Nailing It: The Right Shade Of Enamel For Short & Bitten Nails

From emphasizing imperfections to an unsightly skin tone, opting for the wrong shade of enamel can instantly create an array of unflattering problems.

If you suffer from naturally short or bitten nails but can't resist flaunting talons polished to perfection, a great tip is to opt for pale tones or a classic french polish combined with a deep smile line.
Not only will this simple trick successfully draw unwanted attention away from a small nail plate, but create the illusion of added length.

Remember that bright and dark shades of enamel are guaranteed to make a statement for all the wrong reasons and should be avoided. These dramatic colours will only force nails to appear smaller, emphasize a minimal nail plate and, scream cheap and gaudy.
