Black and white pedicure: maximum contrasts

Black and white is the most sought-after classic color combination that is always in vogue. The design of nails, decorated in such a range, goes well with any outfit and always looks gorgeous. With this combination, it's so easy to express your individuality!

Despite the fact that the design uses only two colors, you can easily play with their saturation, finishes, patterns and decorations, create new and unexpected design options in styles such as strict classics, 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 special requirements are imposed on it. The bright contrast immediately reveals any errors.

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

• If we talk about the most popular black and white pedicure options, then the marble design stands out here. Imitation of white or black stone with splashes is done simply using a needle. It should be said that this is a fairly young design technique. The main color is applied to the nail, black and white varnish are mixed on the foil, and lines are applied with a needle on the still wet surface.

• Another popular option is the aquarium drawing, but it can only be fully realized on elongated nails. Acrylic and gel create the feeling of a glass wall, behind which there are representatives of the underwater world.
• Lunar pedicure also does not lag 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, cutting the nail into two equal parts.
• You should definitely pay attention to the option with dots, which can be both very small and large. White dots on a matte black background look a little bold. Circles can be distributed over the entire nail, moved to one side, combined with other shapes.

Fashion never stands still, styles are constantly changing, something is forgotten, and new, bolder ones come to replace old traditions. French manicure in black and white palette will never fade into oblivion, as it is considered a universal proposal 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 by using elements such as:

• beads or rhinestones;
• small scraps 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 start making out the nail plate, it must be put in order. The whole process can be divided into several stages:

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

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

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

To make a simple pedicure with straight stripes, you must first choose a base color. We cover our nails with it completely, wait until it dries. We prepare even strips from scotch tape or special adhesive tape. We put them on the dried varnish in such a way 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 cover the nail in the spaces between the adhesive tape with contrasting varnish. You do not need to immediately remove the tape, as you can lubricate the coating, it is better to wait until it dries completely. In the presence of special stencils, we act according to the same scheme: first we cover the nail with the main color, and then we glue the stencil and fill it with another varnish. While the coating is still wet, you can glue beads or rhinestones.
