Different nail shape

Ideas of men's jewellery


As was going through Pinterest, I came across this beautiful brooches and their shape look similar to the nail shapes, that I'll be using the most. This nail shape that I like, looks like marquise shape which also looks like Zulu shield (i-hawu).

Long claw nails.

Longclaw nails are more dramatic, judging by looking at there pictures below. I never saw a normal person with these Long claw nails. I only see these nails on an adventure movie like Wolverine and Cat woman. Longs nails draw attention because in my belief I was told that if you have long nails you are devil with demons. Umpiring from the pictures below I believe that these are signature piece. These long nail claws are made from Non-precious materials and precious
The materials.

Wolverine

Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marcel Comic, mostly in association with X-men. Wolverine is a powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor and he has three retractable claws in each hand. As was looking at men's jewellery I came across Wolverine because he has weapon claws. They excited by violently by puncturing through his wrists, hands out from between his knuckles. I'm exploring the beauty of nail art and I'm trying to use nail shape to create my jewellery.

Here is URL explains about Wolverine claws.

His frail bone claws were laced during the procedure as well as transforming them into lethal sharpened blades. Under normal circumstances Wolverine has full muscular control over his claws, with the ability to extend them individually in varying speed.

BEIGE Exhibition.

The contemporary jewellery Beige exhibition is based on a notion that everyone seems to have an opinion about a relationship to the colour. What I noticed about this exhibition is that all artist did not use colour and they all made different work. As was going through to the beige exhibition, I found Jytte Loppenthin work so interesting.

In figure1, it an embroidered brooch: dickpick made by Jytte Loppenthin and it reminds me of the artwork of Van Gogh, Starry Night and The scream by Edvard Munch artwork. If you look carefully in the brooch, the focal point is a figure in the centre. The figure in the brooch looks like a human body and it curved in both sides and the oval shape looks like a head. It looks similar like a figure on Edvard Munch in fig2). The Embroidering in the background looks like brush strokes mark. The embroidering design in the foreground in the (bottom) of the brooch looks like stars on the background of van Gogh painting in (fig3).

Rococo

Rococo it's an 18th-century artistic movement lifestyle, which includes architecture, music, painting, decoration which combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, white and pastel colours and sculpted moulding. This style developed in the 18th century in France and Paris. The rococo style reminds me, of neo-classicism artwork of Jacques-Louis David.

The Rococo room was designed with the work of elegant art. Walls were  Creamy pastel, asymmetrical designs and a great deal of gold were used in order to establish an impression of decadence and luxury. In nowadays you only find Rococo style in Museum, Hotels and Royal House.
