A woman's nails have always been considered her trademark, and until now nothing has changed. If the nails are in an unkempt condition, then the image of a woman cannot be called complete. There are many methods for creating beautiful nails.
Short nails
Self-confident and energetic - this is how women with short nails are characterized. But not all women like nails of this length. It so happens that the nails were long and well-groomed, but then an unpleasant moment happened - one nail broke. Do not be upset and short nail plates can be visually made longer.
Dark varnish
Every woman should know that dark nail polish makes nails longer and larger. Therefore, women with short nails should stock up on dark shades. To make the nails look longer, you should use glossy varnishes, with a shimmer, mother-of-pearl, "metallic", since a nail plate covered with a matte or satin top will not give the desired effect. Manicure "cat's eye", rubbed in, with length correction foil are ideal.
A very light color of the varnish will, on the contrary, emphasize the short length of the nails. The exceptions are nude shades (from light pink to beige). It is advisable to choose a flesh color slightly lighter than your skin tone.
Colors to use: purple, cherry, deep red, chocolate and others. It's good if there are vertical reflections-stripes (as in the example above), just a striped version of the manicure or contrasting color combinations.
The relationship between polish color and nail shape
Before choosing a polish color, you need to consider the shape of your nails. Nails with a rectangular or oval shape can be covered with any dense shades. For a visual increase in nails, you should paint them completely.
For women with short and wide nails, only the middle of the nail should be varnished. You do not need to paint the side parts of the nails with varnish.
French manicure
On small nails, French manicure, "sugar" decor, sparkles and light patterns on a dark background look very beautiful. French makes the nails visually longer, since part of the nail is painted white, which visually indicates that the nail has grown.
When doing a French manicure, you need to make the white strip very thin, so the nails will look longer.
Short nails design
You shouldn't give up the design, but before doing it, you need to take into account a small nuance. A horizontal line design is strongly discouraged for short nails. Therefore, instead of it, you need to use patterns in the form of vertical and diagonal patterns, ornaments. This will visually make the nails narrower and thus look like long nails.
Nail care
When a manicure is done, a hardening agent must be applied to make the nails stronger. Products should only be used with nylon, kevlar or silk fibers. These products form a protective film on the nails, making the nails less brittle.
