The good thing about dark colors is that these shades are more resistant to wear than other colors; they manifest themselves differently at different lengths of nails. You can create an everyday calm manicure on short nails and solemnly bright on long ones.

Extended nails
You can lengthen the nail plate by extension.This is done using acrylic or gel, on forms or tips. The procedure itself does not take very long and is simple in technique. Artificial nails are stronger than natural nails, and thanks to a special coating, the manicure is resistant and durable.

The nail extension technique allows you to quickly create the desired length or repair a broken nail.
Sharp nails have a number of disadvantages. Firstly, this shape is not suitable for every type of hand and shape of the nail bed. Secondly, pointed nails are easily susceptible to deformation during physical work. Third, you will have to give up everyday activities such as putting on tights, opening doors, typing on the keyboard, opening bottles and cans. This is due to the fact that the length and shape of the nails does not allow the hand to be fully used, and the nails themselves will constantly rest against any surfaces and will break if they are moved incorrectly.

Extension features
For the most part, sharp forms are fully extended nails on forms. Tips are not used due to the fact that the "stress" zone - the place where the tips are attached to a natural nail - is not able to withstand the load.
With the help of gel or acrylic powder, the master lays out a layer on the mold, which becomes a new nail, immediately giving it length and silhouette. After polymerization in the lamp, the shape is clamped and an arch is created, which gives the nail its natural curve. Next, a sculpting gel is applied, which is responsible for the thickness and density of the artificial nail. After all these procedures, proceed to the desired design.

Due to the intricacies of the procedure, it is not recommended to perform it at home, in the absence of the necessary experience and skills. Also, not all types of gel and acrylic allow you to tighten the shape.
Design types
- Manicure with red. Preferable to use on long nails or short ones with a soft square shape. An interesting idea is to paint the inside of the free edge of the nail red. A combination of matte dark and red glossy finishes goes well.
