Neat well-groomed hands with a stylish nail design are the dream of any woman who takes care of herself. Once upon a time, beauties had to set aside time, negotiate with the master in advance and even take time off from work in order to get to the manicure room and restore beauty. Today, there are plenty of goods for nail art on sale, many educational institutions train masters, and the Internet is full of master classes. It would seem that this situation has some advantages! After all, anyone can learn how to care for their hands.
But the medal has a downside. Not everyone can do high-quality hygiene preparation and decorative work.
Our article will tell you about a bad manicure, help you analyze the most common mistakes and tell you how to avoid them.
90s Fashion
Many remember that at the end of the last century, extensions and eye-catching nail designs came into fashion. Stucco molding, an abundance of rhinestones, an elongated shape, bright colors - many dreamed about this in those years. Well, those who could afford such magnificence, as they say, took the soul to its fullest.
Let's remember one important axiom: the 90s are over. The fashion for active nail design has sunk into oblivion with them. Today a similardecor is out of place even in a rural disco.
You should not stir up the past, and therefore it is better to refuse massive relief elements, a predatory shape, great length, an abundance of shining decor. The trend is naturalness, accuracy and naturalness.
Shape errors
Very often the main reason for an unsuccessful manicure is the form. Always strive to give all nails the same shape. If one nail is broken, cut the rest as well.
Many are very suitable rectangular shape. Today, such nails are in fashion. An oval can be called a win-win option - it suits almost everyone.
Long nails are not considered bad taste, but making them beautiful is much more difficult. Doubt your own abilities - give preference to medium or short length.
Craftsmen with good experience and theoretical knowledge often manage to create a beautiful shape with pointed tips. But for beginners, such nails often turn out to be predatory and vulgar. Without sufficient practice, it is better not to risk it. Trapezoidal blades extended to the ends always look unaesthetic.
As you can see in the illustration, nails of different shapes and lengths are another great example of a failed manicure. On hands with burrs and untidy cuticles, this looks especially sloppy.
Expensive, rich
Rhinestones look exquisite only when a few rules are followed:
- stones should be of high quality, even (preferably glass ones);
- strass and other decorations are notshould be a lot;
- 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" definitely does not work here! A failed manicure overloaded with rhinestones looks vulgar and cheap.
Trend is not always pretty
Some fashion publications claim that bubble nails and fur decor have come into fashion. Whether to believe them is a personal matter for everyone. But in pursuit of the trend, one should not forget about aesthetics. Perhaps, in the rays of spotlights at some show, this will look organic. But is it worth shocking others with such dubious beauty?
Gel layers
Having mentioned bubble nails, it is worth focusing on the next point. It happens that there was no goal to create “bubble” nails, but the lack of experience affected the result. If the gel polish deforms during baking, leaves sagging, and the nails look like swollen bubbles, it is worth removing the unsuccessful layer and redoing the manicure. Might be worth practicing with gel polish. An unsuccessful manicure can happen if you master materials from a manufacturer new to you or use an unusual lamp for yourself. The result should look neat.
Too thick layer of baked gel not only spoils the whole look, but also uncomfortable to wear.
The main mistake is inaccuracy
Traces of varnish on the skin of the finger, dry cuticles, poorly sealed ends, uneven lines - all thissigns of a bad manicure You should not be upset: you need to remove all materials, carry out the required hygiene procedures, degrease the nails, walk on them with a buff and try to make up again. By practicing, you will be able to analyze your mistakes, fill your hand. Each time the result will get better.
Stars amaze
Ugly nails happen not only to those who got to an inexperienced master or trying to learn the basics of nail art on their own. Oddly enough, celebrities also sometimes shock fans with terrible hands.
Speaking about the unsuccessful manicure of the stars, we can mention not only the outrageous Britney Spears. Kelly Osbourne seems to have inherited from her father not only a surname, but also a certain freakiness.
Paparazzi have repeatedly caught the beauty of Paris Hilton with broken nails and peeling varnish. Came into the lenses and Carmen Electra with a manicure, more reminiscent of the claws of a predatory beast. Well, nail art teachers often use a photo of Lady Gaga with massive stucco work, talking about how not to do it.
The path to success
How to avoid mistakes? Be inspired by the beautiful works of good craftsmen, develop accuracy, start simple. Always remember appropriateness, avoid excessiveness. Do not be afraid of mistakes, because they help to improve the level of skill.
