What's more, according to the social media outlet's latest trend report, 46 percent more users are searching for short nails. The spike in interest is a great reminder that just because you have short nails, it doesn't mean you can't get creative with your manicure. In fact, some nail art designs might even look better on short nails. Of course, there are pros and cons to getting a gel polish on your nails. (Like that it could last up to a week longer than a regular formula but might damage your natural nail if you decide to peel it off, for example.)
