Triangles are a sought-after trend of the current season. Such a manicure will be appropriate for both a festive look and a business dress code.

  • Scotch;
  • top, finish;
  • lamp.

 

How to do:

After drying, glue the triangle with the main coating, leaving a strip between them between them.

A classic French manicure with a transparent base and an oval white "smile" is combined with geometric lines in yellow, white and black on the ring finger and little finger.
  • The modified form of the “smile” is in the form of triangular elements with a rhombus in the middle. Delicate pink, pale yellow and shiny varnish in combination with a transparent base makes the design very elegant.
  • French for extended nails - "smile" in the box. Bold, bright design.

 

Masters give a geometric shape to a "smile" or hole, making it in the form of a triangle, elongated sharp or small, on the very edge of the nail plate. Abstract drawings on a transparent background are also popular.
