Sporting a perfect manicure with immaculate nails and an eye catching design can never go out of style. Celebrities swear by this. So, no matter how stunning your outfit is, nail art can make or break your look. Although they’re a small part of our body, nails have the ability to add that extra oomph to your persona. And no, you don’t need to have insane extensions or super complex designs to get the perfect set of nails. It’s about time people realize that beautiful nail art can be achieved on short nails as well! The idea that only people with long nails can get nail art is plain stupid.
Yes, longer nails provide more surface area to the nail technicians to express their creativity and the same becomes difficult on short nails. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! Adapting to a fast-pacedmodern lifestyle means we’re always short on time. Lesser time means less maintenance and less maintenance means short nails.
Let’s face it, who has the time to make regular trips to the nail salon in case of any emergency. Shortnails are easy to maintain, more practical when it comes to following your daily routine and as versatile as long nails.
Examine your nails
Before you head out to the nail spa, have a good look at your nails. Please don’t take badly bitten nails, destroyed cuticles or jagged nails to the salon. Before you plan anything, make sure you get a good manicure from the salon itself or a DIY can work too. Although, if you’re not a pro at filing or cutting your nails, then it’s best to rely on professionals. Next, give your nails a symmetric shape, by filing them a little. It’s also a good idea to get your cuticles pushed back, this helps in increasing surface creating more surface area especially on small nails.
What to do
There are many designs to choose from. You’re bound to go crazy and won’t be able to pick any one!
