I feel don't comfort with long nails. But I love to have manicure sometimes, I really need advice how to make my nails look beautiful when I manicure them...
My nails are almost always short, just make them unique and neat. And always add a top coat! Don't have them too short though, be able to file them off nice. So they aren't nubs.
I play the piano as well and keeping my nails short is a sacrifice for us girls. So as you can see in my picture i cut my nails up top the end of my finger and just file them into square shapes. I still find them pretty :)
I love multicolor manis for short nails. It's easier than fitting intricate nail art on small canvases but there are plenty of those that work great. I have to wear my nails super short too but I never run out of things to paint on them :)
Also try gradient nails! I work in the medical field and have to have short unpolished nails at work (ugh!) but I love to paint my nails! So I put on and take off polish almost everyday! Make sure to moisturize to keep them healthy!
i have some pics posted of designs for short nails, i was going to post them but i dont want to take up so much space. just easier for you to check out my pics :)

thanks for your advice, but I should always make sure they're short enough so that I can practice my piano

I like doing a fun accent nail when I have short nails. Unexpected color combos are always a good choice too!
