The design of nails with the use of varnishes of contrasting tones and different textures looks brighter and most effective. Among the variety of color schemes, black and yellow manicure stands out, which creates the illusion of a velvet nail design.
Features
The velvet effect on the nails is created due to the unusual color combination. If black lacquer is used as the basis for design, then the decor done in a yellow tone looks even brighter against a dark background than if a yellow lacquer was used as a plain coating. The same thing happens with a black tint. In the design of nails with a black pattern on a yellow background, black polish looks even darker and deeper. As a result, a volume characteristic of velvet fabric is created.
You can use these features in black and yellow color combination to visually expand the area of the marigold - the yellow tone is the basis, black is used as a border or narrowing (the main color is black, the frame is yellow lacquer).
The creation of visual effects on the nails is also associated with a gradation of yellow shades. Warm yellow against the background of cold black rises, as it were, giving volume to the manicure. If you take cold yellow, for example, the color of a lemon, then it, on the contrary, will “sink” deep into the background of the black coating, creating something akin to an openwork design. The same situation will arise when using a warm black shade against the background of a lemon coating.
If your goal is to make the design of nails voluminous, it is worth using a pear, golden or saffron shade of yellow on a black background.
The smaller the color accent in the manicure, the brighter it is noticeable on a contrasting background. This rule must always be remembered so that instead of the original design of the nails, you do not get a lurid bad taste.
The larger the area of the nail will be covered with black varnish against a yellow background, the less colorful the result will look. Introducing thin black lines into the yellow base will create a velvet effect.
The relief in black and yellow manicure is created by contrasting joints. The more they will be on the nail, the more voluminous its design will seem.
Following the above recommendations, you can create a relief manicure without the use of matte varnish and nail art.
Varieties
In recent years, at the peak of fashion, there is an ombre manicure. It can be made in a vertical or horizontal position. Although the masters are creating new variations of the gradient design of nails, the classic design is not inferior to the leading position. The procedure for painting nails in black and yellow ombre itself is simple, but it requires a certain talent from the master, and perseverance and patience from the client.
Black and yellow design of nails with a pattern looks very original. As the image, you can choose butterflies, floral motifs, exotic fruits, lace, geometric abstractions, bows. If you complement this manicure with small pebbles, smooth transitions and bends, this will add to the image of grace and femininity.
The black and yellow moon manicure in its classic version is a manifestation of restrained aesthetics. Today, craftsmen offer all kinds of design variations with holes: 2 or 3 holes, interspersed techniques of measurement and service, decor with rhinestones, sequins.
Classic French manicure using black and yellow color has also undergone significant fashion innovations. For example, the edge of a marigold, previously shaped as a crescent, can be decorated with other forms: a straight line or at an angle (this is especially true for square-shaped nails), in the form of the English letter V, with complex stencils. The area of the nail plate does not remain monophonic, but is decorated with art painting with decorative elements in the form of rhinestones, broths, sequins.
Nail shape
Nails in the shape of an oval are most convenient in design, since any design and pattern will look very nice on such nails. Of course, it is more convenient to work with nails of medium length. Short nails have some limitations and difficulties in the implementation of certain ornaments, but if the master succeeds in doing this, the overall design looks very elegant.
The oval attracts with its smooth streamlined contours. He echoes the outlines of the cuticle, looks soft and even. It is not easy to work with the oval shape of nails, as the master is required to observe the basic rules of symmetry.
In order for the oval shape to look harmoniously on wide nails, they must be visually extended. To give an oval shape to the nails in the form of a trapezoid, you need to adjust the side faces.
Oval is appropriate for nails of any length. Short nails look cute and reverent. This length is suitable for young fashionistas or mature ladies. Preference for short oval nails should be given to representatives of such professions as doctors, masseurs, athletes, cooks and others. Young mothers should also choose a short length of nails so as not to injure the newborn baby.
Square type nails are one of the most sought after. This form has several options: soft square, standard or beveled. The length of such nails can vary from extremely short to extremely long. A square on long nails looks most impressive, but it has its own difficulties. As the nail plate grows, the corners begin to curl up to the center, as a result of which an interesting geometric solution is lost. Therefore, those who wear long nails, it is recommended to prefer the shape of a square with rounded “ears”.
What outfits are combined with?
Black and yellow manicure can be worn as an everyday option or for office work. In the latter case, it is better to choose matte coatings of light yellow tones, and for ordinary everyday life - glossy varnishes in the colors of amber, linen or honey.
Such a design will look good with a summer dress of nude flowers. A yellow tone in this case is better to choose a warm (amber, pear).
The addition of black and yellow manicure with accessories of a women's wardrobe will look beautiful, either that will completely repeat the shade on the nails, or will be a tone darker.
Tips
In black and yellow manicure, it is appropriate to use decorative elements: rhinestones, sequins, sparkles. But they must be in warm colors to effectively shade the unusual color scheme. And, of course, there should not be many such elements, otherwise the manicure will turn out to be very variegated and overloaded.
Beautiful examples
Royal nails look in black and yellow, where four nails are decorated in pale yellow, and the little finger is golden glitter. A black lace crown and a hole decorated with the same golden glitter as the little finger adorns the ring finger.
Manicure with bows looks cute and mischievously girlish. The index and ring fingers on each hand are covered with warm yellow varnish and decorated with small black peas, and the little finger, middle and thumb are painted in a pale yellow color. The edge of the nail plates on these fingers is formed in the same tone as on the little finger and index, with the addition of black peas. The hem is not even, but with a beveled angle. This condition is necessary, since a clear geometric line in such a light manicure will look too formal. The joint of pale yellow and rich yellow tones is decorated with a painted black butterfly with a small rhinestone in the middle.
The black and yellow gradient looks luxurious. A soft transition from warm yellow to a warm black shade allows you to combine this design with any evening outfit. Even more solemn manicure gives the design of the ring fingers. They are painted in black lacquer with a glossy texture and richly decorated with rhinestones in the shape of the letter V.
A design with sunflowers looks very unusual. You can decorate with painting one or more nails on your hand. For this, the base color of a pale yellow, almost white, shade is selected. Sunflower petals are drawn in a darker tone of yellow. To give them relief along the contour of the petals with black varnish, thin lines are drawn. The edge of the nail is covered with black varnish and decorated with sparkles. The rest of the nails are made in plain yellow or black. If desired, black nails can be decorated with sparkles by analogy with the edge of sunflowers.
The nail design with butterflies looks elegant. Lemon yellow is used as the main tone, and the outlines of butterflies are drawn in black lacquer. These lovely creations are decorated with colorful rhinestones.
As a daily option, a black and yellow ombre manicure, decorated with "under the honeycomb" technique, is suitable.
