Gel Manicures

Short nail designs that show your unique personality will leave an indelible mark this season, such as classic round or glitter French designs. From subtle to eye-catching, short nail looks can help show off who you are while leaving lasting memories behind.
However, one drawback to fake nails can be their effect on natural nails after taking them off (drier, brittle and more prone to breakage). But now there’s a revolutionary gel treatment known as Gel-X which offers strength and length without harming natural ones: press-on UV nails are used instead, so when your nail technician sizes up your hand they simply apply and cure these fake nails before proceeding with their regular manicure services including polish, art work and cuticle oil as usual.

Geometric nails have come back into fashion this season. It’s a fun nail art technique with endless options, from lines and dots to streaks, zig-zags, and hearts – any color is welcome and there are simple techniques you can follow to achieve the look all on your own!
Use a clear polish base to achieve straight uniform lines, then a striper brush for drawing lean shapes that your regular nail polish brush cannot do. Nail guide stickers also work great for creating geometric nail designs!
For those who prefer more feminine looks, decorating short nails with flowers is a quick and simple way to achieve an attractive and feminine aesthetic. Perfect for any special event or just plain daily wear, flowers give natural-looking blooms while boosting melanin levels at the same time! Add some bold or glamorous embellishments such as rhinestones for a striking statement.
Neon Nails
Neon nail colors are an ideal summer choice and look incredible on short nails. Or try a gradient neon manicure – an eye-catching trend which features dark on the tips gradually changing into light hues at the ends of each nail, perfect for any special event or celebration!
Glitter can make any neon manicure pop! A great addition for parties and events alike, adding it can really bring out the neon shades in your manicure and make them stand out against its background. For an added glam touch, add some rhinestones.
Short nails may not seem as chic, but you can still pull off various looks by selecting the ideal nail color and shape to suit both your personality and daily activities. Experiment with different styles; who knows which will look best on you! And be sure to maintain healthy, strong nails as well!

Light blue nails (known as Dita nails after burlesque performer and half-moon manicure enthusiast Dita Von Teese) have quickly become an eye-catching trend on TikTok and beyond. Perfect for adding subtle style, Dita nails offer an eye-catching yet subtle way to make short nails pop. In relationships, Dita nails provide nonverbal communication tools between partners – an easy way to stay close.
Slanted French manicures provide an alternate take on the classic French tip by adding a strip of white (or any color of your choosing) to each nail’s tip to lengthen its appearance while making them appear edgier and more eye-catching.
Geometric shapes like triangles and diamonds can be an excellent way to lengthen the look of short nails. Done correctly, this style can be very eye-catching; just make sure that patterns or lines do not get too busy and make your manicure appear unattractive.
