But, as with any other manicure, there are some nuances. This sharp manicure requires adjustments more often than any other. Because the sharp edge of the nail plate breaks and is filed down. At first, nails of this shape are unusual and not very comfortable for women. But after a while, it becomes comfortable. This year this form is quite relevant. Although the module returns to a natural and natural appearance and beauty. If you paint such nails with bright colors, the look will, of course, be vulgar. No
Types and forms
What types and shapes are there for sharp shaped nails? Let's look at them:
- Stylet. This is what manicure for long, sharp nails is called today.
- Slightly slanted nails. Also one of the spicy types.
- For lovers of a softer manicure style, a triangular shape is suitable.
- Pipe. This is a delicate and at the same time elegant form. When viewed from the side, the nail looks triangular and oval from above.
- “Ballerina” (or the second name “pointe shoes”) is a clear edge of a square shape, without rounding.
- "Bridget". A rather elegant form of manicure, characterized by the convergence of the edges at one point in the center of the nail.
- Age. It looks very similar to Bridget, but the tip is more pointed.
- Cat claws are very similar to a stiletto. But they are also bent towards the middle of the palm.
- Blade. This form is the most extravagant of all. At a certain angle, it looks like a butterfly wing.
- Almond form. She is the most popular. It is most convenient to do a sharp-shaped manicure on such nails. In addition, this season it is in trend. You can safely do experiments with it.
Features of the corner jacket
The main feature of an oblique French manicure is that, unlike the standard design, the rim at the end of the nail plate is drawn not in a semicircle, but at an angle. A French nail design with a drawn line in the corner looks quite unusual; it is suitable for both everyday and festive designs.
The width of the oblique line at the tip of the nail depends on its length. As a rule, on a short length it is made slightly curved, thin with a more extended end on one side. But drawing a straight line without a bend from one corner requires additional decor, for example, an additional line, otherwise the design will have an unfinished look.
Medium and long nails allow you to make the edge thicker. It can even be up to half a nail wide. In this case, the border is made with a slight bend or straight line.
Advice! When making an angle, a line from the edge can be drawn not only on one side, but also in the form of a triangle.
Which girls are suitable for a sharp manicure?
To create an excellent manicure, you need to determine, choose the shape and design of your nails. To do this, you can consult with a specialist in the salon. In this case, the hand will look more like the paw of an eagle or a kite. For such a lady, almond, pipe or “ballerina” would be better suited. A square shape with slightly rounded or oval nails is also appropriate.
For short and full fingers, the classic stiletto is also not suitable. The hand will look fat. An oval shape, almond, is suitable. A stiletto can make nails that are visually too short appear longer. Extended cat claws will come in handy if the nail plate is very short and small. And the classic stiletto looks on fingers of medium thickness and length. Fashionable manicure (sharp) is not necessarily done only on long nails. It can also be created on short ones. The design of such nails must be chosen very carefully. You should choose only calm, warm pastel shades. At the same time, using the very minimum of decorative elements and rhinestones. This is necessary so that the sharp manicure does not look cheap. The biggest disadvantage of these nails is that the edge is very thin and can break quickly. At first it is quite difficult to do any usual actions with them (changing tights, typing on a keyboard, regular gloves, changing contact lenses for the eyes). This form of manicure attracts the attention of others too much. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to the skin of your hands.
Step-by-step instructions for creating a nail design
The first stage is the main one
- After processing the nail plate and giving it the desired shape, apply a colorless base coat in one layer. Even if there are unpainted areas, there is nothing to worry about, since the fixative will correct the situation upon completion of the work. Thus, all nails should be covered with transparent varnish; it will take no more than 5 minutes for the background coating to dry.
- Then, on the background layer, you need to draw a solid strip obliquely using white varnish, connecting one edge of the nail plate to the other (straight or curved line). It can be difficult to draw a line evenly and accurately on your own without time-honed skills, so you can take acrylic paint and a thin manicure brush.
- In order for the oblique or side French on the nails to have a more finished look, paint the tip completely white, trying not to go beyond the “smile line”. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the bias jacket near the side roller has beautiful and well-painted corners.
Stage two – festive design
To give our design some sophistication and a festive look, let's try to complicate the design of the nails a little with rhinestones.
- When the white enamel dries, we begin to decorate the side jacket with additional design elements. Using silver polish and a No. 0 (or 00) manicure brush, draw a line along the border with white polish or directly along the painted part of the nail, strictly in the center and along the border of the “smile line”. You can increase the thickness of the line as you approach the opposite corner of the nail.
- An oblique French manicure will look even more interesting if you decorate your nails with small rhinestones. Pebbles can be placed either along the “smile line” in one row or in several, or only in the corners. Use plain diamond rhinestones or choose ones that will harmonize with your outfit or other details of your look. Rhinestones are fixed using special glue or clear varnish. You just need to put a small drop in the right place and “plant” a rhinestone on it. The arrangement of pebbles can be very varied: lines, triangles, curves or something like a floral pattern. Fantasy will always tell you interesting options.
- The last step is to record the result. After all layers have dried, the nail plate must be coated with a fixative or regular transparent varnish. An oblique French on your nails will last much longer. You can make such beauty with your own hands without leaving home and just following these instructions.
How to qualitatively give the correct sharp shape to your nails?
In order for the shape to be perfectly even, you need to purchase special files for sharp edges. The best option is to buy two. That is, ceramic, glass. It is advisable that one be with a large coating and the other with a fine coating. To prevent your nails from peeling, you need to file them using the correct technique. Do not cut them in different directions under any circumstances.
And do not cut your nails with scissors so that the structure is not disturbed. Push back the cuticle with a wooden stick. Before this lubricating oil, place a softening oil next to them. If you do a manicure on long, sharp nails yourself, you need to very carefully, very carefully, file the file. You should start with the central finger. Then you need to find its middle and saw to the desired shape. Do not forget that the remaining fingers are slightly tilted to the sides, and you need to file and you need to file and file and you need to file and file your legs. The thumb is filed clearly in the center. The sharpness needs to be slightly rounded to avoid injury.
It is very difficult to sharpen all your nails evenly on your own. Moreover, they break quickly and you need to grow them back, but this is not so fast. To give it a sharp shape, you need to file about a third of the entire length. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly ensure that nails break less and strengthen them. You can make your nails stronger with the help of medications and cosmetics. And also eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals - nuts, dairy products, fish. It is also effective to make healthy vitamin baths.
What do slanted nails look like?
Many girls don’t even realize that slightly slanted nails are not a flaw of the master, but the latest fashion. Such nails are created by conventional extensions. But in the process of shaping, the master makes a small bevel at the top of the nail. Thus, the surface of the nail itself turns out to be uneven, as if diagonal. The size of the bevel can be increased, or you can make it almost invisible.
In terms of the design of such nails, masters can clearly show their imagination. For example, multi-colored manicure looks very impressive on oblique plates. The girl needs to paint her nails in different colors with matte or glossy varnish. Here you can use all the shades available in your arsenal, achieving the most vibrant image. You can complement the design with rhinestones or sparkles.
If the bevel of the nail seems too large, the girl should focus not on the top part of the plate, but on the bottom. For example, the nails themselves can be painted with colorless varnish, and a bright pattern in the form of intertwining zigzags or beautiful flowers can be created at the base of the plate. Such a design will distract attention from the unusual shape of the nail, making the manicure perfect.
Despite the asymmetrical nature of the upper part of the nail, such slanting nails can be decorated using a French manicure. It is better to create a classic French manicure with a white edging of the nail, as it will look organic with the unusual shape of the plate itself. To decorate the manicure and make it brighter, a girl can paint small flowers or an image of some animal on her nails. This manicure will look classically restrained, despite the creative shape of the nail.

French oblique manicure technique
French manicure, where the line is drawn at an angle, can be done independently. There are a huge number of ideas for this, but the essence of execution remains the same. A step-by-step example of designing a side jacket using two colors and a simple dot pattern below.
To perform this oblique jacket you will need:
- clear base coat;
- varnish of two colors (in this case, bright pink and blue are used);
- white enamel for painting or simple varnish;
- dots with a small ball;

Like any manicure, this design begins with preparing the nail plate and the cuticle around it.
A base colorless coating is applied to treated nails.
Since this French nail design involves drawing a half oblique line, first apply the base color (pink). To achieve a rich color, it should be applied in 2 layers.
Important! After applying the first layer, it needs to be given time to dry so that there are no glimpses left when applying the second layer.
After applying the pink base coat, the varnish is allowed to dry.
Draw a border onto the dried pink varnish. To do this, apply blue varnish on the ring finger so as to create an oblique line. The end of the nail is completely painted blue.
The same procedure is performed on the nail of the middle finger. The coating is allowed to dry.
The design is completed with a dot pattern on the border of the oblique line and the main background. The design is applied using a dots tool with the smallest round tip.
