Manicure procedures at home have a number of advantages. And one of them is the ability to make absolutely any design, no matter how long your nails are. In addition, you can carry out the procedure at a convenient time. Before you make a manicure at home on short nails, you need to prepare a little.
Problem of choice
First of all, you need to decide which particular design you want. It would seem that the choice for nails of small length is very small. But this is not so. Just all the elements should be smaller. Light manicure for short nails implies the use of varnish without any additional decorations and patterns. It is enough to cover the nail bed and the free edge, fix everything with the upper protective layer. This procedure is familiar to every girl since childhood, when she simply painted her nails with felt-tip pens or pencils.
But sometimes monophonic varnishes bother, I want something new and unusual. For example, a French manicure with a pattern. Yes, on short nails this is also possible. Even if the free edge is very small (millimeter, for example). If it is difficult to varnish it, then acrylic paint and a thin brush can come to the rescue. Just color a small strip by making a smile line and let it dry. Note: all this is done on the base coverage. In addition, before you make a manicure at home on short nails, practice on a small piece of paper. The picture itself can be anything. Unusual ornaments on one finger look good. For example, anonymous.
A manicure at home on short nails can be done:
- one varnish;
- several varnishes;
- acrylic paints;
- stickers;
- additional elements for nail art.
Two varnishes - one design
For those who do not want to draw elements, but want something unusual, there is a simple solution. Just two different varnishes. For example, with the effect of craquelure. Even on short nails, it will look original and stylish. Especially with the right selection of colors. Before you make a manicure at home on short nails with a cracking effect, remember - this varnish spreads only on a glossy surface. Therefore, first you need to choose for yourself the basic, basic color. It should be combined with craquelure. A sharp contrast is sometimes acceptable, but this is a purely individual choice. After the base has dried, a varnish with cracking effect is applied to it. After they fix everything with a top coating or leave it as it is.
In addition, there is a varnish with a temperature perception. What is it? The color of the varnish varies with the ambient temperature. This is especially effective in winter, when a girl often moves from cold to warm. How to make a manicure at home on short nails with such material? Everything is simple:
- file the tips;
- lightly sand the surface;
- apply and dry the base;
- paint your nails with varnish.
Top coat is not required, otherwise the effect of temperature will be distorted. You can try different options, choosing the most successful one for yourself at any time and in any convenient place!
