Black and white pedicure: maximum contrasts

Black and white is the most sought-after classic color combination that always remains in fashion. The design of nails decorated in such a range is suitable for any outfit and always looks chic. Using this combination is so easy to express your personality!

Despite the fact that only two colors are used in the design, you can easily play with their richness, decoration, patterns and decorations, create new and unexpected design options in such styles as strict classic, avant-garde, gothic. For some, the combination of black and white nail polish may seem simple and boring, but often elegance lies precisely in simplicity.

Black-and-white painting looks amazing with any outfit, but it has special requirements. Vivid contrast immediately reveals any errors.

• Often, images of flora and fauna are used as ideas for drawing a picture, since flowers and birds create a special mood. The most daring fashionistas draw “animal” ornaments on their nails.

• If we talk about the most popular versions of black and white pedicure, then the marble design stands out. Imitation of white or black stone with intersperses is done simply using a needle. It is worth saying that this is a fairly young design technique. The main color is applied to the nail, black and white varnish is mixed on the foil, and lines are drawn with a needle on a still-dry surface.

• Another popular option is an aquarium pattern, but it can be fully realized only on elongated nails. Acrylic and gel create the feeling of a glass wall, behind which there are representatives of the underwater world.
• Lunar pedicure is also not far behind in popularity.The crescent can be made black or white, they look equally good on nails.

• The option is gaining more and more popularity when not a crescent is drawn, but a triangle dissecting the nail into two equal parts.
• Be sure to pay attention to the option with points, which can be both very small and large. White dots on a matte black background look a little cheeky. Circles can be distributed throughout the nail, move in one direction, combine with other shapes.

Fashion never stands still, styles are constantly changing, forgetting something, and new, bolder ones are replacing the old traditions. A French manicure in a black and white palette will never sink into oblivion, as it is considered a universal offer for nails of any shape and length. Such nails with a snow-white “smile” demonstrate the sophistication of a woman, her sophistication.

You can make the design even more attractive using elements such as:

• beads or rhinestones;
• small pieces of newspaper;
• sequins;
• lace etc.

A beautiful pedicure can be easily done on your own, thereby saving time and money on visiting the salon. Before you begin to design a nail plate, it must be put in order. The whole process can be divided into several stages:

• immerse your feet in warm water to soften the cuticle;
• add freshly squeezed lemon juice;

• the shape of the nails is adjusted using a standard nail file;
• cuticle cut with a bamboo stick;
• when burrs appear, they are cut with nippers.

To apply the drawing you will need needles, scotch tape, small brushes, beads, a white pencil, stencils, black, white varnish and acrylic. Beginners are advised to start with stripes, since such a contrast combination requires clear lines, and this can only be learned with experience.

To make a simple pedicure with even stripes, you must first select the primary color. We cover them completely with nails, wait until it dries. We prepare even strips of tape or special adhesive tape. We put them on the dried varnish so that the spaces between them form lines. It can be one strip or several, which will be located in different directions, it all depends on the imagination.

Now we cover the nail in the intervals between the adhesive tape with a contrasting varnish. It is not necessary to immediately remove the adhesive tape, since you can lubricate the coating, it is better to wait until it dries completely. In the presence of special stencils, we proceed according to the same scheme: first we cover the nail with the main color, and then we stick the stencil and fill it with another varnish. While the coating has not yet dried, you can glue beads or rhinestones.
