Trend alert: short nails 2023 - inspiration for autumn

The sky-high long and slender almond nails have reigned for several seasons as the most fashionable and coveted by fans of sophisticated manicures. Hailey Bieber's famous nails or Kylie Jenner's recognizable styles aroused admiration, and girls around the world recreated them in their loos. Now it's time for a change - because this season belongs to short nails! What color and shape to choose? Wear a plain mani or go wild with patterns? We have prepared for you inspirations for autumn-winter short nails 2023 - see for yourself that this trend deserves attention!

Short hybrid manicure - timeless classics and comfort

A long manicure doesn't have to be a hindrance at all - every almond lover who does almost all manual work with skill and grace knows this. However, this does not mean that we all have to feel comfortable in such nails. Sometimes the professional dress code or work duties also get in the way. Neat, elegant short nails are also a tribute to naturalness and comfort. 

If you're looking for inspiration for an autumn manicure that will work well both at work and at university, and during autumn garden cleaning, take a look at the nails of Selena Gomez or Emma Watson. You'll also find inspiration in the shows of the biggest fashion houses, where the manicure naturally houses the carefully polished styles. Short hybrid nails once again returned to the salons and everyone remembered that they are synonymous with timeless classics, which we especially love in autumn.

Elegant short nails 2023 - trend quiet luxury

We know how changeable the life of trends can be, but quiet luxury is hard to pass by indifferently. Instead of splendor - we opt for minimalism, simplicity, nobility. We reach for timeless forms and colors, and replace flashy logos with subtle details. The basis of quiet luxury are clothes made of quality cotton, silk, cashmere or leather. And since fashion trends, go hand in hand with manicure trends, quiet luxury includes it as well. 

Do you want your autumn 2023 short nails to refer precisely to the quiet luxury promoted by celebrities? Opt for natural shades that deceptively resemble the color of the natural plate. NaiLac rubber polishes from the iconic Babyboomer collection are perfect for this role. These timeless nuances look great on short natural nails, which impress with their elegant minimalism.

What color looks best on short nails?

Let's now take a look at the most fashionable shades for short nails. What color will look best? You are limited only by your imagination. Autumn-winter manicure is undoubtedly one of the timeless colors, but you can juggle them freely. Short red nails in deep wine tones have been triumphant again for years and perfectly complement styling with leather boots or boots. The same is true of black, dark browns or a shade of ripe plum - if until now you thought that such vivid colors look good only on long tonsils, it's time to change that.

What about the seasonal trends for short hybrids? Nails in shades of matcha latte, juicy orange or muted gray look great on a natural plate. Reach for #425 NaiLac, which is a gray polish with black flecks, or #372, which will create a sweater effect on your nails perfect for autumn.

Not just smooth - hybrid designs on short nails

Short nails 2023 do not have to be smooth at all, and this is confirmed by the viral videos circulating on social media. See how phenomenal the painted French looks on them - just remember to keep its mustache as thin as possible. You can also go crazy and replace the classic white tip of the French with its colorful sister - for example, in a shade of deep cherry!

Swirl nails, or nails decorated with colorful waves, are still an enduring hit. Do your designs on a ruddy base and inject some multicolored liveliness into mega-simple styles.

Don't have time to decorate even very short nails? Autumn is the perfect time to play with different textures - swap a shiny finish for a chic matte one together with NaiLac #004 top or NaiLac Black Dotts Matt Top.

What other decorations are worth considering? On a short hybrid look great:

• minimalist dots made with a probe;
• gold accents, which you can achieve with Glammy Base Milk&Gold or the spectacular Flash Gold top;
• geometric colorful patterns, such as vertical stripes to optically lengthen your nails.

Oval, square or maybe... squoval - what shape of short nails to choose?

Short, but squoval - we say a clear no to such nails! If you want your manicure to look favorable, bet on three timeless shapes. The first to get attention is the unfailing and probably the most universal oval. It is loved by fans of short nails, who want their nail design to be resistant to damage. When developing an oval shape, the only thing to remember is to file your nails according to the shape of your fingertips.

Do we have fans of squares here? We're enchanted by it too, because it's a shape even made for short nails. The square, when done correctly, does not look too clumsy at all, but on the contrary - it can beautifully slim your hands. The only thing to remember is that square hybrids can be a bit more prone to damage due to their rather hard edges. If you want your styling to last even through the toughest moments, go for a gel (Jelly Bottle or Tix-Jelly are ideal), with which you can harden the natural plate. And if you are looking for a shape for short nails that combines the advantages of an oval and the beauty of a square, you need to bet on a squoval, as it will be much more resistant to damage.

What short nails will you choose this fall for yourself? Sensual red, fashionable green or maybe classic nuances? One thing is certain - you will love this hot trend for the convenience it offers. After all, what is fashionable can also be functional. See for yourself!
