Simple manicure for short nails

To look really attractive, every little thing is important. Including marigolds. Their unkempt appearance can spoil any impression, so it is important to ensure that the manicure is neat. In this case, it is not necessary that the nails were long. Short nails in modern design can look just as bright and no less advantageous.

Every girl tends to grow marigolds. But this is not always possible. Firstly, a lot depends on the state of health, provision of vitamins and minerals. Secondly, incorrectly selected materials and varnishes, as well as aggressive environmental conditions, can further aggravate the existing problems.

In addition to the possibility of a fairly quick recovery, short nails have other advantages.

• They fit every situation. The life of a modern girl is dynamic. A small length of nails will be appropriate at home and in the office, in the gym and at a party.
• Such a manicure is cost effective, it is easier to cope with it yourself.
• In addition to practicality, it is also fashionable: all modern versions of manicure are demonstrated mainly on the nails of short and medium length.
• On small nails, even the most catchy ideas look more restrained. Therefore, this length will suit lovers of bright colors.
• Long nails are easy to break. If you have to do a lot of manual labor, stop at a more modest length of nails: they will have less damage.

This option is worth considering even lovers of building: you will try something new and you can always return to a more familiar length. If someone does not like the look of short nails - You can use the techniques with which you can visually increase the length of the nail plate:

• timely and carefully remove the cuticle;
• correctly select the desired shape;
• select a suitable color or pattern (for example, longitudinal or diagonal lines).

Today it is not necessary to choose a varnish, focusing on the color of lipstick, clothing or accessories. The choice of color is influenced by the appearance of fingers and marigolds, the style followed by a woman in life or her mood. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to several nuances.

• The most win-win - nude shades. Merging with the skin, they make the fingers more elegant. This also includes delicate shades of pink, as well as white and beige.
• Successfully hide all the flaws black and close to him: anthracite, marengo, earthy. The depth of color visually narrows the nails, emphasizes the fragility of the hands. To this manicure was not boring, close shades can be applied through one.

• There are endless discussions about bright colors. Someone thinks that they are perfect, there are ardent opponents. We can say one thing: on long all shades of red look too defiant. If you take our length - choose a matte finish.
• On short nails, the coating of any saturated, rich colors is perfect, whether it is dark shades of purple and green or burgundy. Since modern fashion is built on small accents, take a closer look at one of these options: they look very elegant.
• Any pastel colors look unobtrusively.They are easy to combine with each other, create new combinations. This is an ideal option for summer, when there are a lot of bright colors around and you want tenderness.

A classic example is the French manicure: it looks appropriate on short nails. Be careful to choose colors with a mother-of-pearl effect or large glitter. Of course, it is impossible to prohibit their use, especially if this option is familiar to you. But many experts in this field consider them obsolete and recommend paying attention to more recent ideas.

Before choosing a design, it is necessary to determine which shape of the nail is most suitable in this particular case. Someone will say that on short nails such trifles are imperceptible - and it will be wrong. If you look at your hand with the perfect coverage, but something confuses you - know that the problem is in shape. On short nails, it can be square (with clear or soft corners), round or oval. A kind of oval can be more pointed up (almond-shaped), but make it harder.

Nail design is constantly changing. It's never too late to try something new.

• Especially for fans of the classics. French has changed a bit. In the new modification, the tip of the nail turns into color, or even completely decorated with rhinestones or a narrow concise pattern.
• The effect of ombre has switched to the nails and does not lose its relevance. You can admire the smooth flow of one color into another infinitely. It is important to choose two or three colors so that they are combined with each other. The transition can be both longitudinal and transverse - in the second case, the eye is attracted by an interesting game of highlights.
• Manicure for every day just with the mind can be simple. In fact, completely different techniques are used to create it. Lunar, stamping, stickers, ornament - all this will be fashionable for more than one season.

• Even short nails with sparkling coating or rhinestones can look luxurious. It is important not to use several types of decor at once, but to dwell on one thing: for example, glitter.
• Well, where do without pictures. They can perfectly fit even on short nails. These can be either full-fledged images: funny, with floral or floral motifs, or ordinary lines and points arranged in an abstract or geometric order. Try to do without horizontal lines or images. Always focus on the center of the nail when placing the elements. The combination of colors can be contrast or classic.

Manicure on nails of small length can be successfully done at home. But do not take this frivolously - incorrectly performed manipulations will not only affect the appearance of the nails, but also their condition. To get started, prepare the tools - they can be purchased separately or in a set. If you do a manicure only yourself, they should be wiped with an antibacterial solution. If you help friends - ask to bring your own.

For a classic manicure, you will need:

• coating strippers;
• nail scissors;
• files of different types;
• means for removing the cuticle (softening oil, wooden or metal stick);
• cream.

Manicure is performed step by step.

• Wash your hands. Carefully clean your nails with an appropriate tool applied to a cotton pad or tissue.
• Remove the length of the nail scissors. Carefully file the edge, giving it a planned shape.The file should move from the center to the edges so that detachment does not occur.
• To treat the cuticle can be using softening agents or a warm bath. To move it will need a wand or spoon. To cut it, you need scissors, but rather special tweezers. Use alcohol or antiseptic.
• Do not forget about polishing the entire nail - it will depend on it how smooth the coating will lie. In extreme cases, if you do not have a special file, use a regular paper napkin.
• The next step is usually a massage with creams or oils. This procedure is not only pleasant, but also useful: it improves blood circulation and, therefore, contributes to the healing of nails. After the massage, the marigolds should be wiped with the same means with which you removed the old varnish.

It is never too late to learn how to paint your nails correctly. Always apply the base with the first coat. Instead, you can apply any of the multifunctional varnishes: they not only protect, but also strengthen, accelerate growth and solve many other problems at the same time. If you plan to make the nail monotonous, use one of two schemes.

• You need to start from the bottom of the central part, then draw a line through the center to the end and alternately fill the remaining parts from the side upwards.
• Moving to the bottom, paint over the side, then repeat the same with the other side of the nail. At the end it remains to fill the center.

There should not be many smears, otherwise the work will be done carelessly. Remember that some defects can be fixed. The main thing is the experience that will help you to do everything quickly and accurately from the first time. To obtain a rich color layers should be several. To make the finish shade brighter, the first layer may be white.

With the help of the schemes below, you can quickly master several options for a simple manicure.

• With stripes. To perform it, you need strips on a glue base, you can buy them or make them yourself from scotch tape. The essence of this technique is simple - apply a background layer, dry, then paste the strips (in accordance with your plan) and paint it with a different color varnish. After drying, remove the adhesive strip. It remains to apply a fixative. There are decorative stickers in the form of stripes - they are glued on an already painted nail. To keep them longer, finishing varnish is required.
• With gradient. To begin, apply a gel to protect the skin around the perimeter of the nail, so that you do not manually clean it later. For a short claw, you'll need two matching colors. On the nail fully apply one of them (preferably lighter). Then we take a cosmetic sponge or a regular sponge (work with it will look less neat due to the presence of large pores). We apply varnishes on the sponge so that they overlap a little. Then we transfer a varnish on a nail. This action can be repeated several times to achieve the desired effect. Remove protection and fix.

• Space design is performed according to a similar scenario. Only in this case, the varnish is shaded with a sponge directly on the nail. Flowers, despite the size of the nail, it takes much more.
• With sparkles. This option of nail polish gives you a lot of imagination. It is done very simply. Glitters are applied to a monochromatic layer of varnish with a brush, a fixer is applied on top. The main secret is precisely the application of glitter: over the entire surface, only along the upper edge, mixing several colors.

And maybe it will be the new trend in the field of manicure.
