Cute Short Nails For Summer🐚🌴🌺
If your a long nail girlie these can also get turned into long nails! I love having my nails done over the summer especially when they’re short so you can still have a lot of fun and they aren’t in your way!🐚🌴🌺

Short Summer Nails
Okay, here’s a long-winded nail tale—brace yourself. 💅🏽 I usually only get my nails done about 3 months out of the year. The rest of the time, I let them breathe and live their best natural life. Sometimes I’ll pop out with a fresh set for a special occasion, sometimes I don't bother at all.
