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 the three inch claw nails. Either because of preference or practicality.
I mean my full-time job is a desk job, and let face it typing with a set of talons glued to my fingers can get tired 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 then I suddenly became an adult, who had to do adult things… Like *shudder* work, and I suddenly just grew an appreciation for short nails and short nail art.

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.
