Short manicure: such important little things
It would seem that nothing can be simpler than a short manicure: no extension is required, sawed nails, waved varnish, and the beauty. But is it really so? Of course not! Manicure for short nails is a demanding and capricious thing. The fact is that a lot of nuances fall on the anatomy of the hand and fingers in the first place.
Who is the short manicure suitable for?
The short length of nails is not suitable for every fashionista. It will look great on toes that are long on their own and have a nice, elongated and narrow nail bed. In this case, you don't even have to think about color and design in general. If the young lady cannot boast of "violinist handles", then she will have to be very scrupulous about the design of the nails.
Shaping
A short manicure cannot boast of a rich choice of sawdust shapes. There are only 3 options here: square, oval and squaw-oval (soft square). Almonds are categorically contraindicated: nails look like seeds.
When choosing sawdust, it is necessary to pay attention to the bend of the cuticle, the width and shape of the nail plate. For clarity:
- A narrow, elongated plate with an oval cuticle. All three sawdust options are suitable for this nail shape.
- Elongated, wide plate with a square cuticle line. Here you should choose a square or squaw-oval. The oval can also be considered, but you should be prepared for the fact that the nail will look more round than oval.
- Short plate. In this case, the cuticle line does not play a special role, since you will have to focus only on the oval shape. Otherwise, the nails run the risk of turning into "shoulder blades".
The length of the fingers themselves, and including the width, also play an important role. Small fingers "prefer" the oval shape of sawdust, as well as plump ones. Long and thin fingers can be pleased with any shape. The most important thing is to observe the general harmony of the hand. It is important to remember that no matter how much you want a specific sawdust, you should take into account absolutely all the nuances and listen to the advice of the master.
Choosing a design
A design decision in choosing a beautiful manicure is a very important aspect. This includes everything: both the color of the varnish and the use of decor. Short nails are pretty moody. For a long nail plate, you can use any color and any decor. For a small nail bed, it is recommended to use pastel shades and very laconic accents for decoration.
New year design
To give the New Year's manicure a festive mood, it is advisable to use a thematic design. But at the same time, you can completely calmly choose what your heart desires. So what ideas do nail artists suggest using?
French
A classic for all time. French manicure can be laconic, austere, elegant. Or it can evoke a playful mood and give nails a festive touch. French can be combined with any form of sawdust, suitable for any color of varnish. A colored jacket makes your hands more elegant, but pure white will suit any design.It is important to remember that a jacket is also capable of "doing harm": short marigolds may be even shorter.
Monochromatic
A very good choice. A monochromatic coating in any situation is perfect for both New Year's Eve and working days. A universal lacquer color, such as nude, allows you to create any look and can be combined with any style. Absolutely all fingers "love" a monochromatic coating: both thin and plump. On the latter, an oval in delicate tones looks especially advantageous, which can have a mother-of-pearl or shimmer base.
New year shine
Glitter is one of the options for decorating the coating. They can be completely independent, or an addition to the main design line. Sequins go well with any style. They give a special charm to the New Year's design. But again, do not abuse them, so as not to turn into a "magpie".
Sequins can be monophonic, colored, with a holographic effect. A gentle scatter will perfectly decorate a dark gel polish and give an airy finish.
New Year's drawings
Themed drawings will never go out of style. They add playfulness, festivity, complement the image. Master painters are highly regarded in the world of nail art. Of course, you can get by with stickers or stencils, but this all loses to real art. You can depict a lot on your nails: from toys and cartoons to real landscapes.
It is important to understand that art design is very lengthy. Since the conversation is about New Year's manicure on short nails, then it is necessary to focus on the following:
- Length of the nail bed. The shorter the nail plate, the more concise the drawing should be. It is better to portray a toy, snowflake, herringbone or cartoon face than trying to paint a winter night in a confined space. A heavy drawing with a small drawing on a small nail will merge into one incomprehensible spot. While one artistic element will not in any way affect the general direction of the idea.
- The main color of the gel polish. It can be anything. It is only important that the drawing is not lost against the general background, but beautifully "played", setting the tone for the whole image.
- The use of auxiliary decor (rhinestones, stones, etc.). It is rare when a drawing requires additional decoration. Of course, a small rhinestone in the center of a snowflake or an asterisk will perfectly complement the idea, but the overload of stones will make it in the “expensive-bohato” style and hopelessly ruin it.
Red new year manicure
There are a lot of shades of red. But use this color carefully. And although it is considered a classic, red does not tolerate frivolity.
Red itself is pretty self-sufficient. It rarely requires additions. Unless he favorably accepts sparkles, foil, rhinestones (very little), rubbing. Pictures can be used, but mostly monograms or a very schematic representation.
It should be remembered that small, plump fingers with a wide and short plate will become even shorter and puffier if you use red gel polish.
Blue colour
Perhaps this is the most "winter" color. He is close friends with any jewelry. As for the drawings, blue provides a wide scope for imagination. On this basis, any drawing will stand out, attract attention.
The blue color accepts well a jacket, rhinestones, glitter and shimmer. The coating can be glossy or matte. Airbrushing looks good on dark blue gel polish. Although blue is a cool color, it makes designs warm and velvety.
Gold and silver colors
If silver is still acceptable on all marigolds, then you should be careful with gold. It is better to single out one or two marigolds than to “kick” the pirate's dream - “piastres and doubloons”. Gold and silver can act as a jacket. They can depict a simple monogram or a small element of the picture: a snowflake or an asterisk.
Where there is gold and silver, you should not use other design options (stones and rhinestones), so as not to overload the coating.
By the way, the symbol of the year dictates its own rules, so if you believe in horoscopes, get a manicure that pleases the Tiger - the symbol of 2022.
Summing up
Choosing a successful and original New Year's manicure on short nails is not an easy task.
But do not be afraid of small marigolds. Even if the plate is "chewed" to zero, or has an irregular shape (trapezoid), it is always possible to slightly build up or correct the nail.
Well, a beautiful design will help you choose a nail service master who will take into account all the nuances in order to create the perfect manicure for the New Year 2022.
