How to Quickly Do a French Manicure on Short Nails at Home: A Simple Life Hack

Do you think that a French manicure can only be done on long nails, where the smile line is clearly defined and the manicure shows off all its charm? In fact, that’s not true! A French manicure looks great even on short, or very short, nails. And you don’t need any complicated tools or special nail art skills for this — just precision and patience.
For a DIY French manicure on short nails, you only need a few things: a white polish for the classic French look (or any other color you like) and a makeup sponge. Yes, that cosmetic tool plays an important role in achieving a neat and beautiful result.
This life hack is especially effective for short nails, where you don’t need to carefully draw all the curves and details — the result will be neat and even without extra effort.
How to do a French manicure on short nails at home
1. Apply a base nail polish — clear, nude, or any other shade you like.
2. Let your nails dry completely.
3. Form a thin, even stripe of white or another chosen polish on a sponge.
4. Press the sponge onto the nail to stamp the polish onto the tip.
Perfect! Repeat the same on the other nails, using the same or different colors. Apply a clear top coat to set it — and your perfect micro French manicure is ready to delight the eye!
