10 Pictures Of Short Fake Nails That Are Actually Practical

Have you always envied those long nails that many celebrities are sporting, but are too nervous about the impractical nature of them? We have rounded up 10 inspiring styles of short fake nails for you to choose from that are both pretty and practical.

I adore long nails! But being someone who types on her keyboard quite a lot, shorter nails would surely make my life a lot easier – oh, the sacrifices. Maybe I’m some mutant freak of nature who has pretty much learnt to, with ease, carry out all tasks of life with long nails. However, the majority of normal ladies out there probably aren’t as, shall we say, talented (hehehe *face-palm*) Moving swiftly onto our 10 pictures of short fake nails that are actually practical!

1) Pink-nude & almond-shaped

You cannot get anymore feminine than this in my opinion, nor any simpler! These short nails are so perfect and practical for everyday, and the tiny little stick-on diamonds on the ring finger nail give the look a touch of sparkle. I personally love almond-shaped nails because I feel they make the hands look slightly more elongated and feminine.

2) Short pink-nude with diamonds & glitter

If almond-shaped nails aren’t your thing and you prefer the square shape for your nails, then these cute short fake nails are perfect for you – and they’re actually practical! I love the pink-nude shade and the tiny stick-on diamonds. In addition, you can probably tell that I have a bit of a thing for anything with glitter on the ring finger nail.

3) Cute Polka dot tips & square-shaped

This nail look is just cute, man! I love polka dots on pretty much anything, and I don’t feel any differently about nails. These short fake nails are super pretty, go with just about anything and despite their “good looks”, they’re actually practical and won’t get in the way of your daily chores. 😉

4) Taupe & almond-shaped

So gorgeous! Taupe shades are amongst my favourite nail polish colours and I especially love them on slightly long, almond-shaped nails. I think these short fake nails are long enough to add length to your hands and fingers, but short enough to be practical and functioning!

5) Short, matte beige-nude

There is something so chic, modern yet sophisticated about matte nail colours – particularly nudes! These short fake nails are probably some of the most practical and look amazing for everyday casual wear, day, night and special occasions!

6) Lilac & square shaped

This nail look is great for spring and is actually practical! Purple shades like this add a little something-something to your hands and overall look without seeming too “girly”, so they’re perfect for those of you who aren’t too fond of pink nails. These short fake nails aren’t too long, and with spring and summer being the seasons of practicality, are perfect around this time!

7) Vintage black & white stripes

I don’t know what it is about these nails, but the design reminds me of a cute 50’s or 60’s bathing suit! I absolutely love stripes on everything and I think they look amazing on the nails, too. These short nails are the perfect length for ease and practicality.

8) Subtle glitter-taupe & leather-black with lines

I love the modern and sophisticated look on these short fake nails. The very subtle glitter on the taupe combined with the leather-black appearance, clean lines and tiny little hollow stud on the ring finger nails are perfect for everyday and for a glam look. Definitely one of my favourite pictures of short fake nails that are actually practical!

9) Midnight Ombre

As is the case with stripes and polka dots, I love the ombre effect on pretty much everything 😀 and of course, that includes nails! This is one of the prettiest pictures of short fake nails that are glam, casual and actually practical – all at once. The vampy, deep-mauve shade is stunning and reminds me of the midnight sky.

10) Matte Mermaid

Another picture of matte short nails! This metallic, almost ombre, matte turquoise shade is just so beautiful to look at – it reminds me of mermaids and the perfect length definitely looks like it promises practical and easy functioning! If you love having your nails done and you don’t want to deal with the inconveniences of long nails, then feel free to derive some inspiration from these 10 pictures of short fake nails that are actually practical!
