Short nails are the best when it comes to practicality – especially if you’re used to having your nails short. Although long acrylic nails may be all the rage on Pinterest, Instagram, and even music videos, they’re often a lot more hassle than they’re worth – especially if you need to fork out near a hundred dollars for them.
We believe that short nail designs can be as beautiful as long, bold nails, just as long as you get your manicure right. Below are some of the best short nail ideas to get you inspired to update your manicure for any season – do them yourself, or take these pictures to your local nail tech!
Pst – most of these nail designs are actually nail wraps and stickers, which you can purchase online! If you find anything that you want to try out yourself, just click on the image to be taken to the retailers’ websites!
