Tips for Easy Maintenance

One of the reasons we love short nails is because of their low maintenance!

However, if you want your manicure to last long, don’t forget the nail care basics!

Be careful when you are working with your hands.

Avoid paint, messy foods, or anything else that can ruin the beautiful shades in your nail design.

We would recommend staying away from any heavy lifting or manual work to avoid chipping your nails. 

Last but not the least, preserve the shine girls!

Add a top coat or go in for a quick refresh to keep your summer nails healthy and sparkly. 

Accessorizing Short Nails

Nail art doesn’t have to mean intricate designs – sometimes, an easy and chic way to update your mani is to switch up the designs and accessories you’re using in your manicure.

Summer is the perfect season to experiment with some gemstones or with accents of brighter shades that pop! 

Additionally, if you have zero faith in your own hands?

Rather than painting on a design, try sticking it on instead.

Play around with stars, tiny hearts, or throw in some daisies. 

Transitioning Nail Designs:

If you have a lot of nighttime or formal events coming up, we suggest adding a sheer, milky base layer with chrome powder.

It’s bound to make any design look sophisticated and elegant that catches the light beautifully. 

Conclusion

In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s often the little things that bring us the most joy.

Whether it’s a pop of neon pink against a backdrop of azure skies or a subtle shimmer reminiscent of golden sands, these small details on our nails remind us to cherish the beauty in simplicity.

Let our nails remain short, sweet, and ever-ready for whatever adventures lie ahead, whether it’s a spontaneous road trip, a lazy day by the beach, or a cozy evening spent with loved ones.

So here’s to summer, with its sun-kissed days and balmy nights.

Here’s to the memories made and the bonds forged.

And here’s to the promise of yet another summer on the horizon!
