Slim and delicate, like the fingers of a manga heroine, which girl wouldn’t want to have them? However, everyone’s bone structure and nail shape are different. For girls with naturally thick palms, large knuckles, and wide nail shapes, the “manga hand” seems like an unattainable dream. Even spending money on manicures doesn’t have much effect. Can girls with thick fingers and no space for long nails beautify their fingers through manicures? Here are 4 nail styles that even girls with short nails can try, adding elegance without being picky about skin tone or hand shape!
White and red, blush nail polish
When everyone is pursuing fair and rosy skin, Japanese girls are pursuing fair and rosy nail styles. This nail style, called “blush nails,” is simple and understated, with a faint pink color spreading slightly outward from the center of the nail, creating a natural rosy glow. The simple gradient style gives the nails a sense of elongation, and if you like something more fancy, you can also add transparent droplet decorations of different shapes on the nail surface, instantly doubling the cuteness.
Minimalist and versatile nude-colored nail polish
Nail styles for short nails must be simple and not overly elaborate. Excessive and intricate decorations will only make the nail surface appear smaller and the nails shorter and thinner. If you have a preference for sparkly styles and can’t do without them, it is recommended to choose basic nude nail styles and lightly embellish them with one or two rhinestones. Additionally, you can also add rhinestones to the “blush nails” style mentioned earlier, but again, simplicity is key, following the principle of “less is more”.
Artistic marble nails
Can short nails only choose simple styles? In fact, as long as you choose the right style, fashionable nail designs are also suitable for short nails. Remember to avoid excessive painted patterns, hand-painted patterns are better suited for longer nails, while short nails can choose some full nail patterns. Recently, the popular artistic colored marble nails in Japan are one of the choices, with a semi-transparent treatment of marble texture and a few metallic elements embellishments, it has a sense of layering without being overly fancy.
Exaggerated and eye-catching Y2K style
Recently, in addition to the popular artistic colored marble nails, it is also quite popular to incorporate Y2K elements into nail designs. Surprisingly, exaggerated enlarged patterns and highly saturated colors are also very friendly for short nails. Chessboard, polka dots, and other patterns are of course indispensable, and you can be bolder by adding a large number of three-dimensional decorations on the nails. The enlarged version of girly flowers and heart-shaped patterns can also add a cute and playful feeling to your short nails.
