When you need a good manicure, especially for a long dress on the floor, it is best to do modeling. It is also called nail extension. It so happened that nail lengthening was invented before gel polish. At first they were really only built up, but over time it became possible to use it to strengthen and slightly lengthen the free edge.
Shape and length in 2018
Currently, making a beautiful nail extension is not a problem. Compared with the last decade, the principles for constructing artificial nails have changed. Now a competent extension must take into account all the control points for their beautiful shape. The materials have also changed, it is already possible to build up and wear without detachments. This leads to the fact that more and more women opt for modeling.
A positive consequence of extension is the correction of the nail plate, the increase in the nail bed and the formation of a beautiful natural transverse arch. The fact is that extension materials have a rigid structure that allows wearing extreme lengths.
Unfortunately, even the most beautiful nail extension needs correction due to their constant growth. Periodically, you have to cut down the length and straighten the architecture of the artificial nail. It seems rational to build up the average length, then a couple of corrections and overgrowth or gel polish on short nails.
Imitation of ornamental stones, malachite and marble
Modern designs look very impressive on long lengths. Many nail art techniques require nail extensions. Beautiful designs that have recently won the love of many women are imitation marble. It is absolutely not necessary to copy natural marble, although it is unusually effective. Using marble technique, you can imitate ornamental stones - jasper, malachite, charoite, rhodonite, obsidian and others.
Bracelets and rings with natural stones look good with such nails. Nails fit into the ensemble, becoming decorations themselves. To perform such designs, gel polishes of different colors, the drop-in-drop technique and stretch marks with drawings with a thin liner are used. To add depth, you can perform this design in conjunction with the cat's eye technique or stained glass gel.
Interesting textures on long nails
Knitted nails remain relevant in 2018, but now they imitate velveteen. Although in winter, thick beautiful patterns, as if they came off a grandmother's sweater, can come in handy. The "furry" coating that appeared did not gain popularity, although by the New Year someone can pay tribute to the dog and make it on one finger.
Broken glass and cat's eye are still in fashion. Appearedneat "shards", with which the effect of broken glass is not as rough as before. It is fashionable to mix two colors in this design - for example, blue and green.
Beautiful nail extension with rhinestones can be done by decorating the design with magnetic polish with artificial stones. For "cats" a magnet with a very narrow resolution is produced, forming a thin strip. Looks completely new. The effect of a rose buried in a nail is a new word in design. It is made using a magnet, pulling rose petals from a thin strip. Strain is placed in the middle.
Imitation of reptile skin can be used in 2018 as a background for monograms or filling the free edge in a French manicure. Velvet and matte nails also do not lose their relevance.
Kamifubuki
Beautiful nail extension can be done in the style of kamifubuki. In Japanese, “confetti” is kamifubuki, and they began to call this design. Although it can be done on any background, the best for it is a deep dark color - blue or even black. In this case, a real salute is obtained, flickering in the night sky. Very festive and fun.
Making such a design is simple: special sequins are applied to the prepared nail, painted in two layers with dark gel. The set can contain round, triangular confetti or in the form of hearts, stars, stripes or rhombuses. Available in three different sizes of sequins. According to the color scheme, you can choose kamifubuki for anymood.
This coating is made on a non-polymerized gel, which is then placed in a lamp together with sequins embedded in it. Then you should cover the design with a top.
Doggy on the nail
Beautiful nail extension for the New Year can be done by placing a cheerful dog on one or more nails. On sale there are a variety of stickers with dogs of all breeds, on a sheet with them there are both small and large pictures. So if you wish, you can design all the nails with dogs. But it will look rustic and a little childish. It is much more interesting to perform the author's painting of one nail. The technique of drawing a dog is simple, a practicing nail master can handle it.
The photo shows a drawing of a Yorkshire terrier, faithfully looking at his mistress. As you can see, it goes well with rhinestones and sparkles. Moreover, it is customary to decorate such dogs. Look at her stylish collar!
When the clock strikes twelve
The picture of a clock with hands approaching twelve is a win-win design. You can perform a beautiful nail extension if the natural nails are very small. According to the rule of modeling the nail plate, the free edge cannot be larger than the nail plate. The nails will turn out to be short, but due to the fact that there will be little material, they will not acquire significant thickness and will look like natural ones.
The clock design is a godsend forsuch nails. It is good even with natural nails, because the clock is round or square. To beat short nails in this way is both witty and topical.
Stylish nude variations
At a reception where a dress code is required, sometimes you need long nails without frills. How to decorate them without breaking the rules? Of course, someone will advise a banal jacket, but there is another way to beautifully build gel nails. The main thing is to choose the right tone. If the extension is made with a camouflage gel, it will be exactly the color of a he althy nail plate, which is considered a classic. It is acceptable to decorate one finger (usually the ring finger) with Swarovski crystals or cover it with silver gel polish.
Instead of the camouflage gel, you can take nude shades - the color of genuine leather is beige. These tones will suit any dress and are the standard of taste - even to the queen at the reception.
Self nail extension
There are materials for nail masters in free sale. You can buy a set for nail extension with gel or acrylic, called the starter. Often such kits have a training disc showing how to use the molds, gel and UV lamp. Some girls, inspired by the success in applying gel polish at home, decide to purchase a nail extension kit. Unfortunately, nails cannot be built up without special training, not all materials are suitable for pressing arches, not everyone is able to wear them without detachments. There are still many materials of the previous generation,which often make up the contents of such sets.
Even professionals do not always agree to work with them because of problems with subsequent wear. And what about newbies! If you want to learn how to build, it is better to invest in a good school. There, instructors will put their hands on, conduct a material science course and teach you how to make a correction - this is a special operation, not like a primary extension.
But if you have a desire, you need to go and study. Moreover, it is useful in life. The main thing is to choose a modern school, and not repeat the mistakes of previous generations, when the industry was still developing. Dare, and you will succeed!
