One of the things we miss the most about our pre-pandemic life is getting manicures—we think it's the perfect way to relax after a tiring work week. While we don't recommend heading over to your go-to nail salon to have your digits prettified just yet, you can definitely do them yourself. Below, 10 pretty pastel designs for short nail manicures that are simple enough to be DIY-ed—we promise!

Nude Nuances
Nude nail polish is the easiest way to make your digits look more put-together.
