To make oval nails unbanal, you can use different colors of varnishes for the tip, from pastel low-key to the most unexpected and juicy. Various patterns and spangles for nail art are widely used.

The round shape of the nail is considered to be the ideal choice for active girls who prefer short marigolds. The main rule when creating round nails is the same rounding of the free edge.

"Almonds" for real yoke

The almond shape of the nail is quite complicated in execution. Moreover, on natural plates, the shape of the almond nails will almost never be the same.

Independently working with a saw, you can overdo it and make one of the tips shorter or sharper. Although with constant training, you can bring this skill to a professional level.

In general, almond is a beautiful form of nails, allowing you to experiment with the design. But keep in mind that almond nails do not go to every image. Long plates serve as an excellent “canvas” for creating whole pictures on your hands. Therefore, it is a great option for the form of extended nails.

Almond-shaped nails are demanding to respect the width-to-length ratio. If you have a wide plate, do not make the tips too long. Otherwise, your fingers will look heavy and heavy. Not recommended and too pointed elongated tips. It may look ridiculous and ridiculous.

Pointed claws for passionate girls

long stilettos

Acute is a rather beautiful form of nails, resembling cat's claws, but a sharp manicure is not as simple to perform as it might seem at first glance. It is characterized by a sharp edge, at the slightest rounding of which the claws already lose their feature. Forms of accrued nails very often include this option, because on an artificial nail in case of an error it is easier to adjust the correct silhouette. This is the secret how to make the shape of nails perfectly sharp. Natural plates rarely grow the same to the required length. Sharp nail shapes give complete artistic freedom.
