However, it can be hard to find decent inspiration for cute, short nails.
That’s why we put together an awesome design guide to help you find the best shape, shade, and style for your blue short nails.
Before you polish your nails, consider using a nail file to shape your nails and get the most out of your manicure.
Oval, almond, and rounded nails are classic, easy to do shapes that can help to make your nails and fingers look longer.
Additionally, coffin nails (also known as ballerina shaped) help to achieve the same effect but with a more angled tip.
There are millions of blue polishes on the market and it would take far too long to list them all here. To save you time the next time you’re choosing a color for your short blue nails, here are some timeless shades that never let you down.
For darker hues, go with royal, Egyptian, or sapphire blue. If you prefer lighter tones try an electric, Maya, or arctic blue. Green-tinted blues like turquoise, Turkish blue, tiffany blue are also a few of our favorites.
You can combine any of the shades listed above to create an enormous array of designs and nail art to suit your aesthetic.
Marble light and dark shades together or add gold accents like geometric lines and sparkles for a touch of modern chic.
Embellishments like glass caviar beads, rhinestones, pearls, glitter, and confetti can also serve to add texture and glamour to your blue short nails.
Dark gray or deep black animal stripes on shiny, short blue nails are perfect for funky, wild looks. For a more cutesy style, consider layered French tips (also known as stacked French tips) or polka dots with bright white or silver.
