The truth of the matter is that a fresh manicure can have you feeling marginally less undead sometimes. But lets face it, we can’t always get those crazy long nails. Doesn’t matter whether it’s because of preference or practicality.
I don’t know about y’all but I spend a lot of time by a computer, and let face it typing with a long set of nails gets tiring really fast. Don’t get me wrong though, I love getting really long nails done but they can be a little impractical sometimes.
I used to hate the idea of short nails (I thought they were boring), but I think we’ve all gotten this new appreciation for short nails and short nail art.
There are so many ways you can design your nails, even when they’re short or natural length, it’s actually insane! Short nails really are not boring at all! You could do a simple classy monochromatic look, or a crazy wild neon design. The limit is your imagination.
This post has cute nail designs for short nails that are a must try! You can find everything from classy monochrome nails to stunning frenchies to cow print nails (I’ll never understand how cow print became a thing. It’s super cute but just so random!).

I like acrylic nails but I have to have them pretty short because I work in maintenance but that doesn’t mean we can’t be pretty.
So true! Just because you gotta keep them short doesn’t mean they don’t have to be pretty!
