I have always been impressed by people who have extremely long nails on a regular basis. However, for my lifestyle, short nails are much more practical and less likely to break. But short nails do not mean boring nails! I'll show you three easy DIY nail designs for short nails.

Before you start

If you want your manicure to shine, you need to take good care of your nails. If you want short nails to look good, you need to give your cuticles some love and shape them properly.

Start with a cuticle oil and gently and carefully push back the cuticles with an orange wood stick. This will make your nails look much more elegant and your manicure will last longer.

Short or long, nails look better when they are shaped with a glass file. You do not have to do anything complicated: A square or oval shape looks great on short nails. Just make sure they are all the same length so the manicure looks even and no nail looks out of place.

The following three simple nail designs for short nails should be applied on a base coat that suits your needs. This way you will avoid stains and your manicure will last longer.

So, after the preparations are done, it's time to discover some manicure ideas for short nails!

A classic: French manicure

A French manicure is timeless and makes your fingers look longer, which is a nice bonus. It's also office-appropriate, even for most businesses. It is a natural looking nail with the tips painted with white polish.

Some people paint the white polish directly on a transparent base, while others wear a nude colored nail polish all over the nail. Essie Ballet Slippers is a very popular nail polish for this.

There are French manicure stickers that you can apply slightly below the free edge of the nail, right where you want the white area to start. This makes it much easier to create a crisp white! If you are feeling adventurous, you can also replace the white with a contrasting neon color or even black.

Do not forget to apply a glossy top coat to take your French manicure to the next level!

Geometric embossing

If you are looking for something more vibrant than French manicure, nail stamping is a great way to get started with nail art. Stamping uses a stamp to transfer designs from a metal plate onto the nails. And it's really fun!

Geometric stamping is best for short nails, as you may not have enough room for a cute drawing or other non-repeating motifs. But experiment to see what you like best!

Some combinations that work well on short nails are gold stamping on a blue background, silver on black or red, and even a silver or gold glitter stamp on a nude colored polish base.

You will need some equipment for this, but it is not too expensive. Nail stamp kits usually include one or more stamp plates, a stamp, and a scraper (or you can use an old credit card for this). It may take some practice to learn how to perfectly lift the design off the plate and stamp it on the nail, but the results are presentable.

Alternate tips

This type of design combines the ever-popular negative space trend with a colorful manicure. Choose two complementary colors, like red and gold, black and silver, or even two different versions of the same color. For example, you could alternate glittery tips with matte tips.

Leave the bottom half of the nail untreated except for a transparent base coat, and paint the tips alternately in each of the two chosen colors. This is quick and easy, but it's still a real eye-catcher and makes your nails look longer.

And do not forget to protect your manicure with a long-lasting top coat. Quick-drying top coats are perfect for nail art because they minimize the risk of smudging your hard work.
