The key to a classy appearance is understatement and style, that is not just true for your hands but also for your overall appearance. Elegance is not about having the most eye catching décolletage, or wearing the gaudiest jewelry, it is about wearing clothing and jewelry that are always stylish and attractive to you.
People who are elegant understand that your hands in and of themselves should not stand out especially in terms of finger length, very long and cumbersome fingernails does not in any way flatter the simplicity and stylishness of being elegant and furthermore has some disadvantages to it.
Accessories will stand out better without your hands being overwhelmed. With short nails, your accessories like rings and bracelets will stand out better with a more balanced look overall. Long nails paired with arm candy or finger bling can look overwhelming especially on those with smaller hands
Everyday things like texting, cooking, washing and some little other here-and-there stuff become more fuss-free. Our nails are primarily meant to protect our fingers not to render us helpless, life gets a lot easier when your fingers are properly functional- you’ll be surprised by just how much time you’ll save on the little things with short nails. Ladies with long talons would know the pain of trying to do the simplest everyday task. Typing a keyboard, opening containers, and even fiddling with buttons and zippers can prove to be difficult with those nails in the way.
Short nails are more hygienic as dirts won’t get trapped underneath. Long nails always have some sort of dirt or fluff, lotion, face cream, anything you touch always ends up underneath, it therefore needs constant cleaning.
As an elegant lady one of a very important fact to note is to always file your nails to the same length. Consistency is so crucial when trying to be elegant, two short nails and three long nails looks weird and detracts from overall manicure. If one nail breaks, file the rest down until they are all the same length. However along these lines classy nails do not get more than 1/4 from the tips of your finger and that is a bit long.
Also along with keeping your nails short or moderate your nail shape is the foundation for creating fabulous fingers. As well as complementing your choice of color or design, the right shape can also flatter your whole hand and make it more attractive, from elongating short fingers to accentuating nice nails, the shape of your manicure has more power than you might think. As such, choosing the best nail shape for your fingers is an important task that you shouldn’t overlook.
