Short nails are great for women who prefer a low-maintenance and no-fuss approach to their nails. They are less prone to breakage, lend themselves well to various settings, and are super practical. They can also be adapted to suit your preference, and you can get creative with your artwork.
If you like to stand out from the crowd, then clashing colors and unusual details are what you need. Or maybe you are someone who prefers the classics; pastel art and dreamy pinks will help you achieve the design of your dreams. Nail art is a wonderful way to express yourself and one of the easiest things to change about your appearance. So, if you want bright and bold nails, or something pretty and subtle, keep reading to be inspired for the perfect manicure, regardless of the occasion.

Can you get a manicure with short nails?

Generally, for very short nails we wouldn't recommend going any longer than the length of the nail plate. For example, if your nail plate is around 1/2 and inch, when we come to adding length, we wouldn't recommend going longer than 1/2 an inch. When it comes to a standard manicure, you can definitely get them done. Not all girls can brag about the long beautiful shape of the nails. But there are a lot of various designs for the short nails. 



Do French tips look good on short nails?

The french manicure gradient works well on shorter nails as there isn't a sharp white edge that shows where the nail bed ends and the nail tip begins. It gives the illusion that the nail tips are longer as the white tip gradient fades




If you want a pretty manicure that can be worn on all nail shapes and lengths, then daisy nails are it. The simplicity of the daisy makes it an easy and popular design to try out and will look great on various base coats. You can opt for pink colors for a soft, dreamy feel or choose a monochromatic look with a black base coat and white daisies for a striking finish. The daisy is a flower that represents purity, love, and innocence, so your nail art will also be symbolic. Your look can also pay homage to nature and the things you love.



Short Nail Halloween 

If you’re not ready to try a full set of nails, negative space is a great way to hop on the Halloween nail art train. Simply choose your favorite spooky season-themed designs and ask your nail artist (or try at home!) to paint these onto a clear base coat.Go as literal or abstract as you want! Finish off with a super shiny top coat or a matte top coat for different effects.



When it comes to nail design, we tell you for sure that there are no limits, because you can experiment with the colors you want and the applications you prefer. Join us today at Yume Organic Nail Spa and have fun with your new nailstyle!
