But let's return to the topic of new products.

What will be fashionable this year? Which one is best for short nails?

Features of gel polish design on short nails

Everything is quite simple, you just need to remember a couple of simple rules. The first one reads:

Rule #1: If you want to visually lengthen your fingers, choose gel polishes (shellac) in light pastel shades. The nude style is very popular now.

Simple and natural shapes combined with pale or beige shades of gel polish look very natural and tasteful. You should use white polish with caution (especially if you have dark skin), as well as yellow gel polish. Yellowish colors do not suit everyone and can give an unhealthy tint to the skin. Therefore, in manicure it is better to use either bright yellow shades, or use yellow as an auxiliary color.

Rule No. 2: The drawing should not be overloaded, use a minimum of decor. As for the latter, it is better to choose designs with vertical or diagonal stripes.

Below you will find examples of modest, but no less spectacular ornaments and designs for nails. For example, origami designs are now in fashion.

Rule No. 3: It is better not to make a manicure for short nails too bright, because it can look childish.

An exception to these rules is the classic red manicure, as well as using all scarlet and burgundy shades. It is worth noting that everyone has their own concept of “short nails” and the shape of nails is often different for everyone, so the design style is always very individual. Experiment and you will find your own style and some individual solutions.

Trend 2: Manicure with stylish pinstripes

The main manicure trend of 2020 will be this style. The nails are covered with a transparent or translucent base, or light flesh-colored shellac is used as the base color, and then short stripes are drawn. It can be done quickly and easily at home, and looks very stylish. The stripes can be painted with a very thin brush, or you can buy and use a special felt-tip pen for nail design.

With the help of airbrush you can do very beautiful manicure ombre (amber), and even with drawings. It looks very impressive even on tiny fingers.

2. Apply the base and the first layer of color coating;

Trend 7: Stained glass

This coating is actively winning the hearts of nail art fans. It is used in combination with “ cat's eye” to enhance the effect or to cover decorative elements, for example, kamifubuki, mosaics, etc. You can paint with stained glass, but the drawing will turn out in the form of light, barely perceptible highlights.
