Manicure on short nails: Worst designs
Manicure is often called a woman's business card for a reason. Neat nails and stylish design can complement an image, emphasize sophistication, and add charm. However, some options can literally ruin the entire look.
RBC-Ukraine tells about the types of manicure that are not suitable for short nails.
Worst nail ideas - stylish women will never do them
The list of short nail's top 5 "enemies" includes popular designs. Of course, you don't have to give them up. But if you want to have a truly "expensive" look, try something else or do these designs only on long nails.
French manicure
A classic manicure will look strange on short nails. It will "eat up" the length and visually add volume to the fingers. Moreover, nail technicians are unlikely to find it convenient to paint the perfect white stripe because usually it covers the free edge of the nail rather than its surface on the finger.

Colors too light
White and nude shades are very popular. However, they can look awry on short nails. The thing is that light colors are supposed to give perfect highlights, and they visually transform nails into "buns".

Horizontal stripes
Same situation as a French manicure. Stripes will make the nails too wide. And at a short length, this effect definitely won't add beauty. It's better to choose vertical lines that visually elongate the nail plate.

Everything at once
A design that combines everything at once: rhinestones, different colors, patterns, and even foil, is very awry. It's simply difficult for the technician to fit all the "beauty" on short nails, so it ends up looking unstylish and even sloppy.

Pointy nails
This shape is perfect if you love long nails. However, if you're not a fan of long nails, it's better to avoid this. Short nails will look cheap if made too pointed.
