Form options for short nails

Even if natural nails cannot grow long, this is not at all a reason for frustration. Modern nail aesthetics offer many options for a spectacular manicure on short nails. In addition, a short length is more popular due to the fact that it is allowed for employment in various fields.

No matter how fashionable a manicure is, if the shape of the nails is not chosen, then it will not look beautiful. Natural beauty of hands is in fashion. Therefore, it is important to choose the most suitable shape for your nail plates. Don't try to keep up with fashion trends. It is only important to consider a few criteria:

• the appearance of the brushes;
• the length of the fingers;
• the size of the palm and the shape of the nail bed;
• the strength of the nail plates.

If the nails are strong enough, a square or rectangular shape is possible. It is better to carefully round soft plates along the free edge. But oval marigolds look harmonious only on graceful fingers. For plump and short ones, the almond shape is preferable, visually lengthening them. Slim hands will be refined with a classic rectangular shape. For any doubts and the average fullness of the hands and the length of the fingers, you can choose a round classic shape or square nails. It will be an up-to-date and win-win solution.

Of course, stiletto nails ("stiletto", "cat" claws) or the beveled shape of "lipstick" or "glasses" will not fit the minimum length of the plates. They look spectacular only with good lengths and most often on extended surfaces. Small sharp nails look comical and ridiculous.

It is quite easy to choose something from the classic forms for short nails. You need to understand which shape will emphasize the beauty of your fingers or visually make them more graceful. It is also important to learn how to care for your nails yourself. Each shape needs regular correction.

To give the plates this shape, they need to be filed perpendicular to the fingers. The beauty of such nails is their undoubted plus, and the minus is the need for frequent correction and impracticality in everyday life because of the sharp corners.

Most creative nail design solutions are offered precisely for such short and neat claws. Seasonal themes of phenomena of different seasons - leaves, palms, fruits, snowflakes, Christmas trees, and more. The sea theme of the time of vacations - vests, anchors, fish, dolphins, juicy colors of summer, neon. The jacket is relevant in different variations with inverted holes, transparent or painted in a contrasting color, stencil design, gradient, ombre.

The oval looks perfect on graceful fingers with thin brushes and short nails. To give the nails this shape, they need to be filed, copying the shape of the base, but in a mirror image. This simple shape is ideal for short inserts. It protrudes slightly above the nail bed and harmonizes with its natural shape. There are many positive aspects to this form.

• Versatility. With a short length, it will suit everyone, regardless of the type of activity. It is used equally in everyday manicure and for festive occasions. Accents are set with the help of design.
• Practicality. The absence of sharp corners does not create snags on fabrics and eliminates the possibility of accidental cuts.
• Convenience of correction. On the basis of the oval, you can create other shapes if desired.

Looks natural on short and plump fingers with wide palms and wrists. The filing of the nail along the free edge is carried out in the shape of a crescent.

It looks good on short nails, even if their surface is not in perfect condition. For damaged and weakened nails, this form is even practical and useful - it reduces fragility and the likelihood of damage. In everyday life, round marigolds are the most popular among the medical staff, creative people playing musical instruments, and employees of children's institutions.

The round shape on short nails is not good for geometric designs and large designs. It is better to choose rhinestones small and in a minimum quantity. French will not appear on them in all its glory. But all pastel shades and matte varnishes will look quite noble and decent.

It is wrong to consider the oval and almond-shaped shapes to be the same. The latter is narrower and sharper visually, in outlines very reminiscent of an almond, which is the reason for this name.

The shape of the almond is convenient for its smooth contours and the fact that it makes the manicure more long-lasting. But nevertheless, it is better to avoid serious physical work with such a manicure. But everyday affairs and simple work do not threaten to break the "almond" marigolds. The shape is especially good for short nails. The narrowed edge visually lengthens the plates and "stretches" the fingers.

Almond-shaped nails are a sign of femininity and grace. For this reason, they are always in demand in salons and are the choice of lovers of home manicure.

It should be noted that overly short nails are not allowed for this shape.The length of the nail plate should not be less than the nail bed. The main snag with the "almond" design is the correct filing of the nail along the free edge.

Nail design consists of three stages.

• Giving the plates a square shape. First, the nail is trimmed in a straight line. Better with the use of special nippers rather than nail scissors.
• Saw the square symmetrically on both sides until a trapezoid look is achieved.
• Grinding the corners of the trapezoid to an almond shape.

Various designs look good on "almond". Moreover, such marigolds are shown even to ladies with plump hands and not particularly graceful fingers. The almond shape will correct visual imperfections and add grace to the brushes. But brittle and weak nails are best made round or oval. At least for the period of treatment. Because the "almond" requires careful wearing and, albeit minimal, but the same length. Otherwise, it will not be possible to create such a beautiful shape on short nails.

If there is no time to restore weak nails, but you want to wear only this form, shellac will help out. The nails underneath will become stronger, but retain their elasticity. This means that there is every chance to grow them to maintain such an elegant shape.

It is difficult to find such hands that such an unusual shape of nails cannot give an attractive look. Fashionable manicure is a mix of oval and square, visually lengthening plump and short fingers and amazingly ennobling thin brushes.

This form is reminiscent of ballet pointe shoes, which is why it is called a ballerina. She is so graceful and flawless that she always looks festive. Even the simplest and most discreet design looks attractive on pointe shoes. And originality and brightness can be added with rhinestones, glitter and nail art. At business meetings, such marigolds are appropriate in nude tones, covered with powder or matte varnish of cold shades in gray-brown tones.

The "ballet" form on short nails looks elegant, especially with delicate openwork painting, restrained jacket and fashionable "marble" pattern or relief patterns. But dark saturated tones for the "ballerina" are not forbidden either. And if you combine them with elements of the oriental and ethnic style, you can be known as the first fashionista in the nail direction.

A wonderful choice for ballerina nails is the French smile in a classic or modified form. This is suitable for all occasions, even down the aisle. According to statistics, pointe nails are most often chosen for wedding events. At the peak of popularity - the "envelope" with a triangle on the rise, lace painting, ombre and other soft pastel designs.

For girls with thin "musical" fingers, this form is more suitable. Basically, the rectangular version is cut from a square, which is attached to rounded edges. This is an excellent solution for nails with a small narrow bed.

The disadvantage of nails with smoothed corners is that they do not fit wide-boned brushes and plump fingers. Everyone else can easily make such marigolds on their own at home.

On rectangular plates of short length, the manicure looks neat and solid. It is interesting to use a combination of several colors of the same shade on them or to highlight some marigolds in contrast.

Short rectangular nails are allowed for wearing in various fields of activity. They do not interfere with young mothers, doctors, veterinarians, laboratory assistants, cashiers, etc. They do not break due to the rounded corners and do not scratch for the same reason. This is just a godsend for women of any age. And the design for them is easy to choose according to your own taste, direction and for any event. Interesting solutions will make the "rectangular" manicure elegant if desired, or, on the contrary, neat and modest if necessary.

Judging by the reviews of the "carriers" of short nails, with the existing variety of suitable shapes and designs, you don't even want to grow the length. Girls have not only spectacular, but also comfortable manicure in fashion, because modern women of fashion are very active in everyday life. The multitude of things to do on busy weekday and weekend schedules requires neatness to be combined with attractiveness, comfort and style.
