Short Nails Unite!

I don't know about you guys, but I've always had really frail nails so I tend to keep them short. Often times when I see really awesome nail ideas it's catered towards people with much longer nails, and wouldn't really work otherwise. I just figure, just because I have short nails, doesn't mean I don't want to make them pretty!

I'm going to do a little series of blogs for short nail design ideas. I'm going to do some simple ideas for people who are impatient like me, and some more elaborate ideas for people who really want to go all out!

Here are a couple of "on the go" ideas that I use often for when I just want to do something other than a coat of polish.
For this top look, I painted my nail like normal and then took a thick glitter polish and hand painted the tips. It really doesn't have to be perfectly straight, and because the polish is so thick, it makes it easier to control while putting it on. This also dries pretty quickly. I used Sinful Color Gorgeous and Nail Junkie for this look.For the bottom look, I painted my nails like normal and then took a plain makeup sponge (you can obviously use any sponge you'd like) and sponge painted on the second color of polish. This look also dries very quickly and can also be very cute and summery with something like a bright green and a teal sort of blue. I used Sinful Colors Mint Apple and the other paint's sticker came off. It's a black with green and blue sparkles in it.

I tend to use Sinful Colors because they're affordable, and I've found that many other glazes NEVER dry on my nails. I've tried everything and it just doesn't work. So, I stick with the basics.

I will post some more ideas soon! Let me know what you think!
