Short Almond Nail Ideas That Prove Less Is More@raelondonnails | @samrosenails

Dare I say that short nails are very ~demure~, very ~mindful~. They have always been and always will be a certified vibe. Now, don't get me wrong—long nails are undeniably badass, but they're not exactly the most practical (think: typing, applying eyeliner, fastening jewelry). If you're like me and prefer that perfect in-between—short, but still long enough to shape into a subtle point—then you'll love my newest obsession: short almond nails.

Heck, even celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Olivia Rodrigo have started opting for shorter manis. From trendy jelly nails to the perfect summer-to-fall transition colors, an almond-shaped nail is the best canvas to try just about any design you have living on your Pinterest board. If you're looking for fresh inspo to take straight to your nail tech, just keep on scrollin', 'cause I've rounded up 30 unique designs that totally deserve their own post on the 'gram.
