You don't need long nails to be able to go wild with nail art — these are 15 examples from Instagram that show short nails rocking amazing manicures.
These manicures were made for folks with short nails.
Long nails are the Marcia Brady of manicures — they get all the attention and can’t help but show off a little, displaying their intricate designs and shapes all over Instagram and Pinterest. When a new design trend hits, it’s almost always shown on long nails, which isn’t fair to short nails at all! Short nails are like Jan Brady, the middle sister who sometimes gets overlooked but definitely deserves the spotlight just like her big sis.
If you’re someone who will never succumb to the siren song of acrylic nails, a nail-biter, or if you’re cursed with weak nails that just won’t grow no matter how many avocados you eat, don’t fret. You and your adorable short nails can still hang. In fact, these manicures look amazing on all lengths, especially shorties like yours (and mine).
