Beautiful manicure for short nails at home? Is quite real. To do this, you just need to make the correct suitable shape of the nails, and then carefully perform the manicure.

Actual ideas of manicure for short nails

Owners of short nails in 2018 need to pay attention not only to the color of the varnish, but also to other parameters of the perfect manicure:

  1. Nail shape. Fashionable square shape this year takes second place. The first place is oval. Fans of a square shape should choose a more rounded shape that visually lengthens the nail. Almond-shaped form is contraindicated for short nails.
  2. Color varnish. On short nails, dark shades of varnish will look beautiful, which will perfectly combine with bright contrasting shades.
  3. Design. It is advisable for girls to abandon the “mirror rubbing", and you should also pay attention to the usual glossy and matte finish. The option of a moon manicure and a gentle jacket is possible. If you choose between the patterns on the nails, then you must give preference to a small pattern or vertical geometric lines. It is not recommended to get involved in rhinestones, because too many stones on the nails look vulgar.

How to make a jacket at home?

French (French manicure) is more suitable for owners of long nails, but short nails are also an option. Before staining the nails, you need to make a quality manicure. To perform the jacket at home, you can buy ready-made stencils that greatly facilitate the drawing of a white line (smile). Instead of a stencil, you can take strips of tape or stationery gum.

It should be noted that a different degree of roundness of a smile is suitable for each nail shape.

An ideal option is a mirror repetition of the cuticle shape. For this type of manicure you will need: white varnish, base and top coat. To make the manicure neat and beautiful, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

  1. Be sure to remove the keratinized cuticle. Great if there is a machine for hardware manicure, and if not, use nail scissors or tongs. European manicure does not look very beautiful on short nails. Before working with the cuticle, it is advisable to steam the skin with a bath of sea salt.
  2. It is necessary to wait until each coat of varnish has completely dried, regardless of whether regular or gel varnishes are used.
  3. After applying the white line (smile), it is necessary to fix the manicure with a top coating.
  4. Among the methods of decorating, it is desirable to choose rhinestones or lace. Moreover, if the jacket is made in classic colors - the decor must be minimized.

For those who like to experiment, you can perform the jacket in bright colors of the palette.

We use rhinestones, powders

To create a beautiful manicure on short nails, you can use rhinestones of various shapes and colors. Rhinestones immediately add to the nails the effect of luxury and high cost. On short nails, rhinestones can be placed in different ways:

  1. In the form of a line that can be vertical or repeat the contour of the hole.
  2. Covering part or all of the nail plate in the form of honeycombs or nets.
  3. In the form of a picture, using rhinestones of various shapes and color palettes.

The main advice when attaching a strass is to use high-quality expensive glue, which will protect against premature nail deformation.

Together with rhinestones in the decoration of nails often use acrylic powder, which can be of different colors. Thanks to the velvet effect, the powder looks aesthetically pleasing on the nails. It is applied to the nails at the last moment, when the adhesive layer is already removed. To fix the powder, it is necessary to draw a contour of the desired picture with a white gel - varnish, using a thin brush. Then sprinkle the pattern with powder of a suitable color. Next, you need to dry your nails in a lamp, and then brush away excess material with a brush. Patterns can be different: from clear geometric lines to delicate flowers and snowflakes.

Lunar manicure for very short nails

For very short nails, the option of a moon manicure is suitable. But it should be understood that the holes visually shorten the nails. The combination of a jacket and holes on short nails does not look aesthetically pleasing. Wells with varnish may not be painted over. A more common option involves highlighting the hole in contrasting color. To create a neat, clear outline of the hole at home, you can buy a special stencil, and the hole itself can be not only in the form of a crescent, but also in the form of an inverted triangle. They can be distinguished by rhinestones, beads and a thin color line. The color scheme of the implementation of this manicure technique is very extensive, and the nail itself can be painted in two or more colors. An important point when choosing this type of manicure is that the cuticle area must be processed flawlessly, as the holes attract attention.

Gradient at home

Gradient is a fairly popular design for short nails. It represents a smooth transition from one color to another. In this case, the color transition itself can be both vertical and horizontal. To make a gradient at home you need:

  1. Prepare varnishes in several shades of the same color, sponge (if not, you can take ordinary foam rubber), fixative, orange stick and cotton pads with nail polish remover.
  2. Apply varnish to the sponge with strips, starting from the lightest shade and ending with the darkest and most saturated.
  3. Lightly move the sponge to the nails. Immediately after staining the nail, the manicure must be dried and then varnished with a second layer.
  4. With a cotton pad moistened with nail polish remover, lightly walk around the nail plate, and then apply a fixative to the nails.

Wedding Manicure Ideas

Wedding manicure is often done in bright colors.Most women prefer a gentle French manicure, decorated with rhinestones with a dusting of the northern lights. Also among the decoration of wedding manicure is a very popular pearl, which stands out harmoniously against a light background. More impulsive girls are suitable for strict manicure, made in white with square rhinestones. For bright and energetic brides, color confetti and sparkles are suitable for decorating manicure. For romantic girls, a more suitable option is a manicure with modeling acrylic or gel. Do not forget about the classic version of a monophonic light pink coating. Different shades of light varnishes combine perfectly with white patterns (flowers, snowflakes, lace), as well as with acrylic powder drawings.

Fashionable color picker

Experienced manicure experts highlight several universal colors that, in their opinion, will never go out of style. This list includes colors such as white, black and red. In 2018, shades of gray and beige are considered fashionable, which suit any style at any time of the year.
