I'm pregnant with 2 kids and love pretty hands. Busy life keeps me from getting the "full treatment" at a salon like I used to. My hubby bought me a foot massage bath and parafin dip unit for my hands and feet. So, I'm all set. Except for the part where my fingernails are short for practicality. I love red and hot pink. Does it just look trashy on shorter nails? Keep in mind, they aren't bitten or below the fingertip.

Actually, I think the colors would look trashy on the longer nails. RIght now, the most fashionable length is short, barely extending over the skin of the fingertip. I think a shorter length tones down the bright colors and makes it more sophisticated. It's an easy look to maintain; who needs a manicurist? Besides, there's nothing really more tackier than bright red talons, you know?

for short nails: bright colors are good, patterns are great, french manicure is fantastic.
details: paterns are polka dots and such, but an easy pattern is stripes. paint half the nail... hot pink let's say; and the other half red, or go crazy and do three stripes. being perfect doesn't matter either, if one stripe is bigger, so what. solids are ok, but never let a solid color chip on your nail. that looks trashy. french manicures are hard to do, but they add a false longness that makes your hands look elegant. glad if i could help, jk.

I love pretty hands too. I think as long as your nails are in good shape like you said then bright colors are fine. I think long nails look tacky now. I used to have mine very long, but don't like them that way anymore. I have two children too so we both know how things change. Good luck with #3!

No. Long nails look trashy. I associate them with old ladies who have nothing better to do than sit around and smoke cigarettes and grow their nails. Short nails look good. Paint them a solid color. Overly fancy nails are so ghetto.

Nicole Richie sported short red nails while shopping in Santa Monica recently.

i think red looks good with short nails specially when the nails are sort of squared off.. not pointed at all.. looks chic

Long red nails is trampy. Short, not chipped nails can take bright color

I'm a guy, and personally, I don't like long nails. I know a lot of like very long, painted nails cause they're "so pretty", but I don't like them.

A little bit of toenail is fine... but I agree together with you. Long nails are kinda major.

I don't really like it on short nails, but you should wear whatever you feel comfortable in.
