Simple manicure for short nails

To look really attractive, any detail is important. Including marigolds. Their groomed appearance can spoil any impression, so it is important to ensure that the manicure is accurate. In this case, it is not necessary that the nails are long. Short nails in a modern design can look just as bright and no less advantageous.

Each girl seeks to grow marigolds. But this does not always succeed. Firstly, a lot depends on the state of health, provision of vitamins and minerals. Secondly, improperly selected materials and varnishes, as well as aggressive environmental conditions, can further aggravate existing problems.

In addition to the possibility of a fairly quick recovery, short nails have other advantages.

• They are suitable for any situation. The life of a modern girl is dynamic. A small length of nails will be appropriate at home and in the office, in the gym and at a party.
• Such a manicure is cost-effective, it is easier to deal with it on your own.
• In addition to practicality, this is also fashionable: all modern manicure options are shown mainly on short and medium length nails.
• On small nails, even the most catchy ideas look more restrained. Therefore, lovers of bright colors will suit this particular length.
• Long nails are easy to break. If you have to do a lot of manual labor, stop at a more modest length of the nails: they will have less damage.

This option should be considered even by lovers of building: you will try something new and always be able to return to a more familiar length. If someone doesn't like the look of short nails - you can use the techniques with which you can visually increase the length of the nail plate:

• promptly and accurately remove the cuticle;
• competently choose the right form;
• select the appropriate color or pattern (for example, longitudinal or diagonal lines).

Today it is not necessary to select a varnish, focusing on the color of lipstick, clothes or accessories. The choice of color is influenced by the appearance of the fingers and marigolds, the style that a woman adheres to in life or her mood. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to several nuances.

• The most win-win - nude shades. Merging with the skin, they make the fingers more elegant. This also includes the delicate shades of pink, as well as white and beige.
• Successfully hide all the shortcomings of black and close to it: anthracite, marengo, earthy. The color depth will visually narrow the nails, emphasize the fragility of the hands. So that such a manicure is not boring, close shades can be applied through one.

• There are endless discussions about vibrant colors. Someone believes that they are perfect, there are ardent opponents. One thing can be said: on long, all shades of red look too defiant. If we take our length - choose a matte finish.
• On short nails, the coating of any saturated, rich colors, whether dark shades of purple and green or burgundy, looks perfect. Since modern fashion is built on minor accents, take a look at one of these options: they look very elegant.
• Any pastel tones look unobtrusively. They are easy to combine with each other, create new combinations. This is ideal for the summer, when there are a lot of bright colors and you want tenderness.

A classic example is French manicure: it looks appropriate on short nails. Choose colors with a mother-of-pearl effect or large sparkles with care. Of course, it is impossible to prohibit their use, especially if this option is familiar to you. But many experts in this field consider them obsolete and recommend paying attention to more recent ideas.

Before choosing a design, it is necessary to determine which shape of the nail is most suitable in this particular case. Someone will say that on small nails such trifles are invisible - and will be wrong. If you look at your hand with a perfect coating, but something bothers you, be aware that the problem is in shape. On short nails, it can be square (with clear or soft corners), round or oval. A variety of oval can be more pointed up (almond-shaped), but make it more difficult.

Nail design is constantly changing. It's never too late to try something new.

• Especially for lovers of the classics. French has changed a bit. In the new modification, the tip of the nail turns into a colored, or even completely framed by rhinestones or a narrow laconic pattern.
• The ombre effect has passed on to the nails and does not lose its relevance. The smooth overflow of one color into another can be admired endlessly. It is important to choose two or three colors well so that they combine with each other. The transition can be either longitudinal or transverse - in the second case, the eye attracts an interesting game of glare.
• Manicure for every day only in appearance can be simple. In fact, completely different techniques are used to create it. Lunar, stamping, stickers, ornament - all this will be fashionable for more than one season.

• Even short nails with a sparkling coating or rhinestones can look luxurious. It is important here not to use several types of decor at once, but to dwell on one thing: for example, glitter.
• Well, and where without drawings. They can perfectly fit even on short nails. This can be as full-fledged images: funny, with floral or floral motifs, as well as ordinary lines and dots arranged in an abstract or geometric order. Try to avoid horizontal lines or images. Always focus on the center of the nail when positioning the elements. The combination of colors can be contrasting or classic.

Manicure on nails of small length can be successfully done at home. But do not take this lightly - improperly performed manipulations will not only affect the appearance of the nails, but also their condition. To get started, prepare the tools - they can be purchased separately or in a kit. If you do manicure only for yourself, they should be wiped with an antibacterial solution. If you help friends - ask to bring your own.

To conduct a classic manicure you will need:

• coating remover;
• nail scissors;
• files of different types;
• cuticle removers (softening oil, wooden or metal stick);
• cream.

Manicure is performed step by step.

• Wash your hands. Thoroughly clean your nails using the appropriate product, applied to a cotton pad or napkin.
• Remove the length of the nails with scissors. Gently file the edge, giving it the planned shape. The file should move from the center to the edges so that no detachment occurs.
• The cuticle can be treated with emollients or a warm bath. To move it, you will need a stick or spoon. To cut it, you need scissors, and preferably special tweezers. Use alcohol or an antiseptic.
• Do not forget about polishing the entire nail - it will depend on it how smoothly the coating will lie. In extreme cases, if you do not have a special nail file, use a regular paper towel.
• The next step is usually a massage with creams or oils. This procedure is not only pleasant, but also useful: it improves blood circulation, which means it helps to improve the health of the nails. After massage, the nails should be wiped with the same tool that you removed the old varnish.

It's never too late to learn how to paint your nails properly. Always apply the foundation in the first coat. Instead, you can apply any of the multifunctional varnishes: they not only protect, but also strengthen, accelerate growth and solve many other problems at the same time. If you plan to make the nail plain, use one of two schemes.

• You need to start from the bottom of the central part, then draw a line in the center to the end and alternately fill the remaining parts from the side in the direction from the bottom up.
• Moving from the bottom, paint over the side, then repeat the same with the other side of the nail. In conclusion, it remains to fill the center.

There should not be many strokes, otherwise the work will be done inaccurately. Remember that some defects can be corrected. The main thing is the experience that will help you do everything quickly and accurately the first time. To obtain a saturated color of the layers should be several. To make the finish shade brighter, the first layer may be white.

With the help of the schemes below, you can quickly master several options for simple manicure.

• With stripes. For its implementation, adhesive-based strips are needed, they can be bought or made from tape itself.The essence of this technique is simple - apply a background layer, dry, then stick strips (according to your plan) and paint with a varnish of a different color. After drying, remove the adhesive strips. It remains to apply a fixative. There are also decorative stickers in the form of stripes - they are glued to an already painted nail. To keep them longer, topcoat is required.
• With a gradient. First, apply gel to protect the skin around the nail, so that you don’t have to clean it by hand later. For a short marigold, you will need two suitable colors. On the nail completely apply one of them (preferably lighter). Then we take a cosmetic sponge or an ordinary sponge (with it, the work will look less neat due to the presence of large pores). We apply varnishes on the sponge so that they overlap slightly. Then we transfer the varnish to the nail. This action can be repeated several times to achieve the desired effect. Remove protection and secure.

• Space design follows a similar scenario. Only in this case, the varnish is shaded with a sponge directly on the nail. Colors, despite the size of the nail, require much more.
• With sparkles. This option for nail polish gives scope to your imagination. It is done very simply. On a monochromatic layer of varnish with a brush, spangles are applied, a fixative is applied on top. The main secret consists in applying sequins: over the entire surface, only along the top edge, mixing several colors.

And maybe it will become a new trend in the field of manicure.
