You can buy laconic stripes or original floral arrangements, imitation of lace and nets, elegant contrasting patterns for painting - the choice is huge.
High-quality and correctly selected sliders can look as if they were drawn by an experienced master.
Such instances can be completely unlike stickers. Sliders do not need to glue absolutely on all nails. You can select one or two accent nails and decorate with stickers only them, leaving the rest of the plates only painted with varnish.

Foil or metal paper is a spectacular decorative insert of women's manicure. She looks amazing on both long and short nails. A manicure with such a “chip” is distinguished by a very original and extraordinary appearance, which easily fits into many images and is created without unnecessary difficulties.

Matte nail coatings have been popular over the past few years due to their stylish yet discreet look. This year, the trend is matte finish with a unique 3D effect.

An elegant classic jacket will never leave the fashion line. He looks very gentle, stylish and elegant. Suitable manicure for both long and short nails. It is considered universal, because it fits seamlessly into almost any image.
Classic jacket is often used as a delicate wedding manicure. In the ensemble with a white dress, he looks simply amazing, emphasizing the charming and feminine image of the bride.
French is often combined with other beautiful manicure techniques. There can be many types of execution.
Lunar
Lunar manicure is one of the original varieties of the jacket. In another way it is called a French vice versa. If in the classical version the free edge of the nail plate is coated with white or colored varnish, then the part bordering on the cuticle is covered here. It follows that an interesting and unusual moon manicure is intended to emphasize only the indicated half of the marigold. Often such a "smile" has an expressive contrasting color. On short nails, this manicure looks very unusual. It is applied quite simply. Properly prepare a nail - this is one of the most important stages of all work. A lady with a similar nail design just will not go unnoticed by others.
With rhinestones
If you want to give the nails a real radiance and a unique sheen, then you can turn to decorating manicure with charming rhinestones. These little pebbles look interesting and play wonderful in the light. They can be applied to manicures in a wide variety of colors - dark, pastel, bright, and light. You can upload crystals in various ways. It is possible to lay out some shape from them, simply cover part of the nail plate or the entire plate on one of the accent nails.
If we are talking about short nails, then here with rhinestones, as well as with colorful pebbles, one should be careful. Do not overload with them a small nail plate.
Covering them completely with all the nails is also not recommended - such a design and on long nails will look clumsy.
Gradient
This is another insanely popular design option for female marigolds. Many young ladies choose this particular design, because it has a very original and eye-catching look. The gradient is also called ambre. The technique of its execution involves staining the surface of the nails with a discreet and gradual color transition, while the colors can be used in a variety of colors. At first glance it may seem that it is very difficult to form such a manicure, but in fact it is not.
Decorating nails with a gradient is not difficult, does not take much time. Many ladies adapted themselves to perform it at home on their own.
The most original and interesting are such color combinations in the gradient:
- mint and pink;
- yellow and blue;
- white and red.
When performing such a unique nail design, it is permissible to refer not only to monophonic palettes. To revive the manicure, making it more “deep” and expressive, you can turn to the game of shades. For example, smoothly turning pale pink into a dark shade of juicy fuchsia will look amazing. It is advisable to resort to such design ideas for girls. It is acceptable to adorn the gradient with such details as charming sparkles or shining rhinestones. You can refer to these jewelry and only with respect to the accent nail (one or two).
There is only one important rule that is better to observe - do not overdo it with the scenery.
With geometric patterns
Drawings depicting various geometric shapes are a real novelty of nail art, which has become an insanely popular trend that has been fallen in love by many fashionistas. For the image on the nail plates of these figures, it is necessary to draw strips that gradually transform into full-fledged figures of different colors and sizes. It can be squares, and triangles, and rhombuses. The thickness of the strips, as well as their location, do not obey the rules. Then you decide what to do best.
To draw smooth and neat stripes, you need to use a special thin brush. They are sold in specialized stores. It’s convenient to work with them, but you need to act very carefully.
If you are new to such matters and have never encountered such procedures, you can use special stencils. With their help it will turn out to form beautiful strips.
If there are no stencils at hand, then you can take a simple tape, cut neat stripes out of it. They are arranged in the required sequence, and the remaining surfaces are painted with different colors. Of course, this method may not be very convenient when designing short nails. To draw all the new lines, you will need to wait each time until the next applied layer of varnish is completely dry. Design with geometric shapes can be made using different colors. Combinations are very diverse.
On short nails, both monochrome and contrasting, colorful or delicate pastel combinations will look interesting.
Design options with drawings.
Many young ladies prefer a more interesting design using various patterns instead of plain nail coatings or color combinations. Many fashionistas believe that such decorative solutions are not suitable for short nails. And again - this opinion is fundamentally wrong. On small nail plates, you can realize the most daring design ideas using a variety of drawings. However, most of them are quite simple and affordable in execution. The simplest and most easily executed drawings are multi-colored strips on the surface across the nail.
It’s not necessary to try to make them perfectly even. Stripes can vary in colors and shades, resulting in an interesting and discreet design.
There are dots on the nail plates. Dots or dotter is a very useful thing in everyday life. It is a metal wand with a tip equipped with a small ball. It makes it possible to draw on the nails minimalistic or very bright and original patterns collected from cute tidy dots. The simplest dots drawing is a few dots placed next to each other closer to the cuticle. To implement the specified nail design does not need much free time, but it will be able to emphasize your desire to follow the latest fashion trends. If you can’t accurately draw the dots on the nails, you can apply them to the base in a chaotic manner. Colors of "peas" in this case may be different.
Using this technique, you can create a design similar to the French. So, you can separate the free edge of the nail or cuticle with the help of neatly spaced points. They can be black or color. There are a lot of options for this design. Dots can be set on different backgrounds.
Very beautiful and gentle on the nails look drawings in the form of flowers. Such decorations can emphasize the charm of short, well-groomed nails. Instead of flowers, many ladies prefer drawings in the form of juicy colorful fruits. No less original and stylish look drawings of stars or hearts. Many of these decorations can be drawn on their own using stencils or a thin brush. If you do not want to spend time on such a design, then you can contact an experienced master.
Drawings imitating lace look very beautiful on ladies' nails. It may be white or black. Contrasting images are more expressive and can look great on any background color.
It is not necessary to supplement all short nails with lace compositions. One accent nail can be designed this way.
Complex patterned lines of different colors look beautiful on short nails. Often they are supplemented with stucco. The result is truly luxurious and elegant design solutions that emphasize the impeccable taste of their owner. However, moderation must be observed. The same stucco molding should not be too much, otherwise the design will seem clumsy and cheap. Molded parts should not be too large, especially in combination with patterned images on short nails.
