If you didn't know this, pushing your cuticles back is a great way to add some length and dimension to your nails. But if you have never done this or are unsure, always go to a professional to get your cuticles pushed back. This is because doing so on your own could damage your nail bed.
02Apply pastel nail colours

One of the easiest ways to fake long nails is to paint your nails in a pastel shade. These colours are perfect to help your nails, as well as fingers, look longer and thinner.
03Try nail contouring

If you are someone who prefers darker shades over lighter ones, then this could prove to be a handy tip. When you're applying a dark shade of polish, leave about 2-3mm of space empty at the sides of your nails to create the illusion of slimmer, longer nails.
04French manicure to the rescue

Who said French manicure is just for girls with long nails? If you have nails that just barely grow over your fingers, then you could get a French manicure. The white colour at the tips will help create the illusion of length. Awesome, isn't it?
05Choose your nail shape wisely

We know you love square-shaped nails a lot, but if you're trying to make your nails look longer, then this may not be the best shape for you. Square nails tend to make your nails look shorter than they actually are. Therefore, you should opt for round or almond shape to make your nails appear longer.
