I've now been struggling with this annoying thing for weeks, and I have to admit I'm running out of ideas. I truly prefer keeping the rest of my nails as long as they were - or at least longish, I'll _not_ cut all of my pretty ones because of those one or two shorter nails. So I just have to be creative.
The first step is, of course, to avoid all too strong colours and use more natural ones. For an example, the feminin red is gorgeus as always, but it certainly is quite a cruel colour. Fair pink is much better choice, because it leaves the line between nail and skin not so clear.

... But as we all know, I usually get pretty bored with that kind of a "typical solutions". This particular one is one of my old favourites. It gives a nice "spark" for the nails, but it's not too weird or obtrusive. And, what's the best, it makes you pay less focus to the lenght of the nails and more to the illustration.
I've also used strong colours (I'm not trying to confuse you, I'm just an artist) with white stripes. The vertical stripes are maybe the easiest way to create some kind of an illusion of longer plane. But when using this technique make always sure that the stripes are made with a brighter colour than the backgroung.

... Ps. I saw an absolutely lovely film today. It was called "Gracie's Choice" and it was about kids who have to grown up before them own parents. Sounds really boring and cliché, but the story was actually very unusual and interesting. I have to give a special credit to the actresses, the main characters did just amazingly well.
