Chic Nail Art Ideas For Short Nails You Can Do At Home

Nail Art Ideas For Short Nails:  Short nails don’t have to mean dull, boring nails. With basic nail paints and simple tricks, you can make your nails stand out, right in the comfort of your own home. Here is a list of six nail designs that are perfect for busy women who have to manage work, family, and socialise and require only a few nail art tools like bobby pins, toothpick, sponge, tape and other home staples.

Chic Nail Art Ideas For Short Nails You Can Do At Home:

1. Minimalist Dots:

Start with a nude base coat and paint 2-3 small black or gold dots on each nail using a bobby pin dipped in nail polish. Finish with a transparent top coat. So elegant and easy to do.

2. Geometric Lines:

Paint two base colours, preferably contrasting colours, like teal and pink, and use tape on one side and paint on the other half of the nail, vertically. This one is bold and easy to do.

3. Ombre Fade:

Use a sponge to create a pink-to-orange (or any other colours you like) ombre effect on your nail tips.

4. French Twist:

Cut a tape in a curved line. I use a nail cutter with curved edges to cut tape. Paste this curved tape on the tip of your nails, then paint nail paint on your nails as usual, and after the nail paint dries, remove the paint and paint the tip of your nail with white nail paint.

5. Floral Accents:

Paint your nail with muted tone nail paint, dip a toothpick into bright-hued nail paint and simply make dots in a flower pattern on your ring fingers.

6. Glitter Tips:

A nude background with a half-dipped gold glitter looks are party-ready and gives a dramatic touch to your nails.

Lastly, patience is the key. Carefully apply the base coat, paint one nail at a time, let it dry, make minimal and easy nail art and seal with a glossy transparent topcoat for long-lasting nail art. My all-time favourite trick is to buy cheap nail paint for a base coat and one expensive transparent top coat for that luxurious nail look.
