Manicure on long nails is a complex of manipulations and procedures that give the nails the desired look. It is always done the same way. Work is completed by applying colored varnish and a fixative.
Execution scheme
In general, manicure on long nails, medium or short, is done according to one scheme. First of all, we remove the old varnish and give the plates a shape with a nail file, focusing on their appearance. As a result, the tips of the nails should be symmetrical, and their length should be the same.
Now itβs the turn for a warm bath, preferably with sea salt. Remember how good your nails are after relaxing at sea. Therefore, regularly arrange such a holiday for them at home. For an added effect, add a drop of essential oil. And to moisturize and soften the cuticle, pour in shower gel or liquid soap. If you do manicure on long nails, then salt and essential oils are required, on short and medium - depending on their strength.
After a 5-minute wait, check with a wooden stick if the cuticle moves away. Act carefully. Cut off coarse skin with nail clippers. Try not to do it in one motion, so as not to capture more than necessary. If your skin does not coarsen, then you do not need to trim anything - just push the remnants of the cuticle off and remove from the nail. If necessary, use a remover (liquid for
unedged manicure). Then we wipe our fingers with a napkin and lightly grind it with a special gentle nail file, which removes only the natural shine of the plate. We need a slightly dull surface. We have finished the preparatory work, proceed to the design.
Black manicure
First of all, we protect the nails with a base coat. It will not allow the main varnish to harm them. Yes, and any colored cosmetic product will then lie more evenly. Next, apply black varnish. It is better if the nails are painted in two layers. The color will look more saturated, and the plate will become glossy and shiny.
Black varnish is interesting for its versatility and expressiveness. Especially effective if you have a dark bracelet or patent leather strap. It is believed that
black manicure on long nails will not add to the image of aggressiveness if you give the plates a rounded shape.
Color
To choose one, even a bright color of nails, means to subordinate your wardrobe to him for the next week.
A colorful manicure will help out. For example, one nail is painted blue, the other is turquoise, and the companion for them will be white. It is necessary to alternate according to the scheme: 2 (goals) + 2 (bir.) +1 (bel.). Or 2 + 1 + 2, 1 + 2 + 2 - for three colors of varnish and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1, 2 + 1 + 1 + 1, 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - for two. We combine similar or contrasting tones. If you take five colors, then you will have to choose a palette, of course, more carefully.
French at home
The French manicure on long nails is optimal in its classic version: a pink nail and a white line of a smile. The main difficulty is to draw an even and maximally natural edge. Need stencil strips. We apply the base, then pink or beige varnish, and after complete drying we glue the strips, leaving the overgrown tip free. By stencils, white varnish is applied easily and clearly, but you can do without them.
This season, the jacket, made the other way around, is very popular. You have to act as follows: apply white polish from the edge to the center of the nail, stopping approximately at the smile line. After drying, gently erase the excess with a wide brush, dipping it in the nail polish remover. Then cover the nail with a fixative. This is enough, but you can paint the rest of the nail with pink varnish, strictly from the border of the white edge. And only then apply the fixing layer. You can do manicure on long nails with this technique not only in white and pink. If the dress code of your company is not so strict, then combine varnishes of your favorite shades depending on the main gamut of the wardrobe.
