Forms of nails - names

No master of manicure and nail extensions will tell you exactly what nail forms are and what their names are, because the nyl-industry is developing at a fast pace. But there are the most popular forms, of which we will talk.

Variety of forms

The basic form of nails is square (rectangular). Here everything is perfectly clear - the free edges of the nail plates are perpendicular to the longitudinal axes. One of the varieties is squaw (squaw-oval), that is, a rectangle with rounded corners. The most successful stylistic solution for this form of nails is a French manicure . If the corners are rounded up even more, we get an oval shape of the nails. Here it is necessary to be extremely accurate. If you overdo it, you get a round shape of the nails, which does not always look attractive, because it shortens the fingers visually.

Something between the oval and the square is the shape of a pipe. Many girls prefer the square-oval form, which is, perhaps, the most beautiful form of nails and looks very elegant and feminine. If the free edge of the plate is made slightly pointed, we get the shape of the nails "almond".

The sharper the free edge, the closer the shape of the nail to the stylet. If the free edge of the nail plate is bent, the "stylet" will turn into a "cat's claw". It should be noted that this form can not be called practical, since "cat's claws" are not distinguished by their strength.

Unbelievably spectacular looking marigolds in the form of "Edge", in which the center is a barely noticeable face. But do not overdo it with length, so as not to bring into the image of vulgar notes. And lovers of shocking will certainly like asymmetric, trapezoid and very long, presented in our gallery.
