Long acrylic nails have been ruling the nail art world for quite some time, but some manicurists refused to embrace this trend—and still managed to find success. Betina Goldstein is the best example, and she’s proving the world your nails can look amazing even if you keep them short.
Goldstein is completely self-taught, but that didn’t stop her from working with a long list of celebrity clients, including Gemma Chan, Nicole Kidman, and Zoë Kravitz. What makes her designs so unique is the fact she manages to keep them minimalistic while adding intricate details to the mix.
Goldstein often uses pearls, tiny chains, and sequins, and enjoys experimenting with colorful and trendy prints, but her manicures never look too overwhelming. She prefers a clean and simple approach, and that’s why she avoids extensions and prefers working with healthy natural nails.
Goldstein draws inspiration from random objects she finds at craft stores and enjoys coming up with creative ways to incorporate them into her work. She loves challenging herself by trying new designs that require a lot of tiny details and often tries to come up with manicures that perfectly match the jewelry from her brand Double Moss.
