Advice on Acrylic nails?

Ok, so I have really short, bitten, gross nails... I'm not very knowledgeable on fake nails and my idea of a manicure is putting on another layer of cheap black nail polish when it starts to chip haha.

I have my sister's Graduation this Friday night, want to look nice for it, and I'm also pretty fed up with my hideous nails.

I've had acrylic nails once before, it broke the nail-biting habit for a while but the ones I had last time were really long and annoying, I couldn't do anything with them. Also don't plan to keep getting them re-done, just once to let my nails recover underneath.

I play guitar so I would prefer to have them as short as possible so I don't have to sacrifice guitar for pretty nails.
Plus I have a feeling long nails will get in the way of gripping when lifting.

I'm not sure what the best option is for short but still nice-looking fake nails... mine are beyond manicuring. Acrylic or Gel? Is it possible to do them shorter (not talon length) and on bitten nails?

Any advice would be great! thanks in advance
