Styling Tips for Short Black Nail Designs
Got short nails? Have no fear; you can shape them into ovals, round, lipstick, or almond nail shape to give your tips an elongating effect.
When working your magic on this nail size, apply a thin coat of glue around your nail. This is because you have a small area to work on, which means there’s a higher risk of errors. You should also apply your polish in thin coats, letting each dry thoroughly to prevent smudging and keep bubbles at bay.
You can also use nail art and embellishments to elevate your look. Stripes, patterns, stamping, and rhinestones are all good options.
And remember to always use complimentary colors for accents. White, nude, and beige are fantastic paired with black.
