Glitter manicure for short nails
Modern women of fashion are not limited in their choice of nail designs. Aesthetically and attractively, it is possible to design not only long, but also short ladies' nails. A variety of coatings look great on them, from monochromatic to multi-colored. The article discusses in detail how you can decorate short nails with charming glitter polish.
Types of sequins
Glitter polish is the perfect solution for both long and short ladies' nails. Such a manicure looks neat and stylish, making the nail plates more well-groomed. It is worth noting that glitters in modern varnishes are different. The beauty and effectiveness of the final manicure depends on their type.
First of all, all glitters in varnishes differ in color. They can be completely different. For example, golden, silver, blue, red, pink, purple, blue and green options look spectacular and bright. Much depends on the main background, because not all glitter varnishes are transparent.
Sparkles also differ in size. They are in varnishes:
- small;
- large;
- average.
As for the shape of such elements, the most popular options are:
- square;
- hex;
- round;
- in the form of stars.
In addition, glitter comes in transparent and opaque. Both of these options look attractive and look great on short nail plates. Transparent sequins look more modest and restrained, so they easily fit even into a business look.
Small sequins can be produced in these shapes.
- Powdered. There are ultra-fine sparkles with a mother-of-pearl effect or holographic, sold in jars.
- Powder. Small friable glitter or dry glitter - sold in bottles, jars or special bags.
- Large sequins sold in jars or flasks. Presented in the form of glitter or kamifubuki. It is convenient to apply them to the nail plate using small tweezers or a special wooden instrument with a sharp end. Large wet glitter is sold only as a clear base varnish. There are no wet glitters.
There are also wet specimens, presented in the form of glitter or present in a transparent varnish.
Design options
Glitter manicure has a special charm. There is a wide variety of designs associated with these varnishes. Let's take a look at the most popular ones.

The base layer can be beige, milky or cream - there are a lot of options. Sequins can also be of any color and shape.
Ombre
This is another of the popular types of manicure, which is chosen by many owners of short nails. The ombre looks especially bright and fresh in the form of a shimmering design with a scattering of sparkles. Often, at first, such a manicure is done using simple varnishes, and a transparent layer with glitter is applied on top of them. This design looks very interesting and fashionable, which makes it insanely popular.
Lunar
When performing this original manicure, the first thing to do is paint over the entire nail plate with base varnish, after which it is allowed to dry completely. Next, take a piece of paper, make a hole in it using a hole punch and place it on the nail in such a way that the hole made coincides with the border of the marigold hole. Next, you just need to paint over the highlighted area with shiny varnish. If everything is done to the maximum accurately and correctly, then the result will exceed all expectations.

It should be noted that such a manicure is not only quick and easy, but also durable. Various damages, cracks and chips are almost invisible on it. It is not uncommon for women of fashion to turn to this design while on vacation. If annoying defects appear on the first layer, they can be hidden without any problems by applying a second layer of the same varnish.
