3 Easy Nail Designs For Short Nails

 I've always been impressed by those people that can rock extremely long nails regularly. However, my lifestyle means short nails are far more practical and fewer likely to interrupt. But short nails doesn't mean boring nails! I am sharing with you three easy to DIY nail designs for brief nails.

 Before You Start If you would like your manicure to shine you would like to require excellent care of your nails. If you would like short nails to seem good, you will need to offer your cuticles some love and shape them properly. Start with employing a cuticle oil and gently, very gently push the cuticles back using an orangewood stick. This will make your nails look far more elegant and can help your manicure last longer. Short or long, nails look better once they are shaped with a glass nail file. You don't get to do anything complex: a squoval or oval shape looks great on short nails.

 Just confirm they're all an equivalent length therefore the manicure looks even and no nail looks out of place. 

The three easy nail designs for brief nails below should be applied on a base coat that suits your requirements. This will assist you to avoid staining and can make your manicure last longer. So, with all the prep out of the way, it is time to explore some manicure ideas for brief nails!

 1- Classic: French Manicure

 A french manicure is timeless and can make your fingers look longer which may be a nice bonus. It's also office-friendly even for the foremost corporate environments. It's a natural-looking nail with tips painted with white varnish. Some people prefer to paint the white varnish straight on top of a transparent base, while others use nude nail enamel over the whole nail. Essie Ballet Slippers may be a very fashionable one for this. There are french manicure stickers that you simply can stick a touch below the free fringe of your nail, right where you would like the white section to start out. It makes creating a crisp white like much easier! Or if you're feeling adventurous, replace the white with contrasting neon color, or maybe black. Don't forget a glossy top coat to raise your french manicure to the next level!

 2 - Geometric Stamping 

If you're after something more vivid than the french manicure, nail stamping may be a great way to urge yourself started with nail art. Stamping means transferring designs from metal stamping plates to nails employing a stamper. And it's really fun! For short nails, geometric stamping works best, as you'll not have enough space for a cutesy drawing or other non-repeating designs. But experiment to see what you like best! Some combinations that work great on short nails are gold stamping over a blue background, silver on black or red, and even silver or gold glittery stamp over a nude polish base. You will need a touch of kit here, but nothing too expensive. Nail stamping kits usually include one or more stamping plates, a stamper, and a scrapper (or you'll use an old MasterCard for it). It may take some practice to learn how to perfectly lift the design from the plate and stamp it on the nail but the results are salon worthy. 

3 - Alternating Tips 

This type of design combines the always popular negative space trend with a colorful manicure. Choose two complementary colors, such as red and gold, black and silver, or even two different finishes of the same color. For example, you'll alternate glittery tips with matte tips. Leave rock bottom half the nail bare except for a transparent base coat, and alternate painting the ideas in each of the 2 chosen colors. Quick and straightforward, but still eye-catching and can make your nails look longer. And don't forget to protect your manicure with a long-lasting topcoat. Quick-dry topcoats are perfect for nail art, as they minimize the danger of smudging all of your diligence.
