From micro manis to barely-there bobs, this year’s beauty looks will cut above the rest. Millennials and Gen Z are trading in their long, coffin-shaped nails for short French manis. They’ll opt for short braids and chopped fringes instead of long, luscious locks. In 2023, small beauty gets its big break. It’s goodbye to so long.
