Sporting a perfect manicure with immaculate nails and an eye catching design can never go out of style. No matter how stunning your outfit is, nail art can make or break your look. Although they’re a small part of our body, nails have the ability to add that extra oomph to your persona.
Longer nails provide more surface area to the nail technicians to express their creativity and the same becomes difficult on short nails. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! Lesser time means less maintenance and less maintenance means short nails. Let’s face it, who has the time to make regular trips to the nail salon in case of any emergency. Short nails are easy to maintain, more practical when it comes to following your daily routine and as versatile as long nails.
Examine your nails
Before you head out to the nail spa, have a good look at your nails. Please don’t take badly bitten nails, destroyed cuticles or jagged nails to the salon. Before you plan anything, make sure you get a good manicure from the salon itself or a DIY can work too.
Striped like candy
Super cute and super easy. Candy stripes are hard to mess up. You can team up colors like pale pink, powder blue, lilac, teal or a soft plum with white. The combinations are endless, you go for the one matching your vibe.
Embrace the season
Match your nails to the season. Try a season specific design, like pineapples and lemons for summer or pretty reddish brown leaves for autumn or maybe a bright floral pattern for spring. Keep the base coat white and outline the shapes in black to really bring out the design.
The new French manicure
Add yet another twist to the classic manicure by switching the tips. Instead of painting each tip a boring white, you could paint them in different shades to quirk up the classic you could even choose two different tip shades and apply them at a diagonal angle instead of stick straight. Lastly, remember to keep the base a neutral color to really bring out your nails.
Nudes and neutrals
Keeping it simple should be your mantra if you like to try out a lot of different outfits but can’t always match your nails to them. No matter what the season, fashion or mood, they go with everything. Nudes and neutrals in pinks, beige, cream or browns are the best options. You can have them in a matte or glossy finish, depending on your look.
