Short nails are always versatile and neat look. They are easier to care for, they are suitable for any shape and long fingers, not whimsical to handle. Although one of the most important reasons for choosing short nails is the risk of breaking the nail. And it is also very beautiful, if you choose the right design manicure.
Types of coatings
First you need to figure out what kind of coating will be used for nails: ordinary nail polish, gel polish, or it is a gel coating, which is distinguished by its strength and durability. Regular nail polish can stay on the nail plate for up to 5 days with very careful handling. Gel Polish lasts about 2 weeks, maximum 3 weeks.
Gel nails withstand about 4-5 weeks, and with the help of the tool you can make different nail designs using stones, sculpting, rhinestones, sparkles, various accessories - the choice is very large.
Types of design
If we talk only about the color design of nails, without affecting the types of coatings, a bright manicure requires contrast. One of the easiest options is to make a bright accent on one or two fingers., make up their color, which will contrast with the rest, for example, middle and nameless.
It is worth noting that the colors should contrast, however, harmoniously combined in the overall composition. Classic color genre: red and black, yellow and mint, pink with lilac.
Gradient manicure as one type of nail design is performed with a gradation of colors from one shade to another. It looks nice and neat in a matte finish with simple transitions of two colors, or you can complicate it by adding a few more shades to enhance the color depth.
The actual are the drawings on the nails, made by hand or applied by the technique of stepping, sliders, rhinestones.
Geometrical ornament (zigzags, stripes, triangles) this year gained high popularity and does not give up their positions. The main feature of this manicure is the uniqueness of each nail of one hand, the pattern on all five fingers should not be repeated. Ideally, the geometry is drawn in black, brown or white, so the nails stand out and are not lost on the general background.
Smooth curls, abstract designs and appliqués in the form of lace are also welcome. The location of the picture may be different, there are no restrictions: on the side, on the edge of the nails, in the middle.
If we consider the bright design of short nails through the prism of a manicure coated with gel varnish or gel, a wide range of choices (rub, pigments, powder, sand, sparkles, rhinestones, stones, stucco molding) opens up. Rub in for nails is one of the modern trends of the nail industry. The material is a shiny pigmented powder for rubbing into the surface of the nail plate. The result is affected by the degree of rubbing of this pigment: from a slight shimmer to a mirror shine.
A rub is used to create a mirror manicure, and if you apply a silver, gold or copper pigment, you can get the effect of liquid metal.
By the novelties of this season can be attributed to the design of nails using confetti of various sizes, colors and shapes, although most often there are circles.With the help of translucent flickering confetti, you can add and emphasize a light discreet manicure in beige or light pink tones or make a bright accent using brighter shades.
General recommendations
Use the recommendations of professionals:
- Bright manicure is always a risk to overload the overall composition, so try to observe a balance of color contrasts and additional decor;
- use stones in manicure no more than 2 fingers of one hand, if there is a whole ensemble on each of them;
- Vertically laid rhinestones on short nails visually lengthen and make the hands more elegant;
- refrain from drawings in the form of butterflies, petals - they are considered “a relic of the past”;
- Matt manicure in light shades gets dirty faster than dark nails, consider this when selecting colors;
- when choosing a decor, be guided by the conditions that you face every day. (if you are a seamstress and work with silk, you will have to give up the convex stones; often cook, think about whether the sparkles are crumbling for food).
The undoubted advantage of a bright manicure is that it draws attention to the marigolds and their owner, however, it will look like a loser on unclean hands. Therefore, it is imperative that you follow the purity and smoothness of the skin.
Ideas for short nails
One of the universal bright designs, which is suitable for all occasions, is a pink manicure with a decor on the ring and middle finger of stones or a geometric pattern of silver color. Sometimes a boring monophonic manicure can be transformed at once in a real “bomb” by adding just a few stones. A small detail can dramatically change the overall appearance of the marigold. Classic design - holes of rhinestones. They look very expressive and elegant, even regardless of the length and shape of the marigold.
Sticking stones on a diagonal, straight lines, solitary in the area of the moons, tightly lined up over the entire area of the nail or an image of decorative bows made of rhinestones - you can spend hours choosing the choice of a new manicure from such a variety. Separately, I want to highlight the decor in the style of "liquid stones", imitating the design of sapphires for extravagant girls.
Ideas for bright manicure design are very diverse and unique, social networks are full of various offers, however, the choice is always yours.
