Design Nuances
There are several rules that should be followed when choosing a design for short-cut nails.

Be wary of white and yellow varnishes: they can give an unhealthy look to the skin.
Secondly, do not choose too overloaded ornaments and drawings, and also use abundant decorative rhinestones and sparkles. Give preference to the vertical and diagonal in the drawings, the best option is strips. Origami drawings are no less fashionable now.

The most successful shades for the layout for the gradient are:
- mint and pink;
- pale yellow and blue;
- scarlet and white.
Rhinestones, sparkles and powder are appropriate on the gradient in a small amount. For example, small decorative elements on the nail of one of the fingers will add a twist to the manicure. The basic rule is not to overload the design!
