When we think of a manicure, we often imagine long, slender nails covered in shiny polish. But what about those of us who prefer shorter nails? Do we have to give up trendy styles? Absolutely not! Short nails can look just as elegant, and even more practical in everyday life. Today, we will look at three popular styling methods: hybrid, classic, and gel. Which one will be best for short nails? Read on!
Hybrid Manicure
The hybrid manicure has been one of the most popular choices in recent years. It combines the benefits of classic polish with the durability of gel. It’s a great option for those who value a long-lasting effect without chipping. The hybrid lasts on nails for up to 3 weeks, which is especially important for those of us leading an active lifestyle.
Moreover, hybrids come in a wide range of colors and finishes – from classic mattes, through shiny polishes, to glitter accents. It’s an ideal solution for short nails, which are often prone to damage. The hybrid strengthens the nail plate, making the nails less susceptible to breaking.
And what about the removal process? It’s worth remembering that a hybrid manicure requires specialized removal. Improper removal of hybrids can damage the nail plate, so it’s best to visit a professional salon.
Classic Manicure
The classic manicure is a perfect choice for those who prefer a natural look for their nails. It’s also suitable for people who like to change their polish color frequently. Unlike hybrids, classic polishes can be easily removed with regular nail polish remover.
One of the main advantages of a classic manicure is its availability and low cost. We can do it ourselves at home, which is a big plus for those who want to save time and money. Unfortunately, classic polish is not as durable as hybrid or gel. It may chip after just a few days, requiring frequent touch-ups.
Nevertheless, a classic manicure gives us a great opportunity to experiment with color and patterns. Short nails in classic shades can look very elegant and well-groomed.
Gel Manicure
The gel manicure is an option for those who desire durability and the possibility of nail extension. Although often associated with long nails, gel works just as well on a short plate. It allows us to achieve a perfectly smooth and glossy surface.
One of the biggest advantages of gel is its durability. With proper care, it can last up to 4 weeks. Moreover, gel manicure is resistant to mechanical damage, making it an ideal solution for people who work with their hands.
However, it’s important to remember that a gel manicure requires salon visits for both application and removal. The gel removal process is more complicated than with hybrids, so it’s worth trusting professionals.
What is your opinion on this topic? Do you prefer the durability of hybrids, the naturalness of classics, or the elegance of gel? Regardless of the choice, it’s important to remember proper nail and cuticle care to always look healthy and attractive.
