Some women believe that a beautiful manicureis possible only on long nails. Some try to grow them naturally, while others seek help from beauty salons and do extensions. In both cases, a woman faces a number of problems. If by nature the nails are brittle and thin, it is very difficult to grow them. And after extensions, it will take more than one month to strengthen the structure of the nail, and strengthening agents are not cheap. So why do we need all these tricks? Why waste your time, resort to expensive procedures, if short nails can become a source of pride for their owner? Even capricious fashion has met us halfway - this season, only short and neat nails are relevant! In this article, we will dispel all your doubts and tell you how to make a beautiful manicure on short nails, how to care for it, how to choose the perfect combination of colors and textures.
Main features of short manicure
- Short marigolds are practical and convenient. You will undoubtedly agree with this fact. In addition, many men prefer that their women "wear" a neat manicure, rather than a long cat's nails;
- A short manicure requires as much care as a long manicure. Do not neglect the salt baths, take care of the cuticle, watch for the shape of the nails;
- Never use metal nail files! They only spoil the structure of the nail plate. Buy the tool in professional stores, then it's easy to do the manicure at home;
- In order for your manicure to look harmonious,choose the right shape for the nails. Today there is a square in fashion, but it is not worth following the publications in glossy magazines blindly. Remember, the square shape is suitable only for those girls who have thin and long fingers. If you do not belong to such, choose a classic oval;
- Do not forget to look after the cuticle. You do not need to trim it, just push it away with an orange stick. You can buy a special oil that slows the growth of the cuticle, the more often you use it, the less it will grow;
- Remember, the short nails look great dark and bright nail polish. Do not be afraid to experiment;
- If you want to visually extend the marigold, use as vertical vertical patterns;
- Girls who have too wide a nail plate should be applied a varnish not on all surface, and only on the center, having left sides unpainted;
- On short nails, you can not draw too large or too small drawings - stick to the middle; The same goes for decorating nails;
- When choosing a design, it is necessary to limit 2-3 shades of varnish, otherwise the manicure will be too variegated;
- Acrylic molding and other forms of volumetric design are excluded. On short nails, this decoration looks too vulgar;
- To properly select a picture, carefullytake a closer look at the shape of your nails. Oval and almond-shaped nails perfectly look floral motifs, made in light colors. But for a square shape, dark lacquer and graphic or abstract drawings are best;
- Do not discount the classic French. It is suitable for any shape of nail.
