Keep it cute with short acrylic nails

If you love the look of acrylic nails but don’t want to commit to long ones for everyday wear, short acrylic nails might be just the thing for you. They’re a great way to show off your style while maintaining a clean, professional look. 

Choosing the right short nail shape

You might be surprised to learn that there’s a range of short acrylic nails to choose from! You can’t go wrong with a classic square nail for a sharp, clean look. A sleek, French tip nail bodes well for this nail cut. For a softer look, opt for round nails with a nude polish or almond-shaped nails to elongate your fingers. 

Prepping your nails

Before applying acrylic, prep your nails by removing any existing nail polish and filing your nails to your desired length and shape. Gently push back your cuticles and buff the surface of your nails for smooth application. 

Applying the acrylic

When applying acrylic, begin with a base coat to your nails, followed by a layer of acrylic powder. Using a brush, apply a small amount of liquid acrylic to the powder and spread it evenly over your nails. Repeat this process until you achieve your desired thickness.

Maintaining your short acrylic nails

Maintain your short acrylic nails by keeping them clean and moisturised. Avoid exposing your nails to harsh chemicals or detergents that may lift or break your acrylic. Wear gloves when doing household chores or gardening to protect your nails. We recommend filing your nails every two to three weeks to keep them in good condition.
