How often do you guys go get your nails done?

I took off my gel manicure before the beach in July and I have yet to go get them done!

Shop the Nail Store on Amazon!

Typically, I like to take them off before the beach because the salt water and sand ruin them.

Yes, I am the type of mom who likes to get in the ocean and dig in the sand so pretty nails are a no-go.

Once I got back from the beach I told myself I would get them done but its hard with the kids home from school for summer break.

Now that the kids are in back in school I am OVERDUE for an appointment.

I’ve been debating on a burgundy, tan, or black for fall. Which color do you usually go for?

Now, onto some fun fall nail designs for short nails!

I have pretty short nails as they tend not to grow.

However, once I’ve been getting gel manicures they tend to grow longer.

But… I do still like to keep them pretty short. Here I have put together a list of 15 beautiful nail designs for you!

That way you don’t have to keep scrolling through Pinterest or Google to find the best ones…

Whether you’re looking for short fall nails with designs or simple short fall nails, this round-up of fall nails is a good one.
