Many girls prefer short nails. Firstly, it is practical in everyday life, the likelihood that the nail will break is much less than in the case of long nails. Secondly, now it is a growing trend. However, all these advantages also lie behind various nuances creating a manicure on short nails. Which? Let's take a look.
Red coating
Exclusively on short nails, red varnish is a classic, popular and appropriate at all times. On very long nails, this color can already look vulgar.
Banned horizontal stripes
Geometric nail designs are always in fashion, especially on short nails. However, it is necessary to refrain from lines in the horizontal direction - such a pattern will make the nail plate much wider, which is dangerous with a small length of the marigold. If there is a desire to visually lengthen the nail plate, then you should refer to the vertical pattern.
To French - no!
Owners of short nails should give up the jacket. It is extremely difficult to create such a design on short nails. Moreover, French manicure visually shortens the nail plate. French is allowed only when the nail has grown a little. On very short nails, reverse French manicure or "holes" looks great.
Dark or Light?
Some pastel shades are characterized by "eating" the nail plate - the nails seem disproportionately short and small. The opposite property is possessed by neutral, nude tones and dark shades of varnishes. That is why they look incredibly beautiful on short nails.
Matte - lights out!
They look best on medium toenail lengths. Matte finishes make the nails look shorter. But, if you really want to, then choose dark, red tones and combine with glossy decor.
Sequins, rubbing and glitter - into battle!
Shiny, shimmery and glittering nail polishes are perfect for owners of a short nail plate - the manicure will be fresh, bright and interesting. On very long nails, glitter will not look so attractive. But as for patterns and drawings, it is better to give preference to minimalism. You can also polish your nails to perfect smoothness using a wax buff.
Trim manicure
It is worth paying a lot of attention to the cuticle - to push it back in time, do "Nail file" manicure or cut, treat with special oils, since this is an extra and very essential millimeter of the length of the nail plate for short nails.
The form
At any length of the nail, care should be taken about the shape of the nail plate. For the fair sex with short marigolds, an oval shape and a rounded square are ideal.
Everything is as on selection
Care must be taken to ensure that all nails are the same length - any deviation on short nails will be very noticeable and look sloppy. Choose a manicure more carefully and get compliments!
