Plus, if you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/places\/treatment-group-nails\/offer-type-local\/\">nail-salon<\/a> lover, you might think that short nails aren\u2019t worth the trip; that they don\u2019t make enough of an impact on your look. Spoiler alert, though: we\u2019re about to show you why *none* of that is true.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you\u2019re a fan of intricate nail art, or a gold old-fashioned all-over colour, there\u2019s something for everyone.

(Think: Euphoria vibes). Or, if you&#8217;re looking for your new fave nail colour, we&#8217;ve got you covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/treatment-files\/nail-colour-trends-spring-summer-2022\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our top tip for short nails: <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/places\/treatment-gel-nails-manicure\/offer-type-local\/\">gel, shellac<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/treatment-files\/biab-builder-in-a-bottle-nail-treatment\/\">BIAB<\/a>, or another semi-permanent option when it comes to your short nails manicure. They\u2019ll stay perfectly glossy and remain chip-free for the duration of your mani (around 2-3 weeks).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, whilst we\u2019ll always love an oh-so-extra long-nailed look &#8211; you can probably see we\u2019re kind of obsessed with the elegance of a short nail manicure at the min. They\u2019re just a little more versatile and much more transitional (profesh enough for a work meeting but cool enough for that hot date later on). Plus, you can type at your laptop without waking up the neighbours, and put on tights without immediately poking holes through them. Win-win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766158523284\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the best nail treatments for short nails?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Opt for gel, shellac, or BIAB treatments when choosing a manicure for short nails.
