As much as I love a good set of almond nails I can’t deny that I am a short nail girly at heart. Wearing tips has always made me feel put together, but once it’s time to take off my favorite set of press-on nails, there is an undeniable feeling of relief knowing that I’m back to my short nails. I would argue that the feeling is just as satisfying as taking off a pair of high heels after coming home from a night out.
As someone who is constantly typing away at the keyboard, I can appreciate stylish nails without the extra length. I want the benefit of a manicure that doesn’t require me to make minor adjustments to the way I do things throughout the day while still being able to participate in some of my favorite seasonal trends. And with fall just around the corner, I already started digging through my socials to find the best nail inspo.
If you’re in the same boat, consider yourself lucky because I decided to put together a list of the 25 best fall short nail ideas that you’ll see everywhere over the next few months. Be prepared to screenshot, and thank me later.
