For the short nail girlies of the world — which recently includes none other than the square-shaped, short tip-loving Kylie Jenner — you’ll likely know that lots of nail art designs tend to cater to those with long nails.

That being said, there are countless styles, from super minimal moments to more intricately painted (and even 3D) details, that beautifully suit short nails.

For fall 2024, there are quite a few buzzy trends that have risen to the top (and adorned the tips of the most beloved A-listers, too). Hailey Bieber stepped out in Paris with deep espresso brown crocodile print nails, which beautifully complement any luxe leather handbag you might be reaching for these days.

Taylor Swift, on the other hand, decorated her shorter nails with a wash of deep metallic blue lacquer in New York City, reminding everyone that she is still very much in her “Midnights” era.

As for some other “more is more” nail art designs that are sure to own the chilliest months of the year? Plaid print tips, warm-toned fall aura nails, and spicy chrome details have proven to be effortless picks.
