Do you prefer the classics? Then a white jacket on short nails is your option. A beautiful design can be both everyday and play the role of a festive manicure. If you do not want to change your nail design for several weeks, then it is better to choose something neutral that does not have time to get bored. Look for ideas for trendy upgrades to the classic French manicure below.
Rhinestones
You need to create a festive look, but your nails are not long enough to do something interesting on them? Don't worry: a white jacket with rhinestones will look just as good as long nails with fancy decor. Short nails can look attractive if they are well-groomed. How to make a stylish design? The first step is to give the nails a beautiful shape. Ideally, try to make a square. But if your nails are broken off, then you can only dream of a square. In this case, you can always create a soft oval. File the plates and then degreasethem. Apply the base. After drying the preparatory layer, stick the stencils. If you don't have special stickers, don't worry. On short nails, smiles can be drawn with a thin brush. After drying, apply a finish to the finished design. Rhinestones should be attached to the wet layer. You can place them at the base of the nails or along the plate. Choose the option that suits you. Re-strengthen the rhinestones with a finish and dry.
Sequins
Need a formal manicure? A white jacket on short nails can look attractive if you complement the classic version with sparkles. How to do it? First you need to decide whether you will make all your nails classic or completely paint over some with sparkles. The second option will look more elegant. File the nail plates and degrease them. Apply a base coat in the form of a transparent base or camouflage. Nails that you want to highlight, immediately paint over with a shiny varnish. Stencils should be glued to the remaining fingers. You can draw stripes with a brush, but you need to have a full hand to do this. When the white smiles are ready, re-glue the stencils a little lower and apply another coat of varnish, but this time shiny. After drying, remove the stencils. The finish will help to fix the design.
In a similar manicure, you can use shiny varnishes of various colors. It is not necessary to take classic silver or gold colors. You can experiment and use purple or blue glitter polishes. You can also experimentwith invoices. Instead of varnish, try using dust or acrylic powder.
Lunar
This trend in its purest form was popular a few years ago. But, like the classic white jacket for short square nails, the moon design has become a classic. If you want to make your look less trivial, then you should not use fashion trends in their most classic version. For example, instead of highlighting the base of the nail with paint, you can lay it out with rhinestones, and replace the classic transparent substrate with a soft pink or peach color. How to do a similar manicure? First, file and degrease your nails. After that, apply the base. Instead, you can use camouflage. When the base is ready, you can start designing. With a thin brush, draw white smiles. When the varnish is dry, cover the nails with a finish. Rhinestones should be placed on a wet coating. We put a large rhinestone at the root of the nail in the center, and several small ones along the edges. After that, you need to duplicate the finish layer again. Instead of rhinestones, you can use broths of different sizes or any other nail accessories.
Double stripes
This design looks good on both long and short nails. This design option is simple, but beauty is hidden in its simplicity. The accents here are placed with the help of contrasts. Two stripes that fit snugly together look defiant and at the same time not too flashy.
How to make interestingmanicure? To begin with, the nails need to be given the necessary shape, then the plates should be filed and degreased. When the preparatory work is completed, you can apply the base. After the substrate has dried, take the stencils and alternately draw first a white and then a black smile. You cannot work in reverse order. Why? For the reason that white paint does not cover dark colors well. And one more nuance. The thickness of both strips must be the same, otherwise the design will look sloppy.
Gradient
Thinking of a manicure for short nails? Fashion trends can be applied to any design, the main thing is to dream up a little. This example features nails with a gradient. The trend for smooth color transitions has captured the minds of many fashionistas. In order not to become another clone, you can make a gradient not on all nails, but only on their tips. What color to choose? This year, purple is at the peak of popularity, so it’s worth taking a closer look at it. How to repeat the design? First you need to file and degrease your nails. After that, stick stencils on all the plates and create white smiles. When the backing is dry, you can remove the stickers. After that, arm yourself with a flat synthetic brush and purple varnish. Alternately apply a dark color to the tips of the nails and make a smooth stretch, which should fade away at the middle of a white smile. Try to make the transition the same on all fingers. If such a manicure seems too boring to you, you can supplement it with a small pattern. For example, draw a branch or an arbitrary abstraction.
Heart
Are you romantic? Then you will like a white jacket. A manicure, even a classic one, can be made romantic and gentle. How beautiful to beat French? To do this, make a drawing in the form of a heart on one of the nails. What will the work process look like? First you need to file and degrease your nails. After that apply the base. If you have camouflage, then apply it. So you can make a manicure in fewer layers, which means you will extend the life of the design. After camouflage, smiles should be made. You should immediately decide on which finger the heart will be. It does not need to make a white smile. On the stencil, draw stripes, and after that - a heart on the remaining nails. As a decorative element, you can attach a strass to the picture or decorate the image with bouillons around the perimeter.
