Short Nail Design – both Beauty and Comfort

Wednesday, 04 August 2010

Short Nail DesignLately the industry of nail design has reached the level to boast. Nails are not only polished but extended, grown and decorated in various techniques that were not available before. Nails are modeled, volumized in length and decorated with fabulous patterns that never yield to masterpieces of reputed painters. However, all these approaches are provided for long nails since they are the beneficial platform to show the creative works of the nail designer when beauty salon is chosen for this purpose.

If you fail to observe the artless rules to care of your short nails, then they will be able to destroy the image and make your hands look unattractive, even if the nails are still comfortable for you.

The appropriate length

The length of the nails should be appropriate to look attractive. If you cannot boast with delicate hands and thin fingers, and on the top of it, you inherited wide nails from your parents, you should not cut your nails too short leaving the visual end of the finger from the outer part of the palm. Short nails should be trimmed accurately and look in harmony with your fingers and the palm. And in this case the nail design is another case to keep this visual harmony.

There are particular taboos in regards to short nails which appear to be must-have to deem. First of all, too large and wide details are not recommended which are risky to cover the nail itself. This refers to decorative elements which are fastened to the nail and too extensive details of the pattern or image, like a big flower. Second of all, it is of no good to go from one extreme to another and cover the area of the nail with thin and fine image, it will not look accurate. Also you should not use over three colors to avoid the effect of motley dissonance. Acryl modeling so much demanded today is not good for short nails either since they cannot endure the volumetric design.

Short cut to beauty

The appropriate design for short nails should go with to the shape of nails. Mainly, our nails are strongly attracted to the particular shape by nature, though if you want to try some decorative elements, you might consider. Oval and elongated nail plate accepts the floral patter and light romantic decoration, while end-straight nails look good with juicy nail polish with darker decorative elements and laconic graphical pattern.

French accords

The classic French manicure is attractive for both short and long nails. Fortunately, there is a variety of French manicure which supposes not only the white end of the nail with translucent sheer stress zone, but various techniques and approaches to work on the plate itself.

The most popular version of French manicure is the dark nail and very delicate white-snow drawn nail tip. The color of the nail polish as the base is up to you. This is the perfect opportunity to show your adherence o traditions and shoe your creativity and personality.

Color abstract patterns

The nails can be painted with the graphical patterns, strict abstract print or the smooth and running lines which build the entire picture in the end. Avoid painting with different colors but opt for the different shades of one color gamut which look nice with black color and white insets.

Blooming romance

If you are willing to add the femininity and romance to your image through making your nails done, then consider decorating them with flowers. Be careful since the lighter base is good as the canvas to draw the flowers. A pattern, like a thin brunch or a flower should be drawn at the side of the nail plate and should be made too fine and delicate. Avoid making the pattern too complicated otherwise you risk to get the tasteless and motley manicure.

If your nails are elongated, go beyond the flash of the finger and are rounded, then the pattern can be located at the tip. Though, in both cases, you never try to cover the nail plate, otherwise the effect f the short nail design will be lost son.

Short nails can never look attractive when decorated with spangles and gems, though if you are willing to use it at all, you’d better use it as the integral part of the pattern in the root part of the nail.

Whatever you choose for your nails, make sure they are clean and neatly trimmed. The most beautiful nails when dust and spots are seen looked terribly even if decorated with diamonds.
