When the nail plates have a short length, often not covering the finger itself, this complicates any manicure. In this case, you can resort to building, ennobling not only the shape of the nails, but also making the fingers themselves elegant. However, since it is impossible to build up a lot of material on short nails, you have to beat the shape of the saw cut. The most relevant in this case is the shape of a circle, attractive with its naturalness. How to make it perfectly together with the coating, as well as what are its features and the best ideas of design, will tell the material of this article.
Features
Round nails are shorter than oval ones, although the name “circle” in this case can also be called relative. It is rather a slightly elongated circle or round nails of short length. They are distinguished by the minimum length of the regrown edge, which usually does not exceed two millimeters. The contour line of such a nail usually exactly repeats the edge of a finger.
Despite the fact that today the average length is in fashion, round marigolds are considered to be universal in terms of design, although this question is quite controversial, because such plates often do not have enough space for volumetric decor or even simple hand-painting. Strength of nails can be a counterweight here: they rarely break and do not cling to anything, even if you often work with your hands. This shape is good for women with wide palms and medium-thick fingers, because it visually ennobles them.
Due to its length, round nails are more suitable for everyday design. At the same time, depending on the characteristics of the natural nail bed, different manicure techniques are possible. For example, it can be a familiar monochrome classic, traditional and reverse french, gradient, powder, veil and even broken glass. However, choosing this or that technique, due to the short length, it is necessary to focus on choosing the right shade of varnish used.
Indeed, in one case, it will expand the nail plate, which can spoil its appearance, and in the other, on the contrary, visually stretches and ennobles. The secret will be in the length of the nail bed and its bulge. For example, flat and short nails that barely reach the level of the end of a finger cannot be painted with light tones, and especially the skin tone should be taken as the basis for skin tone. Besides the fact that the plates will appear flatter, they will visually disappear.
Stylish design ideas
Manicure for round nails is quite picky about the number of used decor and color scheme. In addition to beauty, he was distinguished by expressiveness, it is necessary to focus primarily on the texture of the coating, and then on the careful elaboration of accents. For example, a design that does not have an abundance of variegation on all ten fingers will look beautiful. Well, if there are no more than four accents. Even better, when they are two or three, because they can stand out from the background of the main technology. Fashion offers to apply to different ideas in choosing one or another design.
For example, a stylish manicure can be called, which will be:
- made with the accentuation of the cuticle area (rhinestones, broths, multi-colored confetti, sparkles);
- decorated with dosed and appropriate decor in accordance with the size of the nail plate;
- to correlate the choice of shades and themes of accents with a specific season or even a month;
- made in today's fashionable colors and harmonious combinations;
- decorated with a unique texture of the accent coating or the main background;
- be attractive and aesthetic;
- have no more than three contrasting shades in the design;
- obey a specific purpose;
- Approach certain accessories of the female wardrobe.
As for the type of coating, it is certainly matte and glossy varnishes. In addition, in the design of such nails you can use gold and silver, which makes the manicure elegant and special. If we talk about current colors for short and rounded nails, then today fashion trends suggest paying attention to the shades of wine, burgundy, marsala, coffee with milk, chocolate, eggplant and emerald. In addition, the stylish tones for round-shaped nails are white, black and light gray. All of them are perfectly combined with nude and pink shades, one of the most relevant this season.
With regards to the decor, it can be noted that today there is a demand for a variety of powders and rubbing, by means of which you can satin and metallize the initial surface, as well as give it a light touch of nacre. And if for an elongated nail bed this can be done on light colors, then it is better to decorate very short nails with dark pigments, and then with the desired rubbing, since it will look different on a dark color.
It is popular to use kamifubuki, it is fashionable to use yuki flakes in decor. However, with regards to short round nails, it is important to understand that it is undesirable to create a french or stretch gradient because they can look ugly because of insufficient length. A smile is better to make a gel or gel polish, and very thin, due to which you can visually lengthen the plate. The same rule will apply to reverse french. It is better to perform the base of the nail with a thin line, in which case it can extend from the base to the upper edge, thereby visually making an oval shape from the “circle”.

Step by Step Instructions
Before you apply the varnish, perform a hygienic manicure. To do this, the nails are treated with a means to remove the cuticle, after they are immersed in water for a few minutes. Next, they are removed, wiped, pusher lift the cuticle, simultaneously clearing the pterygium. After that, they arm themselves with a scissors and cut off everything that rose together with the cuticle and her.
An orange stick is passed around the nail plate, checking the quality of scrubbing. All that will vylazit, pruned. Give shape to the edge, using a file or scissors. In this case, a rounded edge is attached to the diagonal filing of the sides of the plate. In this case, the movement should be directed in one direction. After that, by means of a buff (grinder), the gloss is removed, the surface is treated with a dehydrator and the base is applied.
The base is spread on the surface of the nails with a thin layer, preventing its uneven spreading, then immediately placed in a lamp for drying. After that, pigmented varnish is applied over the top, covering the base over the entire area of the nail. To perform staining near the cuticle more carefully, a thin manicure brush is used in the work. Pigmented lacquer is dried in the lamp and with its incomplete overlap of the nail, the step with application and drying is repeated.
After that, the design is carried out (draw, glue the slider design, stickers), and then all the previous layers are sealed with finishing material.It is also dried in the lamp, and after half a minute after drying, the dispersion layer is removed. To do this, use a nail napkin and nail polish remover. If necessary, after the pigment cause shimmer, glitter.

All this period the design will be beautiful and fresh, as if it had just been made.
Secrets of care

For example, so that the nails do not exfoliate, it is better to cut them with scissors, trying to make a cut with one motion. Also, do not often soak and steam out your hands, because it has a negative effect on the coating and on the skin of the hands. Frequent contact with household chemicals should not be allowed, since the coating not only dims but also darkens from this.
So that the coating does not split off after a couple of days from the moment of application, it is important on the first day to protect it from contact with water.
Do not forget about the skin of the hands, because manipulation of the cuticle is stressful for her. It is necessary to lubricate the skin with a cream or treat with a special emollient oil. If the nails become thinner in the process of regular gel nail polish, they need to be periodically allowed to rest. In addition, it will restore natural strength, rest will contribute to the normal growth of marigold, which often slows down due to frequent use of hybrid varnishes.
Councils of stylists and masters
That the design was expressive and effective, despite the short length of nails, You can equip yourself with several tips from nail service professionals.
- The size of the pattern on the accent nail should be small. It is better that the print fit onto the plate completely. This will eliminate the effect of lack of nail design.
- Preference should be given to light lace and geometry. Even a laconic triangle, extending from the base of the nail to its upper edge, will look better than a massive flower or abstraction, which require more length for its expressiveness.
- On too short nails pearl lacquer will not look very nice, in this case it is better to replace it with a rub.
- Natural plate of short length is preferably camouflaged camouflage. This will allow to visually lengthen it, and also closes the uneven tone of the nail, which is often present on such nails.
- The less will be on the short round nails decor, the better. It is necessary to reduce the size of the inlay. Sometimes it is better to replace it with gold or silver glitter or broths.
- It is important to clean all the excess around the nail plate, because this is often the cause of the flow of varnish over the cuticle and side rollers.
