Short nails are always convenient, they look neat and beautiful, if you choose the right manicure. Not all girls can afford long nails due to the specifics of work, dress code, outdoor activities, and inconvenience to wear. However, beautiful nails want to have everything without exception.

The only question is the choice of color and design, and each time it becomes a problem before the next procedure. It seems that the world was divided into two, no - three tents when choosing a manicure: calm nude, bright red or pink and dark shades of varnish. Here we look at the types of dark manicure, taking into account short nails.

Recently, the most trendy dark shades are: emerald, chocolate, gray, plum, electrician, marsala. These are noble colors, look elegant in glossy and matte finish. They perfectly emphasize light skin of hands, color saturation and attract a lot of looks.

A dark manicure can be worn with anything if it is plain. This is a very versatile choice, suitable for office work, everyday life, for a romantic evening. And elegantly complements the bow in casual style. For those who choose a restrained style of clothing, dark nails will add a spirit of rebellion, but will not contradict the bounds of decency.

General advice in the selection of design is given by professionals in the nail industry.

At the heart of such a manicure there is always a dark shade of varnish. Next, the choice is yours: leave the nails solid in color, and can dilute them with a bright pattern, or add decor there in the form of sparkles, rubs, stones, confetti.

Dizzy from the variety, as various techniques can be mixed, however, let's try to structure all the ideas.

• Lunar manicure in black color. This technique highlights the area under the cuticle, repeating the anatomical lines of the nail plate. Surprisingly, he took root so much that it is now considered a classic of the genre at the level of French manicure. Decorating holes with gold foil or sparkles, stones makes the image more interesting.

• Gradient. The transition from one shade to another in color gradation from black to electric or emerald. Horizontal transition visually lengthens the nail plate, it is used on short nails. And vertical - shortens, so it is more common on long nails.

• Geometric design. The main feature of this manicure is the uniqueness of each nail, the pattern on all five fingers should not be repeated in a row.

• The effect of cracked varnish. Simple manicure, it looks great as part of a manicure (that is, on several fingers), and completely on all nails. It is applied to the main color of the nails and, when dried, begins to curl up without interacting with the lower layer of varnish. These crackers exist in different colors, when choosing, you must take into account which varnish it will be combined with. For example, the base is black or blue, the cracker is silver, gold, white.

• Flowers on a black background. Can frame around the perimeter of the nails, and can lean against the edge of the corner. Applied by stamping technique or hand-drawn.

• Cat's eye - fascinate with its flicker and glare. Ideal for short nails, especially if used accented.

• Rubbing. This is a fine powder of various colors, which is rubbed onto the nail. If we talk about manicure in a dark color, then the rub should be used on one or two nails. Depending on the amount, it can be achieved from a pretty flicker to a specular sheen or liquid metal effect.

• Modernized french manicure. It looks amazing in a single color: the base is matte, the smile is glossy. Dark shades stand out well in this technique, while light shades are lost against the general background.

• Striped manicure, most often gold or silver. Create a perfect accent on the nails by visually lengthening a short plate.

• Rhinestones and stones, which are at the peak of popularity in recent years. Spread out on a hole in the ensemble of large and small stones. Or they line up one or two things on each finger.

• Broken glass. The ribbons cut into small pieces are arranged in random order and are enclosed in a layer of varnish, creating the effect of broken glass.They can be of various colors, look best on a dark background. Most suitable for young people caring for the skin of pens, otherwise it looks messy.

• Animal print. This season, leopard, tiger, snake prints are returning to fashion. The zebra is becoming popular again. They are harmoniously combined with nails of black or chocolate color.

• Sliders - salvation for nail masters. Now they don’t need to draw small sheep or flowers by hand, write calligraphy words, because there are films that overlap the entire surface of the nail plate with a wide variety of images.

• Kamifubuki, or more simply confetti, has become a new fashion trend this year and is gaining popularity among different age categories of women.

• Velvet manicure with the use of special coarse powder, which is most often called sand. Nail coating becomes more voluminous. With careful use of such powder in dark colors, it will give the nails a more sophisticated look. And with this powder they create a “knitted” nail design in the form of pigtails, weaving. It looks best in light shades, but the use of such a technique in dark colors is not ruled out.

• Modeling on the nails. The not very popular type of decor for nails, however, has the right to exist in the form of a convex ornament or flowers, creating a three-dimensional effect. Suitable for decorative purposes for short-term wear.

• Frame. The essence of this manicure is that the nail is in a frame of contrasting color. It does not require additional decor, looks great on short nails with rounded corners with a dark color of varnish at the base and a bright frame in the frame.

In addition to the fact that now naturalness is returning to fashion in the form of light and translucent shades of varnish, the brown color does not interfere with becoming again relevant. Most demanded chocolate, coffee, brown with an admixture of burgundy. The combination of several brown shades from light to dark enhances the saturation of the manicure and gives depth. For example, in a combination of chocolate color with light beige in different variations: French manicure, frame, patterns or geometric ornament.
