Form Options for Short Nails

Even if natural nails cannot be grown long, this is not at all a cause for frustration. Modern nail aesthetics involves many options for effective manicure on short nails. In addition, the short length is more popular due to the fact that it is allowed for employment in various fields.

No matter how fashionable the manicure is, if the shape of the nails is chosen inappropriate, then it will not look beautiful. The natural beauty of hands is in fashion. Therefore, it is important to choose the most suitable form for your nail plates. Do not try to comply with fashion trends. It is only important to consider several criteria:

• appearance of brushes;
• finger length;
• palm size and shape of the nail bed;
• the strength of the nail plates.

If the nails are strong enough, a square or rectangular shape is possible. Soft plates on the free edge are best grounded. But oval marigolds look harmonious only on graceful fingers. For chubby and short almond form is preferred, visually lengthening them. Classic rectangular shape gives feminine sophistication to thin hands. With any doubt and the average fullness of the arms and the length of the fingers, you can choose a round classic shape or square nails. This will be a relevant and win-win solution.

Of course, stiletto nails ("stilletto", "cat" claws) or a beveled form of "lipstick" or "glass" will not fit the minimum length of the plates. They look spectacular only with a good length and most often on extended surfaces. Small sharp nails look comical and ridiculous.

Choosing something from the classic forms for short nails is quite simple. You need to understand what shape will emphasize the beauty of the fingers or visually make them elegant. In addition, it is important to learn how to care for your nails yourself. Each form needs regular correction.

To give the plates such a shape, they need to be filed perpendicular to the fingers. The beauty of such nails is their undoubted plus, and the minus is the need for frequent correction and impracticality in everyday life due to sharp corners.

Most creative nail design solutions are offered specifically for such short and neat claws. Seasonal themes of the phenomena of different seasons - leaves, palm trees, fruits, snowflakes, Christmas trees and more. The marine theme of the holidays is vests, anchors, fish, dolphins, juicy colors of summer, neon. French in different variations with upturned holes, transparent or painted in contrasting colors, screen design, gradient, ombre is relevant.

The oval looks perfect on graceful fingers with thin hands and short nails. To give the nails such a shape, they need to be filed, copying the shape of the base, but in a mirror image. This simple shape is ideal for short plates. She slightly protrudes above the nail bed and is in harmony with its natural outline. This form has many positive aspects.

• Universality. With a short length will suit everyone, regardless of occupation. Used equally in everyday manicure and for festive events. Emphasis is placed with the help of design.
• Practicality. The absence of pointed corners does not create clutches on the tissues and excludes the possibility of accidental cuts.
• Convenience correction. Based on the oval, other shapes can be created if desired.

Looks naturally on short and full fingers with wide palms and wrists. Sawing the nail along the free edge is carried out in the shape of a crescent.

On short nails, it looks good, even if their surface is not in perfect condition. For damaged and weakened nails, this form is even practical and useful - it reduces brittleness and the likelihood of damage. In everyday life, round nails are the most popular among medical staff, creative people playing musical instruments, and employees of children's institutions.

The round shape on short nails is not too good for geometric patterns and large patterns. It is better to choose rhinestones small and in a minimum quantity. French will not appear on them in all its glory. But all pastel shades and matte varnishes will look quite noble and decent.

It is incorrect to consider the oval and almond-shaped forms to be similar. The latter is narrower and sharper visually, in outline very similar to an almond nut, which was the reason for this name.

The shape of the almond is convenient with smooth contours and the fact that makes manicure more durable. Nevertheless, it is better to avoid serious physical work with such a manicure. But ordinary affairs and simple work do not threaten the breakdown of the "almond" nails. Particularly good form for short nails. The narrowed edge visually lengthens the plate and “stretches” the fingers.

Almond-shaped nails are a sign of femininity and grace. For this reason, they are always in demand in the salons and are the choice of lovers of home manicure.

It should be noted that excessively short nails for this form are not allowed.The length of the nail plate should be no less than the nail bed. The main catch with the “almond” design is the proper file cutting of the nail along the free edge.

Making nails consists of three stages.

• Squaring the plates. First, the nail is cut in a straight line. Better with the help of special nippers, rather than nail scissors.
• Sawing up the square is symmetrical on both sides until a trapezoid shape is achieved.
• Grinding the corners of the trapezoid to form an almond.

On the “almond” various designs look advantageous. Moreover, such nails are shown even to ladies with puffy arms and not particularly graceful fingers. The amygdala will correct visual imperfections and give grace to the hands. But brittle and weak nails are best done round or oval. At least for the period of treatment. Because the "almond" requires careful wearing and although minimal, but the same length. Otherwise, it will not be possible to create such a beautiful shape on short nails.

If there is no time to restore weak nails, but you want to wear only this form, shellac will help out. The nails under it will become stronger, but retain elasticity. So, there is every chance to grow them to maintain such an elegant form.

It is difficult to find such hands that such an unusual form of nails cannot give an attractive look. Fashionable manicure is a mix of oval and square, visually lengthening the plump and short fingers and amazingly ennoblement of thin brushes.

This is a form reminiscent of the ballet pointes, which is why it is called a ballerina. She is so graceful and impeccable that she always looks festive. Even the simplest and most discreet design looks attractive on pointe shoes. And originality and brightness can be added with rhinestones, glitter and nail art. At business meetings, such nails are appropriate in nude tones, coated with powder or matte varnish of cold shades in gray-brown tones.

The “ballet” form on short nails looks elegant, especially with delicate openwork painting, restrained jacket and fashionable “marble” pattern or relief patterns. But dark saturated tones for the "ballerina" are not forbidden. And if you combine them with elements of oriental and ethnic style, you can be considered the first fashionista in the nail direction.

A wonderful choice for the nails of the “ballerina” form is the French “smile” in a classic or modified form. It is suitable for all occasions, even for sending under the crown. According to statistics, for wedding events, pointe nails are chosen most often. At the peak of popularity - an "envelope" with a triangle on take-off, lace painting, ombre and other soft pastel designs.

For girls with thin “musical” fingers, this form is more suitable. In fact, the rectangular version is cut out from the square, which is attached to the rounded edges. This is a great solution for nails with a small narrow bed.

The disadvantage of nails with smooth corners is that they do not fit wide-brushed hands and puffy fingers. Everyone else can easily make such nails on their own at home.

On rectangular plates of short length, the manicure looks neat and solid. It is interesting to use a combination of several colors of the same shade on them or to highlight some nails in contrast.

Short rectangular nails are allowed to be worn in different fields of activity. They do not interfere with young mothers, doctors, veterinarians, laboratory assistants, cashiers, etc.They do not break due to rounded corners and do not scratch for the same reason. This is just a godsend for women of any age. And the design for them is easy to choose according to your own taste, direction and for any event. Interesting solutions will make the “rectangular” manicure elegant if desired, or, on the contrary, neat and modest as necessary.

Judging by the reviews of the "carriers" of short nails, with the existing variety of suitable forms and designs, one does not even want to grow length. Girls in fashion are not only effective, but also comfortable manicure, because modern women of fashion are very active in everyday life. A lot of different things in busy schedules of weekdays and weekends requires combining accuracy with attractiveness, comfort and style.
