Ideas for a stylish design of extended nails

The manicure of a modern woman can be different. This became especially possible after mastering the methods of nail extension. Having achieved the desired length and shape, the choice of design is often baffling, because in the richest list of proposals it is easy to get confused. Let's see what current solutions the fashion offers in the current season for the design of extended marigolds.

Extension of nails is a procedure that allows you to lengthen the nails and refine the nail bed. This is especially important for nail plates with a form that is far from ideal. Regardless of the type of material used for building, there are opportunities for decorating nails in a variety of manicure techniques.

Extension is carried out using gel or acrylic. In one case - when working with gel - the process requires a special LED lamp, in the other - when working with acrylic - the material dries on its own in a short time. For building, use special paper templates or plastic tips. The upper forms are convenient in that they can increase the length on bitten or too broken off nails. This process takes less time than working with lower forms.

Extension is performed after removing the old coating and preparing the nail plates, because without polishing, the material on its nails will not be able to hold well.Due to the length of the extended nails, the area for the design increases, which means that there are opportunities for choosing a print and various decor, which is impossible to afford on too short and narrow nails.

It is worth considering the fact that the shape of the extended nails will depend not only on the skills of the master. Often it is still subject to the type of blanks or tips used. The templates have a different type of arch, they are designed for a different edge. However, this does not bother professionals who can create the desired shape, having even one set of frameworks in their arsenal.

As for the best form, every woman will have her own. And the point here is not so much in fashion as in the features of their nail plates and their holes. The masters pay attention to this nuance, choosing at the initial stage of building the correct shape for the fingers, hand, as well as the position of the side walls of the plate.

As for fashion trends, fashion has its own options in this regard. She today recommends extended nails to be made under an oval, almond and a soft square. All three forms are considered universal and feminine, which is especially important for the image of a modern woman. They are good for the fair sex of all ages and styles. However, if the soft square looks good on short nail plates, then oval and almond nails need a longer length.

Fashion believes that the excessive length of extended nails looks unnatural, and therefore it invites women to opt for a moderate length. On average, the overgrown edge should not exceed 7 mm. This is enough to fit a special design on the nail, to demonstrate the beauty and uniqueness of the selected texture.

One of the most interesting nail extensions design techniques is the aquarium design. It is created by means of a modeling substance and the decor inside the nails is sealed with it. Such a manicure looks gorgeous and voluminous. Due to the length on such nails, you can perform not only individual sketches, but even entire compositions. Dried flowers, small shells, confetti, slider designs, small insects and even ordinary sand can be sealed inside the structure.

French design will become a stylish option for the design of artificial nails. It can be carried out on the basis of traditional or reverse aqua design. In each case, you can achieve an extraordinary result by changing the width and shape of the smile. It can be a classic arc-shaped, in the form of a wave, a zigzag, a heart, a lightning, two triangles.

As for the reverse jacket, you can create it in different ways. Like the traditional version, it can tend to asymmetry and diagonal lines. You can create it over the main background with special acrylic paints, gel polish and even artistic watercolors. And also an inverted jacket can be created with a regular dot pattern made using dots. You can also create a French design by accentuating the cuticle with rhinestone arches.

One of the most popular manicure options today is the gradient in all its varieties. The smooth transition effect that can be created on extended nails today has 4 varieties. In addition to vertical and horizontal options, today it is fashionable to fit stretch marks inside accent nails.For example, on an accent nail, an ombre can be made in the form of a triangle, circle, oval, rhombus, polygon.

You can run the gradient in two directions. For example, the base can be a regular stretch from the bottom up, and a vertical strip is made on top of it, and a reverse ombre is created on it. If you decorate the top layer with acrylic powder at the same time, you get a voluminous design in the spirit of the latest fashion. If you want something new, you can create a finger-to-finger gradient using related shades of the same color. A design with a multi-colored stretch of shades of the pastel group will also look beautiful.

Combined techniques look beautiful on extended nails. For example, the same jacket goes well with classic monochromatic nails, moon design, gradient, veil, broken glass. As for the classics, it is considered one of the most elegant manicure techniques today. The texture of coatings of the same color can be enriched with various powder materials, rhinestones and patterns.

The veil technique has departed somewhat from its original appearance today. If earlier contour strokes were fundamentally important for her, today drawings and outlines are considered superfluous, because you can decorate a translucent background in a more interesting way. For example, you can draw a geometric figure on this basis, fill it with glitter or acrylic sand. A veil with a gradient effect will also look beautiful, on which you can draw lace, stripes or fix sparkling decor.

Broken glass is remarkable for its unusual effect. This design is often performed on extended nails due to its catchy and novelty. They create a design by cutting and gluing pieces of a manicure film with a different effect (from holography to a mirror) to the nail. Broken glass can become a part of a drawing, a geometric figure, a jacket smile, a butterfly's wing, a flower petal.

Currently, the palette of paints for performing manicure is very diverse in numerous shades of different colors, of which there can be more than a hundred. Each of the color palette groups contains tones that can be used for stylish and modern designs. This is, of course, a delicate pastel, chosen by fashion for the tenderness and harmony of shades. They go well with each other and go well with most elements of women's wardrobe. The best in this group are mint, blue, pink, caramel, turquoise, milky shades.

This season, neutral colors of the palette are in great demand. White, black, gray tones adorn most designs, these pigments are used for decoration and strokes, combining them depending on your preference with gold, bronze or silver.

Dark tones are relevant: marsal, wine, burgundy, emerald, eggplant. Their combination with black contrast is popular. They also look great with nude - such a contrast is considered super popular today.

Among the bright colors, fuchsia, blue and red are worth noting. For autumn design, choose orange, rich yellow and lemon, in winter you need to pay attention to brown and a shade of aqua. Among other colors, neon colors are also in demand, allowing you to create a juicy fruit design. It is a bright raspberry, green-yellow, bright purple, acid orange. Bright and juicy tones of fresh greenery are very popular.

Depending on the width of the nail plates and their length, various decorative elements can be used for the design of extended nails.

The most expensive way to decorate a monochromatic surface of extended marigolds is hand painting. It can be done in different ways (watercolor painting, one stroke technique, painting on a wet basis or using varnishes with a blooming effect). This nail decoration is quite laborious and requires constant training on special training cards, which are used by masters to hone their artistic skills.

A stylish and rather original replacement for hand drawing is a slider design. In fact, these are water-based stickers on a paper backing that are glued directly onto an undried top (base, ultrabond), replacing hand-painted ones.

One of the most popular types of decor is kamifubuki (multi-colored manicure confetti). They can be used over a colored gel polish or gel, and are also relevant in aquarium design. Having the most diverse shapes in the form of hearts, geometric shapes, stars, butterflies, bears, cats and letters, they will not only add a special mood to the design, but also indicate that it belongs to a certain season.

For summer decoration of extended nails, you can use fimo of the most diverse shapes and colors. This decor consists of cut figures from a small stick. Most often these are fruits and berries, which are used to decorate artificial nails after applying a hybrid coating and a sealing layer. The material is not the most practical, but effective and memorable.

It is impossible not to note such a decor tool as rubbing. By its structure, it is light and almost weightless pollen, which is rubbed into the top to change the original texture of the coating. You can apply the powder composition to a painted nail or a transparent coating. The effect in each case will be different, since the veil looks different not only in different shades of the used coatings, but also on different textures.

The material has many varieties, but mirror dust is no longer in vogue today. She was replaced by "mermaid", "northern lights" and "May beetle". The shorter the rubbing time of the powder, the lighter and more weightless its effect.

Foil tape has become one of the fashion novelties. This material is gradually overgrown with its varieties, thanks to which you can decorate the manicure with tear-off foil fragments, imitating gold or silver dust or even marble. In addition, foil tapes can have a wide variety of prints, which will allow you to create with their help manicure for different purposes.

This decor is quite contradictory: someone considers it a relic, someone likes it, others consider it superfluous, preventing the texture from showing itself in all its glory. Fashion considers rhinestones and stones to be an appropriate decor for extended nails.However, she draws attention to the fact that for a stylish effect, these decorative elements need a strict dosage, point placement and detailed consideration of the design composition. They cannot stick around all fingers or even one whole plate. It's ugly, rude and pompous.

The design of the extended marigolds will depend on the purpose and preferences of the woman in clothing. For example, a decor style needs abundant decoration and a choice of bright colors, contrary to all the rules, it must contrast or even compete with clothes. These are necessarily doll-like pink and neon tones, pretty drawings, contrast of matte and glossy textures.

If your nails need to be decorated according to strict dress code rules, you have to rely on modesty and restraint. These are mainly flesh or nude tones, a jacket with a white or pastel smile, geometric prints with an emphasis on laconicism.

One of the most delicate and feminine options are wedding decorations for extended nails. Monograms and lace will become the ideal theme here, which better than other drawings will indicate the peculiarity of the moment. As for the tones, you can choose white mother-of-pearl, bleached mint, pale pink, lilac and delicate blue as the basis. The design itself can be simple, with a single emphasis on the ring finger nail, or more generous in decor.

The bow of a city dweller can convey her preferences not only in clothes. Today, the so-called kawaii theme with its inherent marshmallow is in vogue. The style of an anime girl or Lolita is expressed in the choice of pastel shades of varnish, delicate and pretty designs on accent nails of manicure. It can be either caramel candies or swirling marshmallow sticks, hearts, cats, panda bears, prints of plush toys, polka dots and shiny stripes.

Outrageous individuals can afford creative solutions. Their hands can be decorated not only with bright tones of varnish, but also with an unusual shape of nails. For example, an ultra-fashionable woman can stand out with a manicure with nails-teeth, nails-daggers, swings. Sometimes the form seems to be quite reasonable, but the decor makes you turn around over and over again to understand why his mistress liked it so much. Such girls can glue on their nails a modeling agent in the form of noses with mustaches, faces with hair, pieces of fur, tiny pom-poms, and even LEDs.

Fans of bright looks rarely pass by juicy shades of coatings and catchy decor. Their bow can be decorated, for example, with designs in red and white or red and gold contrast. At the same time, the theme of fashion design can be lace, geometric or romantic. Also in demand are compositions on the theme of the sea coast and glamor. The manicure of such fashionistas can be decorated with accents with gilded crowns, red lips and flirty beauties.

Summer is a great occasion to indulge in designs with floral motifs and all kinds of vegetation. For example, given the relevance of green shades, you can decorate the summer set of an urban fashionista with a design with butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds. It is fashionable to paint dandelions on the nails with umbrellas flying in the wind. Volumetric dandelions, the umbrellas of which can be created with a transparent modeling gel, will also become an original solution.

The boho style in manicure design is gaining popularity. On the extended nails, there is enough space for the location of bright ornaments inherent in this style. Prints are drawn with a thin brush, stamping is used to create them, coloring it, imitating the stained glass effect.

When creating such prints, they take into account the type of jewelry and color schemes of clothes that a woman will wear under such a design. It is fashionable to create a drawing for a specific color of a dress, a pattern of a handbag or a decor of shoes (sandals). Sometimes the craftsmen, at the request of the client, repeat the pattern of earrings or necklaces. Often it is created with simple peas of different colors, which looks quite stylish, fresh and unusual.

Mega-actual logomania. This nail design is chosen by representatives of youth subcultures. The design with the logos of Fashion Houses looks stylish and effective. Sometimes one such sticker is enough for a monochromatic manicure to acquire a high status.
