For several seasons, manicure for short nails has remained in trend. It is comfortable, practical, and also very stylish and fresh, especially after such a long popularity of long almonds and ovals. Catch the hottest ideas for the coming autumn 2021!
1. Light manicure for short nails
On short nails, light shades look doubly advantageous, regardless of the season. The result is always graceful, neat and very elegant.
2. Bright shades in manicure
Autumn is not a reason to give up bright colors, but the palette does change. In 2021, we advise you to pay attention to the navy blue, emerald, steel blue, coffee and yellow.
3. Monochrome manicure
Monochrome designs are such an interesting trick when all nails are painted in adjacent shades of the same color. It turns out both diverse and restrained at the same time.
4. Gold sequins
This fall, gold will be at the peak of popularity, and the more it shines, the better. Of all the trends in manicure, this one breaks out into the unconditional top.
5. Autumn leaves and plant motifs
Summer flowers are replaced by elegant autumn leaves by September. These are not necessarily large designs: small accents on individual nails are surprisingly good too.
6. Dark manicure
If, with the approach of cold weather, you are drawn to darker shades in manicure, we advise you to try purple and burgundy in all their variety. Moreover, they look very stylish on short nails.
7. Negative space
Over the past year, this technique has already been appreciated by many fashionistas and manicure masters. Part of the nail remains without a colored coating, or the drawings are applied directly to the transparent base – make your choice!

8. Manicure on oval nails
Short oval nails look sophisticated and elegant. This will be the most popular form this fall. Moreover, it can be combined with any designs and patterns.
9. Soft square
The soft square is loved primarily for its convenience. It is versatile, practical, does not scratch, and the corners do not break as short nails grow back.
10. Mirror Rubs
In the summer, the season of translucent iridescent rubbing begins, but in the fall dense mirrors and metallics come into their own. Silver, gold, pink, red, green and blue – take your pick.
11. Burgundy manicure
Experienced craftsmen know for sure: by the fall, you need to stock up on different variations of red. For example, in 2021, the main and most popular will be the noble burgundy.
12. Matte manicure for short nails
The matte top with its velvety texture on short nails seems even more elegant. Light, bright and dark colors, from milky to black, are equally good under it.
13. Yellow, orange and mustard manicure
It is not surprising that yellow and red always remain one of the main autumn colors in manicure. How can you resist when the trees turn so beautifully from all sides?

14. Stroke
The original technique involves a contrasting stroke of the nail along the entire circumference. Black looks most impressive on a beige or colored background.
15. Drops
Once upon a time, such a design was already in vogue, but then it was gradually forgotten. But everything is cyclical, and now the iridescent volumetric drops again adorn short nails.
16. Pink neon
If you absolutely do not want to say goodbye to bright colors in honor of the arrival of September, we suggest paying attention to acid pink neon. It is not necessary to cover your nails completely – accents are enough.
17. Multi-colored manicure
Fashion trends have long allowed you to abandon the painful choice of that very ideal color on the layout. Feel free to combine several of them – at least all ten.
18. Autumn jacket for short nails
Everything is stable here: the white jacket is still inferior to the color or jacket with accents. The main shades are mustard, orange, emerald, purple and steel.
19. Geometric manicure
Since their inception, geometric patterns and designs have not lost ground. This is a great base for creating different designs – from minimalism to abstraction.

20. Splashes and streaks
Drops, spots, stains, marble and other creative chaos are what you need in the fall of 2021. On short nails, not too contrasting variations of this design look better.
21. Pastel shades
Pastel helps out lovers of feminine romantic images, as well as those who believe that bright varnish is not very good on short nails. Add a couple of dotted black accents – and nothing else is needed.
22. Laconic nude for short nails
It just seems that the nude is always the same. But look how many shades of beige, cream, milky and pink are offered by modern manufacturers. Warm nude, with a pinkish or orangey undertone, is now relevant.
23. Matte green manicure
Green was at its peak in summer and will remain for the season. Just choose darker and noble shades, and for more effect, cut with a matte top.
24. Gradient manicure
If you are tired of complex designs and want variety, an airbrush will help. The gradient does not have to stretch from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. For example, a diagonal transition looks beautiful on short nails.
25. Sequins and rhinestones for short nails
Too large rhinestones and sparkles still look better at length. But a few small details will brightly complement the manicure for short nails. The main thing is to find a harmonious size and shape!
