paid to the new shape of nails with the name "Manifa". This model resembles a fan or a flared skirt and can have either one level of triangles or several. "Manifa" is not intended for everyday use, but is a creative embodiment of fashion trends.

The structure of the nail plates of each person has its own individual characteristics. Sometimes nails on one hand can be of different shapes, thicknesses and structures, as well as have differences in the nail bed and bending lines. These defects become more pronounced on long nails. The choice of shape depending on the type of cuticle:

• oval - a universal type for creating all forms of manicure;
• square - the best option for creating a square shape of the nail plate;
• triangular - a type of cuticle for which triangular or pointed nails are suitable.

Experts distinguish several types of fingers:

• short;
• long;
• thick;
• thin.

For thin and short fingers, it is necessary to give preference to classic forms; it is not recommended to use a square manicure, which will make the hands rough and unaesthetic. Long toes should be decorated with a square manicure with a rounded edge that is practical and durable. To lengthen short nail plates, oval shapes should be used. Triangular nails and cat-like shapes lend grace to thin and long arms, but have low durability. For natural nail plates, experts do not recommend using long nails, but advise you to opt for short or medium lengths.

If the nails are of a small thickness and density, the masters advise to abandon even the average length due to the likelihood of twisting of the free edges, the appearance of chips, cracks and unaesthetic deformation of the manicure. The structure of the hands and nails is the main factor that influences the choice of the form of manicure. Only long fingers with oval nails are universal, on which even the most unusual design solutions look harmonious.

The color scheme is another informal factor that affects the length of the manicure. For all dark shades, it is necessary to choose short forms, and it is not recommended to apply the jacket on a square surface. Geometric nail painting cannot be applied to the almond-shaped surface. Square nails should not be decorated with rhinestones. This form is harmoniously combined with a jacket. Before starting to create an original manicure, it is imperative to consult with a specialist who will certainly help you find the right solution. In specialized magazines, you can find a large number of photographs and practical tips for creating a beautiful and high-quality manicure.

After the final choice of the shape of the nails, salon workers begin to carry out preparatory work, which consist of several stages:

• softening the surface of the hands with the help of special baths;
• cuticle and burr removal;
• filing the nail plate from the corner to the central part.

Sawing the nail in one direction will prevent delamination of the structure of the stratum corneum. For natural nails, you need to purchase a glass or rubber file. Thin nail plates are treated with a fine-dust ceramic instrument. The use of a metal file can lead to delamination of the plate structure due to an increase in the temperature of the tool during work. Experts consider glass or crystal tools to be universal working tools, which will remove all irregularities and stains.

In elite beauty salons, tools with diamond or sapphire are used. To prevent pathogens of various diseases from getting on the surface of the skin or into wounds, specialists treat the entire instrument with a special solution. To create a square shape, it is necessary to have a nail plate length of at least 0.3 cm, which is resistant to mechanical damage. All edges are carefully filed and corners are smoothed. To create a complete image, you need to remove the cuticle directly and focus on the corners. To lengthen short plates, lengthen the free edge.

The creation of an almond shape consists of several stages:

• creating a square shape;
• filing corners to obtain a trapezoid;
• rounding the top in the form of a circle of almonds.

Creating an oval shape involves filing the nail on each side and rounding the top. The working tool must be at an appropriate angle of inclination. A stylet manicure is made on the basis of an oval shape with a round edge, which must be gradually narrowed until an acute angle is obtained. The edges of the "Ballerina" shape must be filed strictly at an oblique angle, and the upper edge is given a horizontal direction. Novice masters need to carefully study all the advice of professionals on the correct choice, creation and correction of a beautiful manicure.

If it is impossible to create the desired shape on a natural basis experts recommend creating an artificial nail plate, which has a number of advantages:

• obtaining the required shape and length in a short period of time;
• lack of an allergic reaction;
• durability;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• high aesthetic performance.

The main disadvantage is regular visits to beauty salons to perform timely correction. To give the necessary shapes to artificial nails, craftsmen use special templates made of teflon, metal or paper. The creation of extended nails is performed by attaching the lower or upper form. Experienced beauty salon masters must have not only professional skills for the correct selection and creation of the desired shape of nails, but also psychologists. Long-term research by specialists in this field has revealed a direct relationship between the shape of the nail and the character of a person.

The oval shape is suitable for romantic and dreamy clients who have an unstable nervous system and frequent mood swings. For decisive, courageous and purposeful people, the correct square shape of nails is suitable. This category of persons has the qualities of a leader who knows how to hide their emotions and feelings. Kind, sympathetic and open-minded people prefer a rectangular shape. These clients are open to everything new and unusual, they must be offered the latest novelties and interesting ideas. Round nails are a sign of creativity and creativity that constantly strive for communication and give joy to those around.

Fashion is a special world that constantly dictates its own rules and trends. Designers and decorators are always in the creative process of searching for new ideas, shapes and images. In specialized magazines, you can see new trends in the design of nails. Unswervingly following new trends and directions, you must always preserve your individuality. Experienced specialists will definitely help you make a decision that will decorate your hands and help you create a fashionable look. This procedure should be done only in high-level beauty salons, where experienced specialists work, who are responsible for the performance of the task and take care of the health of their clients. Choosing a new shape of nails or an unusual color scheme, one must definitely remember about the expediency of this innovation, about its compliance with the way of life, work and general style.
