Can you get a manicure with really short nails?

The versatility of long-wear gel polish is exactly why gel manicures for short nails are trending for fall. “Gel manicures on short nails have become so popular because it’s one of the fastest manicures to get, and the easiest to maintain,” says Sarah Tuttle, founder and CEO of Olive & June.

What to do if your nails are really short?

Try these three tips:

  1. Grow out your nails. First step is to let your nails grow out.

  3. Push back your cuticles.
