Even the most conservative young ladies, who always paint nails in pastel shades, sometimes dream of bright accents and unusual solutions. To start the experiment, they should turn their attention to a combination of beige and black shades. It is still quite classic, suitable for everyday wear, and office dress code, and holiday events. At the same time, such a manicure is quite interesting, and it allows you to experiment and show your imagination.
Combination Features
A manicure combining black and beige shades is considered neutral, but attractive and has many advantages. In this pair, beige is always chosen as the base, which, incidentally, is also relevant for other combinations with this shade. Black is used to give contrast to the sometimes lost pastel color. In addition, beige itself requires an ideal nail, because any, even the slightest, imperfections will immediately become noticeable. Black can be used just to hide such fragments.
The combination of these two colors is also good because it allows you to adjust the shape of an imperfect nail. For example, choosing the right pattern or design of the coating, you will be able to stretch short fingers or, if necessary, visually shorten the excessive length of the nail plate. In addition, you can increase the width of the nails and even with the help of color give them the perfect almond shape.
Although black itself is always the same, beige allows you to play with shades. This color can be saturated or almost imperceptible, approach coffee or ocher.Thus, even the simplest coating can become different every time.
However, stylists still recommend choosing a beige tone, based on the type of their appearance. It is better for blondes to adhere to light and “light” colors, but for brunettes it is better to go into rich and brightest shades. Tanned young ladies are allowed to play in contrasts - choose a rather light color that stands out on dark skin. We must not forget about the combination of several shades of beige in one design of manicure.
If we talk about different color types, it is better for autumn young ladies to choose warm shades, from peach to ocher, which tend to pink and orange colors. Winter girls are much more suitable for gray or greenish tones, that is, coffee and diluted umber. The spring girl, like autumn, also prefers warm colors, but more prone to pure ocher and yellow. Summer girls look best with dark beige flowers.
There are other rules for such color combinations.
- Firstly, you need to be extremely careful when drawing horizontal black lines - they quite noticeably shorten the nail plate. If the nail is initially short, it makes sense to lengthen it using vertical stripes, patterns and other elongated images.
- Secondly, it is necessary to track so that the shape of the nail is smooth. At the same time, black color accentuates corners, so with this tone you have to be more careful, but beige, on the contrary, will help in this situation.
- Finally thirdly Do not repeat exactly the same manicure in pedicure. For nails on the feet, it is best to leave a clean, nude shade with neat accents on a pair of fingers, although black will look good. In any case, the color chosen for the pedicure must match one of the colors used for manicure.
Suitable complementary colors
Black and beige manicure is good in itself, and it is very controversially combined with other colors. But if you still want additional shades, then it is better to prefer a varnish of white color, pale pink or gold. In all cases, its use should be minimal for emphasis. For example, if a design with animal spots is selected, then part of the nails is covered with black, a pair of fingers are beige, and spots are painted on them with black and gold.
Interesting options
Black and beige shades allow you to create completely different design solutions. For example, on the nails you can apply a peculiar variation of the classic jacket. It looks very elegant and versatile, but at the same time much more interesting than the regular version. The same can be said about the now popular moon manicure - in black and beige shades it looks very harmonious.
It is worth explaining that most often the beige base comes in combination with a black pattern or pattern. In this case, all nails are covered with a neutral shade, and then two or three fingers are decorated with an elegant image. In this case, it will be appropriate to add rhinestones - the black tint looks very good in addition with shiny volumetric elements. Successfully, these shades will “play” in a manicure that combines different textures. As a rule, beige matte varnish and black glossy are taken for coating.
As an option, the nail plate of all nails is completely covered with a pastel shade, and then graceful curls are applied on the tips of a pair of fingers with shiny contrast. By the way, you can try combining beige glossy and matte black. In this case, a combination of various geometric shapes occurs. Two fingers can be completely covered with black, three nails covered with beige and draw small black squares, and the rest divided vertically in different proportions.
To create a patterned manicure on your nails, you first need to give the plate a neat shape and cover it with a base. Then the primary color is selected and the color is optional. For beginners, at this stage, you can limit yourself to painting most of the nails in the first color, pairs of three in the second color and applying over the finished stickers with patterns.
Since black and beige manicure is quite versatile, there are attractive variations for the holidays. As a rule, they are characterized by the use of rhinestones and sparkles. Rhinestones themselves can be either a small accent or the center of the composition. The same applies to sparkles, only the only rule is that they must repeat the existing shades or be as close to them as possible. This means that, for example, green or red glitter will be completely inappropriate.
Bright or voluminous decor should not be placed on all fingers in a row, it is enough to limit yourself to just a couple of plates.
Beige and black varnishes allow you to create an original "sugar" manicure. First, the nail is covered with a base coat, then two layers of the main color. The last of them should not be dried, since immediately decorative sand crumbles from above, the shade of which perfectly harmonizes with the base. Having removed the excess, you will need to dry the nails. In this case, by the way, a colorless coating is not applied, otherwise the “sugar content” will be spoiled. It should also be added that "Sugar" can only be placed on a pair of nails or even on small parts.
Design Examples
Feminine young ladies will definitely appreciate the manicure in black and beige tones, the creation of which uses lace. This decor element can be either drawn or recreated using special stickers. The second, of course, is more convenient for home use. It will be very beautiful if you cover the plates with beige, tending to pink, and then glue the lace flowers in the zone of the hole.
So that the nails do not look boring, it is necessary that the lace inserts are different in size. Another option is a matte beige manicure, on the ends of which lace patterns are drawn.
A good idea is a jacket with black "smiles" made on all fingers except the nameless one. The fourth finger is accentuating - it has a black lacquer applied on it with a delicate shirt design using glitter in the hole zone. The image is formed from dots and thin lines. In conclusion, the nails are covered with shiny varnish. Such a manicure will equally be appropriate in everyday life, and at social events.
Girls with healthy and polished nails should definitely try a black and beige matte manicure. Most of the nails are painted black, and a pair of fingers is beige, with a black triangle in the middle. As an additional emphasis on the same nails, a golden rhinestone is placed in the hole zone.
The manicure looks stylish and glamorous with vertical and horizontal single stripes on some of the nails. First, the middle and ring fingers are covered with a matte nude varnish. Following them, a black stripe is drawn: on one - horizontal, and on the other - vertical, then covered with silver rhinestones. The remaining nails are covered in black gloss.
Black-beige manicure, combining several techniques, will turn out to be very beautiful. The nails are completely covered with glossy black and milk varnishes. Then a black “hole” is formed on one of the beige nails, and on the second - using a spraying pattern of a black rose. Incidentally, this design is suitable for short records. Manicure with the use of abstract geometric compositions always looks stylish. Beige-pink varnish is taken as the basis, and when it is completely dry - various combinations of rectangles and stripes are applied to all fingers.
For example, on the little finger there are two horizontal rectangles, on the nameless - the vertical rectangle from which a thin strip comes out, on the index - the horizontal rectangle, the vertical strip is perpendicular to it, and so on.
