Nails "stilettos": execution technique and interesting design ideas

Nail-stilettos that come into fashion, then rapidly lose relevance. Pointed shape requires the owner to wear a proper and appropriate style in clothes.

Ten years ago, long stilettos were fashionable, now girls who choose this form to design the free edge of the nail, often stop at short stilettos.

To grow and wear natural nails of this form is quite problematic.therefore, stilettos are increasing - both with gel and acrylic. It is important to remember that the extension should be made only on a healthy, smooth nail without any defects. And this should be done only by a high-class nail service master with sufficient practice and skills.

Nail service experts distinguish several varieties of nail-stylets.

• "Pick" - perhaps the most famous form. It is the most pointed of all, so it is perfect for owners of wide nails who want to make them more elegant. It should be noted, however, that the “spikes” are very capricious in their socks and break easily.
• Faceted stilettos - the most difficult form to perform. Each face is ground in such a way as to be symmetrical to the rest. This form is very difficult to build up and, as a rule, it takes a lot of time.
• "Gothic" - less sharp than the "peak", but more symmetrical and elegant. Also complex in execution, however, looks very elegant.
• "Sword" - The intermediate form between “gothic” and “pike” is also very elegant.

Like any other form, nail-stylet has its advantages.

• This form of sawdust free edge immediately draws attention to the hands. Therefore, those women who want to show their hands in a favorable light, stilettos very suitable.
• "Peaks" and "swords" always look unusual, unbanal. They are chosen by women who do not like boredom and monotony.
• The huge choice of designs due to the rather long (even short “peak”) free edge will also appeal to women who like to change manicures often.
• Ideal for wide nails, visually "stretch" them and make it more elegant.

In addition to these advantages, stilettos have a number of disadvantages.

• Do not fit ladies who do not know how to wear long nails. Because of the pointed edges, the “spikes” cling to clothes, tights, hair and jewelry, and it is inconvenient to carry out routine household chores with them.
• This form of the free edge is very traumatic for the nail, as a rule, if it breaks, then “under the root”. The stiletto stress zone is located directly at the beginning of the free edge, which means that if the hall goes on the nail as a result of hooking something hard or traumatic bending of the nail plate, the breakdown will occur “with meat”. It looks unaesthetic and feels extremely painful.
• Definitely not suitable for lovers of manicure classics, who probably will find this form of vulgar and screaming.
• Girls with long fingers or deformed phalanges should choose a different form of sawdust, as the stilettos will attract attention to handicaps.
• Young mummies, as well as women working with children (kindergartens, primary schools) need to be very careful to consider a similar form for themselves, since the sharp edges of the nails can easily injure the delicate skin of the child. It is better to choose something safer, for example, a soft square or a so-fashionable almond.

For nail stylets, the same design options are applicable as for the other forms of the free edge. Monochrome coating - glossy or matte, two-color combination or rub-in - everything will look great. Classic French manicure will look fresh due to the unusual form of sawdust, especially if it is “gothic” or “faceted” stylet.

Complex designs - with elements of modeling, casting, "liquid stones" - can also be performed on this form, however, the number of elements should not be abused. It is better to single out one or two nails in this way, leaving the others monotonous. The abundance of details can “kill” the style of the stylets, making it vulgar and alyapista.

Original look on the monogram stylets or geometry, made in beige and black design with small patches of glitter: gold, silver or iridescent. Even minimalist fans can safely wear “swords” or “gothic” - it’s enough to try one of the most trending today “manicure without a manicure”, “bare” nail with one design element, and a non-contrast, nude scale.

Another of the trends launched by bloggers in the current season is a “moon” manicure, in which only the hole is varnished, and the transparent base and top are applied to the rest of the nail plate. This option may look rather unusual on nail stylets without making them too catchy, however, of course, drawing attention to hands.

Regarding the color scheme, the stilettos are universal - any seasonal colors, whether it is wine or pumpkin yellow autumn or neon-pink and cornflower summer, will look good on them. It also does not matter the saturation of the tone - a pale blue or mint is not less effective on the "peaks" than Marsala or chocolate.

Once again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that only a nail service master can correctly nail up nails in the form of stilettos from gel or acrylic. You should not do this at home, without having the knowledge and practice. In addition, it is undesirable to contact the masters, in whose professional skills you doubt.

Since stilettos are a rather long form of sawdust, you need to carefully approach the choice of materials. for building and decorating nails. In search of cheaper services, you can not only “get rid” of poor-quality manicure (this is the lesser of evils), but also get serious diseases of the nail plates and subsequently treat them for a long time.

Step-by-step nail extension in the form of "stiletto" includes the following steps.

• You must perform a regular manicure (trim or hardware).
• On each of the fingers is fixed a special pattern of paper.
• On the entire surface of the natural nail plate is applied the so-called primer, adhering acrylic or gel to the nail.
• After drying in the lamp on the nails spread the desired shape and length. This happens with the help of acrylic or gel.
• When the nails are "laid out" and thoroughly dried, paper templates are removed and proceed to grinding. On each finger, the free edge of the nail plate should have the same shape and length.
• Perform the desired design.
