Black nail design scares away many fashionistas. It seems that such an aggressive manicure is suitable only for teenagers who dress in the Gothic style. But despite its harsh color, black manicure can be gentle, stylish, and even romantic. It all depends on what kind of performance technique and decor of nails you choose.

Specificity

This color looks good at any length. Therefore, do not deny yourself it, even if you have recently cut the nails or they just have not had time to grow to the desired size. It is worth carefully choosing the technology with which you are going to implement it.

Gel polish is at the peak of popularity today. With its help, you can achieve the effect of smooth natural nails of the desired length and shape. Depending on individual characteristics, it stays on nails from 2 to 4 weeks. Therefore, before doing such a bright manicure, think about what you will wear it to work or study with.

Regular black polish is a very practical solution if you need it literally for one evening. After this special case, you can easily remove it from the nails and be able to color them with a calmer shade. But it has a much shorter service life than gel polish. And in a week you will have to do a manicure again.

For lovers of long bright nails, extension is an ideal option. You can not be afraid for the safety of nails and their cover. In addition, only the coating will be black and it will be easy to change it whenever you want.

Color combinations

In addition to a plain black manicure, you can apply various techniques and combinations with other colors.From this image will only be more interesting and unusual. Black is a classic and versatile color that suits almost all shades. It is very comfortable. One has only to dilute it with pink or beige, and it no longer looks so brutal.

Black and white is a classic combination that will never go out of style. It personifies the confrontation of good and evil, and in Japanese culture it is in these colors that one of the main symbols, Yin and Yang, is executed. This, by the way, is a great idea for creating a manicure in ethnic style.

Black with orange is a bright and rich combination. The only drawback may be the problem of choosing the optimal image for such nails for every day. If you are going on vacation, then such a duet will be very appropriate.

Two saturated colors - black and blue, create the perfect combination. Despite the apparent gloom, a manicure in such colors will look very stylish. These are the colors of the basic wardrobe, therefore, problems with the selection of style for them should not arise. How exactly to combine blue and black colors depends on your preference. It can be both drawings and a smooth gradient.

A light turquoise hue softens the severity of black. Drawings of this tone on a black background look especially interesting. But do not get carried away with them - design only a nameless nail in a similar style, this will be enough to give the manicure individuality and originality.

Black with green is a bold combination. It can be both very light tones and dark saturated shades. If you want to try the last combination, then pay attention to the chameleon varnish. When the sun enters, it will cast either black or emerald green.

Red with black - a combination for fatal beauties. It will suit brunettes. To make the image look harmonious, it will be enough to pick up a bright red lipstick to match the varnish. The smooth transition from black to red also looks interesting. But such a manicure can not be called everyday. For girls who are forced to comply with a strict dress code at the workplace, this option is also not suitable.

The tandem with pink speaks of your versatility. On the one hand, you are a strong and confident person, on the other hand, you are not without romance and enthusiasm. It is worth making just one nail in pink, and the black manicure will sparkle in a new way. You can also play with a top coating. Making it matte will give your nails a velvety feel.

It is impossible to list all the ideas and options for combining black with gold and silver. It can be a jacket, and beautiful patterns, and complex geometry, and the design of a certain part (corner, area near the cuticle) in these shiny colors. It is safe to say that there will be very spectacular duets that will not go unnoticed by others.

Fashion trends

Every season, manufacturers and masters do not tire of inventing new techniques, effects and methods of performing manicure. As for black marigolds, today the following options for their design are most in demand.

Matte

A noble matte tone will make the nails velvety. Matte black manicure can be combined with gloss. Such a difference of textures on one hand looks noble and non-trivial. This can be the design of one nail in gloss, and a kind of jacket, where the gloss will only be on the free edge of the nail.

French

It has long ceased to be monotonous and boring. Here, a combination of a black base with gold or multi-colored tips is acceptable, and the design of only the free edge in black with the nude base of the rest of the nail.

Kamifubiki

These round sequins won the hearts of many fashionistas. When light rays hit the nails, it seems that they are played by perky sunbeams. For a black background, you can choose kamifubiki of any color. Just keep in mind that light shades will look much darker on a black base.

Chrome powder

Relatively new technology. With its help create a fashionable mirror manicure. The ideal basis for its application is just black varnish (gel polish). And although it will no longer look pure black, the mirror effect will force others to draw attention to itself. In addition, it can be easily combined with silver accessories and shoes fashionable this season.

Ombre

Another name for this amazing smooth effect is gradient. Best of all, if the master has a special device - an airbrush. Then the effect is amazing. Color smoothly passes one into another without any layers and stripes. You can try to create it with a brush, but it will be more difficult, and you will not be able to achieve a smooth gradient. With black color you can combine absolutely any shade that suits your style.

Marble

You should not draw up all the nails in this technique. Marble looks much more elegant and interesting as an accent on one or two nails. With a dark base, the "veins" can be white, beige or even pink. With high-quality execution, the complete impression is created that the nail is made of stone.

Decor Techniques

To date, there are many ways to decorate nails. In addition, there are no restrictions on the use of various patterns, drawings and stencils. This allows you to create a unique manicure on your nails each time. After all, it’s nice to realize that just such a design is only with you and no one else.

The location and inclination of the strips may vary depending on your wishes. Experienced craftsmen will be happy to offer you interesting options that have already been tested. But no one forbids you to invent your own design. For example, strips can have a different color and width. You can vary their slope and intersection.

It is not necessary to observe symmetry on all nails. Remember how the modular paintings are designed. They are only united by one theme, but each of them is an independent unit. The same rule applies to manicure.

The patterns are interesting in that the master creates absolute masterpieces on his nails each time. This is very similar to the work of the artist. Even with similar motives, you can get different results. Maybe you prefer ethnic motifs or interesting prints that mimic the color of animals and birds. By the way, you can use special sticky pictures to create them.

Lunar manicure has not surprised anyone for a long time. The area near the base (having the shape of a crescent) is painted in a color different from the rest of the nail. A manicure with holes in black is very practical. If you design them in nude shades, then a slightly overgrown nail will not stand out so much.

Foil is an interesting material. On a black background, with its help you can create the effect of a shiny shabby surface. The fact is that the foil has a unique application method. It is first applied to the nail, smeared with glue, and then the upper layer is removed. On the nail, only a shiny surface remains (figure).

If at first we said that black manicure can be gentle and romantic, then lace is just that option. Usually they draw up only part of the nail. Options look best with lace at the end or corner of the nail. The traditional color of the lace, of course, is white. But you can color it in gold and silver. By the way, it can easily be done independently. There are special stickers with a transparent base for this. When it lies on a black base, only the drawing will be visible, and not the entire sticker.

A veil on the nails is an option for mysterious and mysterious beauties. It looks very elegant with an evening toilet in dark colors. This effect is achieved through a special application technique. It is enhanced by applying a drawing of a veil (mesh, repeating patterns of black lace).

The assortment of specialized stores and beauty salons presents a variety of shades, sizes and shapes of rhinestones. Their overflows are literally mesmerizing. Using them in moderation on a black basis will give the manicure shine and chic.

If you do not want options with red and pink hearts, then you can ask the wizard just not to paint over the painted area or use a stencil. The heart will have a transparent tone. This design will no longer resemble children's naive motifs, but rather will characterize you as a fatal beauty.

Spangles are relevant everywhere and always. It is important to follow a sense of proportion and not turn your nails into sparkling Christmas toys. Gold stripes on a black background is a luxury in all its manifestation. Pay attention to the fact that different glosses have a different size and glow from each other. Due to this, you can achieve both the effect of light and unobtrusive shine, and a very bright picture.

Another decorative elements with which you can lay out the original pattern or design - broths. Working with them is very difficult due to the microscopic size. The master neatly puts every grain of sand in its place. Usually they are combined with larger stones or emphasize the pattern created on the nail.

Special varnishes - “chameleons” help to create interesting overflows. In different lighting conditions they have different shades from each other. It’s hard to believe that this is the same coverage. What kind of color your black varnish will cast depends on your desire. It can "go" in purple, green, blue and burgundy tones. As you can see, there is only a place for deep saturated shades.

Traditional Japanese or Chinese motifs are acceptable in the design of nails. One need only take into account one circumstance. Many will want to ask what this hieroglyph means. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to this. It is very profitable and interesting. Many people get tattoos for this purpose. You can pick up an interesting deep meaning, without worrying that now it will remain with you for life.

Black manicure with decorative bows looks very playful. However, it can not be called childish. With a certain design, it can even resemble piquant black stockings with the same element. But this is only one option. If you are going on a children's costume party, then remember the image of Mini. A black background and a pink large bow can be located on your nails.

In newspaper design, it will be appropriate to design all the nails in plain black varnish, and only one to decorate the “newspaper”. This will be especially true if your work is related to the print media, publishing house or other similar field.

Flowers on a black background look especially contrasting and bright. You can afford to draw a chic rose and a delicate tulip. Pay attention to the watercolor technique. Such a design can claim the title of an independent painting. It is a pity that only her life will be short-lived.

Magnetic powder, which appeared in the location of manicure masters relatively recently, allows you to create a light line on the nail. In this case, the color acquires volume and depth. This technique is called "Cat's Eye." Black saturated color at the same time looks even more attractive and interesting.

If you do not know what to combine black manicure with, then look at the basic colors of your wardrobe, and then make interspersed with the same tones on your own nails. Such a transition of color from clothes to nails will create a holistic image.

Tapes for manicure are affordable and greatly simplify the work. With their help, you can create perfectly even lines and geometric patterns. Moreover, this material can be used as a stencil, and as an independent decorative element.A manicure with ribbons can be performed even by novice masters.

Black is a noble basis for creating space design. The glitter of distant stars and galaxies on your nails will be bewitching. Another question is whether you can choose the appropriate image for such an original manicure.

To create the effect of “broken glass” a special film is used. The master glues it to the nail in a certain order, so that the impression of small fragments is created. It is worth choosing saturated shades, since the translucent texture of the film will be hidden by a dark background.

Combination with the image

Women and girls who have a strict dress code at work will not be able to afford black manicure. If your boss is not so strict, then elegant black will go well with a business suit. In addition, as mentioned above, these can be very calm and stylish combinations.

But do not associate black with mourning. When gold, sparkles or rhinestones are added, he changes his mood to the exact opposite. Look at the outfits of stars on the carpet. Each of them appeared in the spotlights in a black dress. Therefore, black manicure for special occasions is a great option.

The gothic image appears in the mind first when we talk about black manicure. If before that you also thought that it was suitable only for girls adhering to this style, now you see that this is not so. However, you can use elements of this style when creating a fashionable look. For example, a high platform is back in fashion today, and black things are basic in every girl’s wardrobe.

Do not be afraid of black manicure. Look at all the options described above. Let them inspire you to create your own interesting design.
