Keeping your nails short is an excellent choice because they are durable, practical, and will not be prone to breakage. There are definite pros to long nails as they look feminine and can make a statement, but short nails are great for everyday and will not restrict you with your activities.

Short nails are ideal with easy short acrylic nails; more complicated artwork may require longer nails as there is more space for creativity. A simple manicure can be achieved by painting the nails black and nude; this is an effortlessly chic combination and will suit all skin tones. You can add a few black dots or interesting lines on the nude nails for a modern touch.
