How to Visually Lengthen Very Short Nails

To get extra length at the base, experts advise not to cut the cuticle, but to push it back after steaming.

Very short nails will seem longer if you use clear varnish or other tones. It is necessary to take into account that coral coatings are suitable for bronze skin, gray and purple are prohibited. Use red varnish and refuse turquoise if the skin is cold tones. White varnish makes nails even shorter.

Fair-skinned girls will like pink and beige nails, tanned girls will suit yellow shades, dark-skinned girls should choose caramel.

Short Nails Shapes and Tones

If the nails are short, choose an oval, classic or soft square depending on the length of the fingers. If they are long, the first two shapes will do. Those with short fingers should choose a round shape. Light varnish that matches the skin color visually lengthens the fingers.

French nails are suitable for both squares, any color of coatings with both glossy and matte texture.

Nail artists prefer to apply neon varnish or bright colors to oval nail plates - red, rich brown, dark blue, black. Owners of oval nails should avoid skin-colored varnishes, otherwise the manicure will be invisible.

For the design of ovals, matte varnishes are combined with glossy ones, velvet coating, acrylic powder, floral patterns, and small glitter are used.

In order for short nails to look perfect, it is necessary to have a sense of proportion. Given the small surface area, shiny decor is used sparingly, accents are moderate, patterns and drawings are elegant.
