Long Nails vs. Short Nails: Which Style Suits You Best?

Choosing between long and short nails comes down to your lifestyle and personal style—but both can look amazing with the right care and products.

💅 Long Nails: Glamorous & Bold

Pros: More space for nail art, trendy and elegant, confidence-boosting
Cons: Higher maintenance, prone to breakage, less practical for daily tasks
Best for: Special occasions or fashion-forward styles

✨ Short Nails: Practical & Polished

Pros: Low-maintenance, durable, easy for everyday tasks
Cons: Less room for elaborate designs, less dramatic
Best for: Busy routines, professional settings, natural looks
