By now you’ve probably heard of “the four-inch rule,” which states that a pair of slightly longer nails should match the diameter of your index finger (uppermost finger) for a perfect manicure. But for many women, sticking to this rule isn’t going to work, especially if their nail growth rate isn’t on track, or the length of their nails isn’t starting to inch upward as you age.
While it’s true that a gradual body growth curve — or gradual evolution — is the most natural way to grow nails, many women need to try out trendy trends to make them look their best. While these styles aren’t going to create lush, lush nails right away, they can add a dramatic new touch and suit a multitude of skin tones. If you’re struggling with short nails but are looking for some quick hair and nail advice that will help you grow them long and strong, read on.
Nail Basics
Whether you have super short or super long nails, you need these eight things. For ideal nails, your skin needs to be cleansed and hydrated, your nails should be oil-prone, you have to have good nail bed moisture, and the rubber seal on your nails needs to be strong.

Your Nails Need Oil to Dry
The nail bed is an intricate mixture of keratin and cellophane that’s designed to lock in moisture and prevent future nail breakage. Without a strong seal, it will slowly suck in the moisture until your nail ends start to fade, whereas strong sealants increase elasticity in your nails so they can better hold their shape in the long run.
Nail Remover is Needed to Keep Your Palette Clean
Your hand’s natural oils help moisturize your skin, and the oil you apply to your nails helps their natural oils mix better, making them more moisture-infused. In addition, your nail polish will absorb the oils when you clean your hands, making it easier to get rid of off-gassing nail polish, acetone, and oil.
