Nail Art for Short Nails! | Prép Beauty Parlour

For those of us who are blessed with naturally long nails, getting any type of nail art is easy! Since there is so much space on the canvas to design art on. So what are we supposed to do? We short nail girls want fun and fashionable nails too! With the constant stream of crazy nail art being spit by all the talents on Instagram, we don’t blame you for wanting the crazy glass shatter nails, or the famous chrome nails!

Gel nail extensions are one way to extend and elongate your nail, this way is very common and many people get their nails extended using tips, or at Prép, sculptured extensions. You can read more about sculptured gel extension here! But for some of us…life just isn’t that easy. With work and school dress codes, long nails just might not be the best idea! We totally understand- for the safety of others right?

And that’s why today we’re here to give YOU some inspiration on short nail ideas! To ensure they don’t chip and last for at least 2 weeks before you get the removed and redone, we recommend coming into Prép for a gel polish manicure!

Compared to a regular manicure, gel manicures have a quick, almost instant dry time. Since it’s cured in a UV or LED lamp, theres virtually no time to ‘dent’ your nails!

Now let’s skip onto some of the nail inspo we have for you today!

Animal print nails? Yes please! Leopard prints are always in style! We added a twist to this set of nails by using our NEW magnetic cat-eye gel polishes! The result? A unique, stylish set of nails! Perfect!

YES! Finally, shatter nails! We’ve been waiting so long for this trend to come and hit us! We love the fabulous iridescent touch it leaves on your nails. Yet it’s so simple and delicate! Come in and choose your favourite glass shatter design! Now in a variety of colours to better suit you!

Gems, gems, and more gems! Short nails can get gem love too! Paired with a dark, sultry colour, the gem nail art is going to scream sophistication! We’re definitely loving the touch of sparkle too! Totally amps up the set! What do you think?

For the ladies who prefer a lighter colour palette, check out golds, whites, and nudes! Notice the beautifully hand drawn design on the ring finger?n Our talented Prép nail technicians and artists can hand draw any design that you may imagine!

Chrome! One of our personal favourites! Whether you like rose gold chrome or want silver metallic digits- we’ve got it all!
