Neat well-groomed hands with a stylish nail design is the dream of any woman who takes care of herself. Once, beauties had to allocate time, agree in advance with the master and even take time off from work to get into the manicure room and restore beauty. Today there are plenty of products for nail art on sale, many educational institutions prepare masters, and the Internet is full of master classes. It would seem that there are some pluses to this situation! After all, anyone can learn to care for their hands.
But the coin also has a downside. Not everyone is able to make high-quality hygienic preparation and carry out decorative work.
Our article will tell you about unsuccessful manicure, help you analyze the most common mistakes and tell you how to avoid them.
90s fashion
Many people remember that at the end of the last century, the extension and catchy nail design came into fashion. Stucco molding, an abundance of rhinestones, an elongated shape, bright colors - this was what many dreamed of in those years. Well, those who could afford such splendor, as they say, took their souls to the fullest.
Let's remember one important axiom: the 90s are over. The fashion for an active nail design with them has sunk into oblivion. Today, such decor is inappropriate even in a rural disco.
It is not worth tedding the past, but because of the massive relief elements, predatory shape, long length, an abundance of shining decor, it is better to refuse. The trend is naturalness, accuracy and naturalness.
Errors with the form
Very often the main reason for unsuccessful manicure is the form. Always strive to give all nails the same shape. If one nail is broken - cut the rest.
A rectangular shape is very suitable for many. Today, such nails are in fashion. An oval is a win-win option - it suits almost everyone.
Long nails are not considered bad taste, but to design them beautifully is much more difficult. Doubt your own strengths - give preference to medium or short length.
Masters with good experience and theoretical knowledge often manage to create a beautiful shape with pointed tips. But for beginners, such nails often turn out predatory and vulgar. Not having enough practice is better not to take risks. The trapezoidal scapulae extended to the ends always look unaesthetic.
As you can see in the illustration, nails of various shapes and lengths are another excellent example of unsuccessful manicure. On the hands with barbs and a groomed cuticle, this looks especially messy.
Expensive rich
Rhinestones look exquisite only if several rules are observed:
- stones should be of high quality, even (preferably choose glass);
- there should not be much rhinestone and other decor;
- Do not use too large elements, small ones look more elegant;
- accuracy is the key to a good result.
The rule “the more the better” doesn’t exactly work here! Overloaded with rhinestones, an unsuccessful manicure looks went cheap.
A trend is not always beautiful
Some fashion publications assure that the "dough" nails and fur decor have become fashionable. To believe them is everyone's personal business. But in pursuit of the trend, one must not forget about aesthetics. Perhaps in the rays of spotlights on some show, this will look organic. But is it worth shocking others with such dubious beauty?
Gel layers
Mentioning the nail-bubbles, it is worth focusing on the next moment. It happens that there was no purpose to create “bubble” nails, but the lack of experience affected the result. If the gel polish deforms during baking, leaves inflows, and the nails become like bloated bubbles, you should remove the bad layer and redo the manicure. It might be worth practicing with gel polish. An unsuccessful manicure can happen if you master materials from a new manufacturer for you or use an unusual lamp for yourself. The result should look neat.
Too thick a layer of baked gel not only spoils the whole look, but is also uncomfortable to wear.
The main mistake is sloppiness
Traces of varnish on the skin of a finger, a dry cuticle, poorly sealed ends, uneven lines - all these are signs of an unsuccessful manicure. Do not get upset: you need to remove all materials, carry out the proper hygiene procedures, degrease the nails, walk through them with a buff and try to make up again. In practice, you can analyze your mistakes, fill your hand. Each time, the result will be better.
Stars surprise
Ugly nails are not only those who have come to an inexperienced master or who are trying to independently understand the basics of nail art. Oddly enough, celebrities also sometimes shock fans with horrible hands.
Speaking about the unsuccessful manicure of the stars, one can mention not only the shocking Britney Spears. Kelly Osbourne seems to have inherited from her father not only a surname, but also a certain freakishness.
Paparazzi have repeatedly caught the beauty of Paris Hilton with broken off nails and peeling varnish. Carmen Electra also got into the lenses with a manicure more reminiscent of the claws of a predatory beast. Well, teachers of nail art often use photos of Lady Gaga with massive stucco molding, talking about how not to do it.
Way to success
How to avoid mistakes? Be inspired by the beautiful works of good masters, develop accuracy, start simple. Always be mindful of relevance; avoid excessiveness. Do not be afraid of mistakes, because they help to increase the level of skill.
