If you're into nail art, the length of your nails doesn't matter. Whether you like simple designs or want something more intricate, the options for nail designs for short nails are pretty endless. You just have to keep in mind that even simple designs may appear busier on a shorter nail than they would on longer ones.
"Since short nails provide a smaller canvas, minimalistic designs can be better proportioned and more balanced," says Mazz Hanna, nail artist, founder of Nailing Hollywood Agency, and the CEO of Mazz Hanna. "Intricate designs may look cluttered or overwhelming on short nails, while simple nail designs and solid colors highlight the clean look of short nails."

Glitter Micro French
A micro French manicure is a great look on short nails because you can keep the line super fine. For added interest, you can double up and make a French with two lines. "Nail artist Hang Nguyen created this glitter micro French look using a fine liner nail art brush and a gold glitter polish," says Hanna.
