Short on Length, Big on Style

Short nails can make just as much of a statement as longer manicures. Their look is defined by balanced proportions, a well-shaped silhouette and the right finish. Oval, soft square and squoval shapes create the perfect foundation for both minimalist manicures and more expressive nail art.

Milky bases, nude tones and soft pinks highlight the natural beauty of the nail plate. Micro French tips, vertical accents and subtle ombré help create a more elongated look, while red, burgundy, navy and black add depth and character to short nails.

Short nails are the perfect canvas for Cat Eye effects, chrome finishes, flash glitter, delicate florals, tiny dots and graphic lines. Sometimes, one carefully placed detail or an accent nail is enough to give a minimalist manicure an entirely new look.
