White gel polish for short nails
It just so happens that walking with short nails is much more convenient in terms of everyday worries, working at the computer, and caring for a small child. Most women choose short nail lengths: oval, soft square, round; you can also make interesting beautiful designs on them. On short nails you can make a pearlescent rub, an accent flower, diagonal or vertical stripes. Interspersed with black or colored dots, spots, pictures will perfectly fill a light manicure, giving individuality and uniqueness to your look. A thin white jacket, splashes of gold, and a light marble design will work well. Universal white is suitable for summer, autumn, winter and spring; it includes snowflakes, flowers, leaves and feathers in the design, as well as a neutral background for painting with other colors.
