NAIL STRUCTURE
a. FREE EDGE the part of the nail that can be filed and shaped. It is an extension of the nail plate
that overlaps the eponychium.
b. NAIL PLATE is the visible nail that rests on the nail bed up to the free edge. This is made up of
dead cells and a minimum amount of moisture.
c. NAIL BED the part of the nail where the nail plate rests on, also a continuation of the matrix and
it is abundantly supplied with blood vessels and nerves.
d. LUNULA the pearly coloured and crescent-shaped area of a finger
e. MATRIX the part of the nail situated directly beneath the cuticle. It produces the cells that
become the nail plate.
f. CUTICLE the overlapping epidermis around the nail. It is the transparent skin, which is called the
'true cuticle' which is removed during the manicuring process.
g. NAIL GROOVE Indentation between edges of nail plate and skin
h. MANTLE Protect matrix from physical damage
i. HYPONYCHIUM Skin under free edge; Serves as barrier to nail bed
NAIL SHAPES
1. ROUND SHAPE
• 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.
2. OVAL SHAPE
• 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.
3. POINTED SHAPE
• 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 SHAPE
• Similar to the above but followed by squaring off the tip, giving the nail tip strength over the
oval shape.
5. SQUARE SHAPE
• The most popular 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.
