55 Short Nail Designs For Your Next Manicure
By KELLI CATANA
A Pop Of Red
This manicure goes from simple to bold with just a pop of red polish. The addition of a bright, cherry red polish on top of a milky white base coat is perfect for holidays like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, or when you just want a hint of color to enhance your daily look.
Bold Gold
Gold nail polish adds a glowing sheen to shorter nails, and the oval shape of these nails helps to elongate their look. This gold polish is dramatic enough on its own and doesn’t need any nail art to make it stand out, and works perfectly for day or night.
Pastel Abstract
Keep it interesting with unique, abstract art featuring pastel shades for your next manicure. Brush grey and blue polish on top of a pastel, pink base coat to give this short manicure an updated look.
Blueberry Lemonade
Crelly is a jelly-like, typically opaque or neutral polish that often contains glitter. This crelly manicure features teal, white, and yellow sparkles on a pale blue base, providing an easy way to give off the look of nail art without being too complicated.
Pink And Black Simplicity
If you’re looking for something feminine and classic but don’t want to overdo it on the nail art, pink and black make a truly luxe combination on the nails. We also adore the addition of delicate black leaf outlines on a clean, pale pink base.
