Who else religiously gets their nails done every other week? Let’s be honest, this tiny bit of pampering makes a big difference in my life and I will continue doing it until I can’t anymore! Not only do I love getting my nails done, but I love thinking up and Pinterest researching nail designs for short nails, since that’s what I have! Usually the end result is reflective of the mood I’m in at the time of getting my manicure and typically, I’m all about keeping my designs fun, fresh, chic, and modern! Make it be known: nail designs for short nails don’t have to be cheesy!!
Short Nails, Big Possibilities
Now, I know some of you might be wondering, “But how are you able to recreate the current trendy nail designs on your short nails?” I get it, because most of the time, the hand models we see have longgg tips. And my response is that it’s easy!!! Short nails are great for trying out different designs too, and I’m here to give you all the nail designs for short nails inspo!!
You Can’t Go Wrong with Vibrant or Neutral Nails
With all that said, one week I might go for vibrant and colorful patterns. Think neon stripes, glitter gradients, or even hand-painted mini designs like hearts of stars. These designs are the most perfect and fun way to add some personality to my busy mom life. Then, the next week, I might go for something more neutral. But that doesn’t mean boring! I like trying ombre effects, chrome nails, metallic accents, or even classic French manicures with a twist.
The Way You Cut Your Nails is Important Too
By the way, the reason I have to keep my nails short is because, well, let’s just say little kids and sharp nails don’t mix well! But that doesn’t stop me from having fun with the latest trends or ideas I come up with on my own. And in addition to playing around with the actual nail polish design, I also like to play around with how they’re cut. Right now, I’m really into the oval tip nail trend which I find to be chic and versatile, plus, it helps elongate the look of my short nails. In years past, I rocked a square round tip and even just a square tip and I still love the look of both of those, too!
