Forms of extended nails

In order for you to find the right shape for you, we have compiled a short guide with descriptions and design ideas that are fashionable in 2018, suitable for a particular shape.

Round shape extended nails

Soft and neat nail shape that is suitable for both natural nails, and for extensions, which will look as natural as possible. Therefore, if you are naturally weak and brittle nails, but you like a feminine and sophisticated manicure - this is your option. Nails round shape also, since they rarely break, chip or cling to clothing (for example, nylon tights).

Square shape for extended nails

A form that has become almost classic for an extended jacket. With other types of nail designs, the square also shows itself with better side giving the hands a well-groomed and neat appearance.

Now on the Instagram network, you may come across photos of the now fashionable modification of a square nail - duck nails (“duck nails”), which looks cute, but extremely ridiculous. Here, as you can see, the edges of the nail gradually expand from the hole, forming a triangle that really looks like a duck's foot. The main advantage of this novelty in the world artificial nails, perhaps, is a large area on which you can place various decor.

stiletto

Long and pointed like the claws of an animal, extended nails “Stiletto” will suit only the most daring and sexy girls who do not hesitate to be the center of attention. Such nails are perfect for an extravagant party or celebration, however, they are difficult to wear in everyday life due to the inconvenience and the possibility of injuring yourself or others.

The now fashionable form of “Stiletto” originated from stiletto nails, which can still be done in the salon, but the new modification, in my opinion, looks more modern and elegant.

almond shape

The slightly pointed free edge of the nail, reminiscent of the shape of an almond, forms one of the classic forms for flawless manicure on extended nails. The nail plate should gradually taper towards the center, without forming sharp corners, as in the shape of a “stiletto”, and have soft, but clear contours. This shape looks natural and elegant, but is not as easy to master as a square, so don't be upset if it comes out uneven the first time. As with other forms, there are a lot of designs for the almond shape of the nail, but a restrained manicure in beige or gray tones, with white, black or gold accents looks especially organic and sophisticated.

Coffin or ballerina nails

Named after the coffin (“coffin” in English coffin) or ballet pointe, the shape of the nails is rapidly gaining popularity among fans of long nails. This tapered shape, almond-shaped but with a square tip, looks great on fingers of any shape and thickness, giving them grace and grooming. The shape of coffin extension nails is perfect for the types of designs that are popular this year: negative space, moon manicure and a variety of French, geometry and minimalism. Various drawings, as well as shells, rhinestones, rivets, beads and other decorations look neat and stylish on such nails.

Acrylic or gel nails?

Many girls who want to build nails are faced with the choice of material for building. Of course, both materials have their advantages and disadvantages, which we will now tell you about:

Advantages of gel nails:

• Nails extended with gel look as natural as possible and do not turn yellow over time;
• When hardened, the gel becomes perfectly smooth and has a natural sheen;
• Durable and comfortable to wear;
• Compatible with extensions on tips and forms;
• Easily removed with acetone-containing substances;
• Gel is a natural polymer that allows our nails to breathe under extensions, and also strengthens them;
• Hypoallergenic.

Disadvantages of gel nails:

• Inability to use a large number decor, since the gel in this case does not fit well and does not harden under the action of a UV lamp;
• Impossibility of repair gel nail, therefore, in the event of a breakdown, re-building is necessary;

Advantages acrylic nails:

• Versatile in decorating, in choosing a color scheme;
• Durability;
• The possibility of repair, and not a complete replacement of the nail, in case of defects;

Disadvantages of acrylic nails:

• Dullness and tendency to yellowing in the case of poor quality material;
• Requires careful grinding and leveling;
• Inability to pass air;

There is no unshakable rule what the shape of the nails should be, as such, because you should start from own nails. If you're not sure which shape is best for you, take a look at your cuticles.

If they are rounded, apparently, the oval shape of the nails is just your option. And by analogy, if your cuticles are more like a square, try to give your nails a square shape.

When building nails, there is not much difference, it all depends on your personal preferences, because, perhaps, classical forms nails will seem boring to you and the manicure master will meet your wishes, creating original and complex forms, the options for which are replenished every year.
