This is one of my most favorite shapes. Ive never met a tech in Maryland that can do one. I do like mine "exaggerated" though. This is a beautiful and wearable example. But i love the more deeper sidewalls and straight edges and more narrow at the tip.

This is by far the prettiest Russian Almond I've seen. It's such an interesting shape. I've seen some that were very pronounced with the bottom arches being very long and boxy. Greg's version is soft, subtle and definitely sexy as he said. It looked like sooooo much product being used I was scared for a minute but the end result is lovely and signature Young Nails work!! 💗

Same way. All about correct form placement. Use your brush to sculpt the free edge make sure you don't apply to much gel at your free edge and clean excess gel from the nail form tip before curing. You can achieve a great C curve just with pinch the right places on your form.

I’m not understanding how this is a Russian almond.. maybe am I missing something here? Can someone explain or help me understand pls and thank you lol
@xxxmindblockxxx4 жыл бұрын
A regular almond has straight side walls when looking from the side, the bottom lines go straight out and the top line drops down (after the apex) to meet up with the side walls. With Russian styles the sidewalls (viewed from the side) go straight out but then arch upward to meet the tip so the top line of the nail can be straight. That's also why he tilted the form up. Russian styles have a more complex geometry from the side, the side walls arch up instead of the top line dipping down. The goal is a nail that goes straight out at the apex instead of curving back down like traditional shapes. That's the difference, the sharpness or roundness of the corners is up to preference 😉

Are you able to create the same look with the c curve coffin or tips , than file the corner off ?

You can create a similar look with the coffin or stiletto tips since they have a similar c-curve. If you are using a straight/square tip, this would not give you the same shape and structure as needed for the almond nail.

A traditional almond shape can be done on a natural nail, but it is more challenging to turn a natural nail into a Russian almond because of the angle of the form and the structure of the c-curve.
