    BASIC NAIL SHAPES

    AND NAIL ART


    TLE – Grade 8
    BASIC NAIL SHAPES
    1. Oval nail
    › this is common among
    people with long, perfect
    nail beds.
    › It may be styled slightly
    rounded at the base and
    slightly pointed at the
    fingertips.
    › Most often this type of nail
    has a natural look and
    looks very good in a short-
    medium length.
    2. Round nail
    › ideal for shorter nails, the
    nail is allowed to grow out
    straight at the sides for
    approximately 1.5 mm and
    then the tip is filed into a
    rounded shape.
    › This is a strong shape which
    is great for those who keep
    their nails short.
    3. Stiletto/ pointed nail
    › filed away at the
    sides to a point at
    the tip; this shape
    is very weak as the
    sides of the nail
    (which provide the
    strength) are
    totally lost.
    4. Squoval
    ›As above, but
    followed by
    squaring off the
    tip, this gives the
    nail tip strength
    over the oval
    shape.
    5. Square nail
    › The square-shaped nails
    are the most famous
    among the nail shapes.
    › It is created by allowing
    the nail to grow out
    straight and then filing the
    tip straight across at right
    angles with the rest of the
    nail plate.
    NAIL ART
    A. Plain manicure
    ›It is the
    traditional
    application of
    nail polish to
    the entire nail
    plate.
    B. Half-Moon
    ›Half moon is a
    style that involves
    applying of nail
    polish over the
    whole nail plate
    except the area
    of lunula.
    C. Half- Moon with Tip
    › It involves the
    application of
    colored polish over
    the whole nail
    plate except the
    area of lunula and
    tip of the nail.
    D. French Manicure or Tip design
    › It is a design which
    involves the
    application of
    colored polish over
    the whole part of the
    nail except the area
    of the free-edge.
    E. Elephant Tusk
    › Elephant tusk is a
    style that involves
    the application of
    nail polish to
    create S curve,
    leaving a slightly
    larger gap along
    the nail walls.
