It's not that red nails have ever gone out of style, it's just that the variation of shades and the shape of the nail changes. For example, in the '80s, long pointy nails rocked, and in the '90s, long rounded nails were stylin'. This season, short red nails are red hot! Just check out the digits on trend setters Keri Russell, Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera and Mary-Kate Olsen.
As for color suggestions, you already know what my favorites are—and if you're not into those, there is always the Deborah Lippmann Lady in Red Collection and as well as some past red nail polish picks. Enjoy!

20I have short red nails now. I recently had a craving for red nails and I never keep mine long. Good to now my inner beauty instincts are not a faux pas.

23I don't like when they chip though.
24I love this look!
25I love my nails short and I love red so... perfect!
26I always want to paint my nails, but I'm worried it'll chip or stain them when I'm ready to go back natural. I might still give it a try, it is super cute. I guess I'll have to change my toes from hot pink to red as well...
27Very cute.
28heart it
29So 50's I love it!!
30I have red on my nails now and I love it, they make me feel feminine. I hate to have nails that go past my finger tips though.
31I agree, red colored nails are a timeless look
32Whenever I do my nails red they are always short. This makes hands look really good.
33Thank god; I'm so sick of dark, long nails. It looks artificial that way. I say the darker the color, the shorter the nail.
34I had red on my nails last week and my boyfriend made me take it off because he said the red didn't look summery enough! gah!
35I really like the look! So cute. I have long acrylics right now, so short red ones may be what I get next time!
36love it, works wit everything, wearing it now
37*yay* My nails are not very long atm and shiny red nail polish is just what they need.
38I have always had short nails but i never paint them cause i don't like the way they look so i just end up painting my toe nails but i think i might give it a try and go RED!
39Haha, I think I started this trend! haha, Pro Finish in Valentine for me!
40i don't know what my problem is but i can only ever have my fingernails bare or french manicured. i have to stop being so boring because this trend is so cute!
