Tips for Making Short Square Nails Last
Short square nails are sturdy, but their straight corners are the first place a chip loves to start, so ask your tech to slightly soften the very corners and seal the free edge with every coat. At home, keep a glossy top coat on rotation every two or three days, wear gloves for washing up, and never use your nails as tools; with a thick gel or builder base, a set like these easily stays crisp for two to three weeks.
Whether you lean classic with a pearl-kissed French or go bold with neon marble flames, pink on a short square shape proves you never have to choose between pretty and practical. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and enjoy a manicure that keeps up with your life.
