In Nail Art, contouring has become a key trend. The contouring technique consists of sculpting the shape of the face using a play of light and shadow. Objective: to embellish by harmonizing the volumes. Today, the nail supply expert Maryton will explain everything to you.

The contouring technique is based on the use of a light color, which will enlarge the volumes and a dark color which will reduce them. This play of shadow and light will, for example, make it possible to refine a particularly flat or round nail or even to give the impression of longer nails.

The realization of a Nail Art Contouring is often motivated by two reasons:

1) Correct or beautify the shape of nails or hands, for more beautiful nails, more feminine hands.

• To give an illusion of length, for example, apply a light color to the tip of the nail.

• To refine a round nail, apply a dark color to the sides.

2) Create a graphic and minimalist style. Elegant and very current, Nail Art contouring is easily worn by women of all ages.
