According to the designers of nail art, you can create real works of art on short nails. The main thing is to follow a few simple recommendations.

• Try to avoid too bright hues. The only exception is a summer manicure - in all other cases, these colors look ridiculous.
• Do not abuse the decor - if you use rhinestones, then their number should be minimal, but they themselves should be small. If you intend to make drawings, then try to make them not too expressive.

Do not forget also that each has its own “short length” and how the decor looks, depends not only on the equipment used, but also on the shape of the hands and the structure of the fingers - that is why the choice of design should be approached individually.

Let us dwell on the most popular techniques for decorating short nails.

French is a classic of nail design, which has always been relevant for more than a decade.

The main such coating is a contrast strip on the very edge of the nail in the form of a “smile”. In the traditional design, a nude shade is applied as a base, and the edge is drawn in white. However, in recent years, more daring combinations and smiles have come into vogue and often paint with bright hues: yellow, blue, orange, blue and many others. If you wish, you can do a reverse french on the nails, which is also called a moon manicure. In this case, most of the nail is covered with one color, and the semicircle near the very base - moonula - is painted with any other. This coating looks very elegant - it is no coincidence that this technique can often be found on models of glossy magazines.

Matte manicure has recently become fashionable, but at the same time - very fast. To date, it is precisely these shades preferred by many well-known women of fashion.

On short nails, designers recommend using the following design options:

• matte sapphire manicure in one tone;
• dark cherry finish with glossy jacket;
• frame manicure - in this case, the main part of the decor is matte, and the frame is drawn with glossy varnish.

The most successful solutions for short nails are:

• Emerald gloss in the style of reverse french;
• "Glass" coating;
• White-pink glossy gradient.

On short nails are allowed to use decorative items. The only condition is the moderation of such compositions, since congestion with glitter, drawings and patterns in this case looks ridiculous.

Rhinestones are most often used as a supplement to a monochromatic coating, usually no more than 2-3 beads are used and placed on one or two nails.

Other decor options can be:

• varnished nails are decorated with rhinestones on the bottom edge of the nail plate;
• Varnishes of delicate shades are complemented with small rhinestones located along the entire length of the outer edge of the marigold.

Alternatives to rhinestones are sparkles, however, you need to be extremely careful with them - an excess of flicker visually shortens the nails, so try using one of the recommended techniques:

• the design of the sequined smile french;
• easy spraying on one nail on the base color of the coating;
• highlighting a vertical or horizontal line on the nail.

The translucent volume pattern on short nails looks very stylish, it creates a feeling of lightness and elegance, while not overloading the decor and makes the manicure more delicate and unusual.

However, you can use the usual drawings, most often applied:

• geometric figures in black edging, usually such a coating is painted in gray-beige shades;
• bitmaps on white lacquer.

This year, such a decor element as sand has come into fashion. He looks very nontrivial and has not had time to annoy women. With the help of decorative sand on the nail create the most original patterns.
