Some of the most simple nail designs for short nails include: vertical or horizontal stripes, checker nails, polka dots and zebra nails.Designs such as the french manicure are not really an option, however the reverse french manicure (aka the half moon french manicure) is totally worth trying on short nails. It’s quite easy to do and elegant in the same time.
