Trapezoidal shape of nails: features and options for manicure design

In the design of manicure, an important place is occupied by the shape of the nails. Often, girls, striving to create the perfect design on their own, lose sight of the peculiarities of the genetic structure, and are guided by the classic image. The result of this approach is usually disastrous. The unsuitable shape of the nail immediately catches the eye and spoils the impression even with the perfect decor.

But this does not mean that you cannot get the perfect manicure at home. Just for the best result, it is worth knowing some of the features of the processing of nail plates.

The classic and most successful shape is considered to be oval. It perfectly lengthens the fingers and emphasizes thin arms. However, by nature, this is not given to everyone.

There are other forms as well:

• round;
• square;
• rectangular;
• trapezoidal.

In each of these options, it is possible to choose the appropriate design and correctly adjust the existing shape.

The most difficult to process is the trapezoidal surface. The nail, narrow at the base and widening towards the tip, does not allow the file to give it the desired straight shape. But even in such a situation, there is a way to correct its appearance.

To correct the trapezoidal shape of nails, it is necessary to exclude too short surface treatment, and get rid of the habit of biting nails, if any. These two factors have a significant effect on the expansion of the plate at the top.

In order for the cuticle to look well-groomed and grow more slowly, it is necessary to soften it before each procedure. And after processing, be sure to moisturize the tissues with a nourishing cream. But in order to narrow the upper borders of the nail, periodic filing of its lateral tips is performed. This visually reduces the width of the tip.

A modern and effective way to correct the appearance of a trapezoid is building.

This method has several significant disadvantages, the main one being thinning of the nail. After a regular, albeit competently executed, acrylic coating, the nail becomes thinner over the entire surface. This deteriorates the appearance of the weakened ends, which, as they grow, bend downward.

Therefore, the most gentle and simple way is the correct processing and selection of decor.

When nails are naturally trapezoidal, a short or medium length manicure is ideal.

Let's dwell on a few ideas that will make life easier for the owners of the "trapezium".

• The combination of dark and light shades can visually stretch the work surface. A manicure with geometry is best suited for these purposes. A wide, straight line of nail polish, drawn in the middle in a dark tone, will give the impression of a straight nail and hide the flared side tips.
• An excellent solution would be a minimalist manicure. Here you can apply a pattern of several vertically running stripes, which will also set a direct direction for the entire decor.
• Look good on short nails and nude tones. They will create the impression of neatness and tidiness. This can be a great solution for everyday work, business style.
• The use of bright varnish is also acceptable. But when the surface is completely covered, it is better to choose a varnish with glitter. This will help not focus on the form due to overflows.
• Fashionable designs suitable for trapezoidal nails are also moon manicure and a jacket. When creating a decor in the French style, it is worth using the classic white tip design. The lighter shade will hide the expansion at the top of the nail.
