Trendy short acrylic nails we are obsessed with!
Are you looking for some inspiration for your next manicure? Ready to ditch the long fingertip nails and go for something shorter? Short nails never go out of style. In this post I have a list of over 50 short acrylic nails for you to try next time you get your manicure!
Short acrylic nails are perfect for anytime of season but great for summertime. The reason is because they are easier to care for. If you wear long nails, your hands get sweaty and germs can easily accumulate under your nails. This can lead to infections. Short acrylic nails make it easy to keep clean between manicures, which makes them ideal if you like getting a fresh coat of polish on a regular basis.
There are many advantages of having short acrylic nails. They are easy to maintain and won’t get in your way when you want to switch up your nail color or add some fun designs! Plus, they are removed more easily than long acrylic nails. If you have a job where you use your hands quite often short nails are the way to go.
You also do not have to worry about them breaking. This means you can get them done more often if you want. Sometimes long acrylic nails can cause skin to break. As you bend and flex your hands throughout the day, the constant pressure of having long nails can wear down your cuticles. This can lead to some extreme pain!
They are easier to paint because obviously there is less surface area to cover. However if you are looking for an intricate design there is less room for a design. You can paint your own nails without a professional or with minimal help from a friend or family member. Your nail technician will be able to recommend a design that works well with your unique personality. They may even be able to create an entirely original design just for you!
Nail art is a great way to express your personality on your fingertips! There are so many great designs for short acrylic nails. French manicure-style short acrylic nails are timelessly beautiful. They are elegant, feminine and perfect for any time of year. Glitter and chrome nails are very popular right now. Short nails are stylish, beautiful, and comfortable!
