10 Easy and Fun Nail Designs for SHORT Nails



It has been far too long since I posted! I've been very busy as so many things have happened in two short months! I got a new job at the hospital in my town. Since I work in the food and nutrition services department, I am not allowed to have my nails painted!! So terrible... But anytime I have a couple days off you BETTER believe that my nails are not naked :) ALSO I got engaged!!! My fiance surprised me one day by showing up to my work (different job) it was so unexpected and I was definitely surprised... which was awesome! Keep scrolling for pics where I show off my ring ;) 
So finally to my post... It's long, but hopefully you will enjoy it. I have been keeping my nails short lately, because longer nails have gotten annoying to me. Even though my nails are short I can still create great designs on them. And so can you! :) Enjoy!! 


#1 The Herringbone



This was probably one of my favorites! I love nude bases with a design on them! And this was actually very simple to create. 



#2 Dot Gradient


This dot gradient was fun, and as my boss told me obnoxious! Haha she said that because she thought I didn't want my nails to be like that when I got engaged (she was in on it) but I liked them... so these were my engagement day nails ;) wouldn't change it either!!! 



#3 Triangle Tips


Triangle tips are one of my favorite nails designs because: a) It's really easy to recreate and b) You can use tons of different colors and it looks good
This is an older picture, and my nails are a little longer... but it does look good on short nails

#4 Ombre (Light to Dark) 


This summer I've done so many ombre nail designs. It's so easy and always turns out good. I did little flags on these because they were my birthday nails :) 




 I also tried an orange ombre with glitter :)




#5 Pastel Floral 


This was done a long time ago, but I think it belongs on the list because it looks good on short nails!

#6 Half-Moon Mani





#7 Triangle Tops and Cheetah Print


These were gorgeous!!! And inspired by Chelsea Queen, I can't find the link to her original picture... but it's on my Pinterest nail page (Nail-Art) Follow me :) 




 #8 Saran Wrap


 Saran wrap nails are great for short nails, and they are totally easy! 



#9 Pointed Colored Tips



Colored tips over a very subtle light pink base! Very simple, pretty and great for short nails!






#10 Stamped


To wrap up this post I have stamped nails! I have a Konad stamper and it's great for easy and quick nail art! 


Hope you enjoyed this post, and have some ideas to recreate for yourself!
