As for color, if you want to make a classic solid color manicure, you can choose any, even the most radical tone. Black and dark varnishes it look great on short nails neat. The same can be said of the brightly colored lacquers. At the same long nails it looks defiant.
On short nails, as well as on long, you can make jacket - but only if you have a long, rather narrow nail plate and slender fingers. French manicure can be a classic (natural nails with white border), or contrast.
Figure should be chosen carefully. In no case can not be made a major figure on short nails (especially if they are small and / or wide). Prefer abstract, geometric patterns and avoid medley. Do not make the acrylic molding, stick rhinestones! Besides the fact that this design is suitable only long nails, it looks in most cases extremely vulgar.
If you are unhappy with the shape of their nails, you can easily adjust it. At irregular shape of the nail plate, try to use the vertical parallel lines.
Finally it is worth noting that the guru of manicure and pedicure, the famous Christine Fitzgerald prefer short nails: "I like short nails, so that even if God Himself says that long nails - it is fashionable, I still will not wear them."
