How to place the nail form for every shape

Welcome back to my blog!

Today I want to show you with photos how to apply the nail form to perform the main shapes!

Let’s start!

Meanwhile, I recommend you read the article where I describe the various shapes and on which hands they are better, and also the article where I explain how to apply a nail form.

Square

For the square shape the nail form should be placed straight respect to the nail. Seen from the front, it must be open. It will have straight sides in front.

Pipe

The pipe will have the same characteristics as the square only which, as it is a technical form, will present the balance point, therefore the nail form will be slightly tilted upwards.

Marilyn

Marilyn presents the nail form closed almost entirely at the tip, but not completely.

From the side it will be straight and from the front we would have a triangle but not completely pointed.

Gothic almond

This is also a technical form, so it will present the balance point and the nail form will consequently be slightly tilted upwards.

We will close it all at the tip and from above we will see a completely closed triangle.

Stiletto, Oval, Almond

These three shapes present the nail form in the same way.

It will be slightly tilted downwards, so as to have the sides straight, without filing them too much to thin the tip, and it is completely closed at the tip.

These are the main forms. I want to specify that there are various methods to perform these forms, so it is not said that everyone does as I am showing you, over time you will also find your favorite technique.

Furthermore, if you have natural nails to be corrected, you don’t have to follow the rules of inclination of the nail form.
