The new season is not inclined to define clear boundaries of fashion trends in manicure and false nails. However, there are a number of recommendations and professional advice that can help women choose the latest nail design, including false nails. A huge variety of false nail designs allows you to have a fresh and stylish manicure at any time. What interesting options for false nails do stylists offer us in 2022?
Current length of false nails
Long false nails on a woman's hands indicate her delicacy, since not everyone can afford to wear long false nails. Such an overlay manicure limits a woman in everything from the ability to type text on a computer to styling hair, especially for children. Short false nails allow you to regularly perform women's chores and housework. But for some reason this factor is not a priority when choosing false nails. Still, women try to choose the maximum length of false nails.
Stunning sculpting on false nails
A real work of art can be created on the surface of false nails. Three-dimensional acrylic figures look great in false manicures. Fashionable shades of sculpting and varnish are combined very effectively by manicurists, even on false nails. Acrylic flowers on false nails can attract everyone's attention, especially if they are done realistically. This design on false nails is very relevant in the spring, when everything around comes to life.
Plain false nails in various sizes
The most common manicure option for false nails is a plain one. And it doesn’t matter at all what the shape of the false nail will be: oval, almond-shaped or square. This design is ideal for business looks and everyday wear. Calm shades will not attract attention, unless of course you have chosen ultra-long false nails. False nails in pastel colors look modest but tasteful. The restrained color scheme in monochrome can easily complement any everyday look.
Who is suitable for the almond nail shape and who is not?
The fashionable shape of almond nails is a real salvation for almost all nails and fingers. The only thing you need to worry about is the length of the free edge of the nail. On short nails it will be difficult to make such a shape, and the effect may not be pleasing. But the solution is not difficult to find: you can grow your nails or use an extension service.
Almond-shaped nails on different shapes of the nail plate Manicure on almond-shaped nails
Almond-shaped marigolds are suitable for owners of the following nail plates:
- oblong with any shape of the cuticle line (the required length of the free edge is at least 4 mm);
- wide with any shape of the cuticle line (the required length of the free edge is at least 5-6 mm);
- round, oval of any width from one nail fold to another (minimum length - 4-5 mm);
- square with any nail width (minimum length - 4-5 mm).
You can find your own approach to almost any shape of the nail plate; you just need to determine the required length of the free edge of the nail, which varies depending on natural data. For example, a nail plate with a width of 10 mm and a length from the cuticle to the smile line of 12 mm will look great with a free edge of 7-8 mm.
Harmoniously selected length of nails for “almond” modeling.
In practice, it is generally accepted that the ideal version of an almond-shaped manicure is a protruding part of the nail, 1-1.5 times longer than the distance from the cuticle to the smile line (the length of the nail bed). But this rule is often ignored due to the impracticality of such a nail length.

It is not recommended to model this shape on nails with a wide spade-shaped nail plate (for a beautiful appearance of the manicure, you will need to grow the nail by at least 9 mm or extensions, and the nail will ultimately not look aesthetically pleasing).
Unusual patterns on false nails
False nails are not new, but they continue to remain relevant for a long period of time. Everyday manicure with false nails can hardly be called practical. Spectacular drawings will definitely attract attention and cause positive reviews about false nails, especially since the possibilities of drawing are not limited in any way. False nails with stylish patterns look especially interesting in the summer season. Stripes and lace on the false surface of the nail look unusual. Contrasting stripes look laconic, and thin lace of sinuous lines have a chance to become the most favorite type of design on false nails 2022. Not only natural nails, but also false ones are decorated with designs. Each season is characterized by certain thematic ornaments. It is very important that the color balance on the false nails is maintained.

- false tips are glued only to healthy nails;
- Before gluing, it is necessary to degrease the surface for good adhesion;

Design of almond-shaped nail extensions in 2018-2019
The advantages of artificial nail plates over natural ones are numerous, but the main one is strength. The almond shape can already be modeled from the very beginning of the extension, when the base layer of gel is applied. To do this, you should roughly calculate the “almond” using the paper lining form and follow the same principle on each nail being extended.
Almond-shaped nail extensions
After a layer of sculpting gel, the nails are given the desired shape according to the same principle as on natural nail plates. Only the tools are selected that are more “hard”: a file with a coarse abrasive (80-100 grit), if cutters are used, then they are also selected according to the size of the “grain”.
Files for modeling extended nails
When modeling extended nails, do not forget about high-quality sanding of all edges and cutting out excess gel/acrylic from under the nail. This task is best handled by a cutter with 240 grit diamond-coated abrasive or carbide options.
