In fact, short nails can provide more of an impact than long nails for certain looks, especially since they can express color in a subtle way.
Short nails don’t have as much surface area as long nails, which makes short nails the perfect canvas to showcase different alternating colors. This trend is one way to wear more than one color at a time while also looking edgy and fashionable. You can either paint each nail a different color within a color family, or mix it up and choose complementary colors from the color wheel.
Playing with finishes and textures also is an option. Pair frost polishes with matte or glossy finishes for a unique look.
Another advantage of short nails is that they can better hold brilliant and shocking colors. Short nails are less likely to overpower an outfit, even if they are painted an acid green or hot pink.
Bright colors seem more playful and appropriate on shorter nails than longer nails, and there is less of a commitment to hugely bold looks. Nail art can also be a huge plus for short nails. Create delicate designs that fit perfectly within your nail, and watch how much attention and compliments you get.
Doing a statement standalone nail can make more of an impact with shorter nails since no one expects shorter nails to achieve such a feat. Short nails are actually a plus when it comes to nail trends, so don’t shy away from anything!
