Black and yellow manicure: bright and unusual ideas
The brighter and most spectacular nail design looks with the use of varnishes in contrasting tones and different textures. Among the variety of color schemes, a black and yellow manicure stands out, which creates the illusion of a velvety design of nails.
Peculiarities
The velvety effect on the nails is created due to the unusual color combination. If black varnish is used as the basis for the design, then the decor made in yellow looks even lighter on a dark background than if yellow varnish was used as a monochromatic coating. The same happens with a black tint. In the design of nails with a pattern of black on a yellow background, black varnish looks even darker and deeper. As a result, the volume is inherent in velvet fabric.
You can use these features of the black and yellow color combination to visually expand the area of the marigold - the yellow tone is the basis, black is used in the form of a border - or narrowing (the main color is black, the frame is yellow varnish).
The creation of visual effects on the nails is also associated with the gradation of yellow shades. Warm yellow against the background of cold black, as it were, rises, giving the manicure volume. If you take a cold yellow, for example, the color of lemon, then, on the contrary, it will "sink" inward against the background of a black coating, creating something akin to an openwork design. The same situation will be created when using a warm black shade against the background of a lemon coating.
If your goal is to add volume to your nails, you should use a pear, gold or saffron shade of yellow on a black background.
The less the accent color in the manicure, the brighter it is visible against a contrasting background. This rule must always be remembered so that instead of the original design of nails, you do not get lurid bad taste.
The more the area of the nail is covered with black varnish against a yellow background, the less variegated the result will look. Interspersed with thin black lines in the yellow base will create a velvet effect.
Relief in a black and yellow manicure is created by contrasting joints. The more of them there are on the nail, the more voluminous its design will seem.
Following the above recommendations, you can create a relief manicure without using matte varnish and nail art.
Varieties
In recent years, ombre manicure has been at the height of fashion. It can be executed vertically or horizontally. Although the masters create all the new variations of the gradient design of nails, the classic design is not inferior to the leading position. By itself, the procedure for staining nails in black and yellow ombre is simple, but it requires a certain talent from the master, and perseverance and patience from the client.
The black and yellow nail design with a pattern looks very original. As an image, you can choose butterflies, floral motifs, exotic fruits, lace, geometric abstractions, bows. If you supplement such a manicure with small pebbles, smooth transitions and curves, it will add grace and femininity to the image.
Black and yellow moon manicure in its classic form is a manifestation of a restrained aesthetics. Today, masters offer all sorts of design variations with holes: 2 or 3 holes, interspersed with sizing and french techniques, 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 an English letter V, with complex stencils. The area of the nail plate does not remain uniform, but is decorated with artistic painting with decorative elements in the form of rhinestones, broths, sequins.
Nail shape
Oval-shaped nails are the 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 medium-length nails. Short marigolds have some limitations and difficulties in performing certain ornaments, but if the master still manages to do this, then the overall design looks very elegant.
The oval attracts with its smooth streamlined contours. It echoes the cuticle outlines, looks soft and even. It is not easy to work with an oval shape of nails, since the master is required to comply with the basic rules of symmetry.
In order for the oval shape to look harmonious on wide nails, they must be visually extended. To give an oval shape to the nails in the form of a trapezoid, it is necessary to correct the side edges.
The oval is suitable for nails of any length. Short nails look cute and quivering. This length will suit young fashionistas or mature ladies. Preference for short oval nails should be given to representatives of such professions as doctors, massage therapists, athletes, cooks and others. Young mothers should also choose a short length of nails so as not to injure their newborn baby.
Square nails are among the most sought after. This shape has several options: soft square, standard or beveled. The length of these nails can vary from extremely short to extremely long. The square on long nails looks the most impressive, but it has its own difficulties. As the nail plate grows, the corners begin to curl towards the center, as a result of which an interesting geometric solution is lost. Therefore, those who wear long nails are advised to prefer the shape of a square with rounded "ears".
What outfits does it go 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 in light yellow tones, and for ordinary everyday life - glossy varnishes of the color of amber, flax or honey.
This design will look good with a summer dress in nude colors. In this case, it is better to choose a warm yellow tone (amber, pear).
The addition of black and yellow manicure with accessories of the women's wardrobe, which either completely repeat the shade on the nails, or will be a tone darker, will look beautiful.
Advice
In a black and yellow manicure, it is appropriate to use decorative elements: rhinestones, sequins, sparkles. But they should be in warm colors in order to effectively set off an unusual color scheme. And, of course, there should not be many such elements, otherwise the manicure will turn out to be very colorful and overloaded.
Beautiful examples
The nails look royal in black and yellow colors, where four nails are decorated in a pale yellow color, and the little finger is decorated with golden glitter. The ring finger is adorned with a black openwork crown and a hole decorated with the same golden glitter as the little finger.
A girlish manicure with bows looks cute and mischievous. The index and ring fingers on each hand are covered with warm yellow varnish and decorated with small black dots, while the little finger, middle and thumb are painted in a pale yellow color. The edge of the nail plates on these fingers is shaped in the same tone as on the little finger and index finger, with the addition of black peas. The hem is not even, but with a beveled corner. This condition is necessary, since a clear geometric line in such a light manicure will look too formal. The junction of pale yellow and deep yellow tones is decorated with a painted black butterfly with a small rhinestone in the middle.
The black and yellow gradient looks luxurious. The soft transition from warm yellow to warm black allows this design to be combined with any evening outfit. The design of the ring fingers gives even more solemnity to the manicure. They are painted in glossy black varnish and richly decorated with V-shaped rhinestones.
The design with sunflowers looks very unusual. You can decorate with painting one or more marigolds on the 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, thin lines are drawn with black varnish. The edge of the nail is covered with black varnish and decorated with sparkles. The rest of the marigolds are made in a solid yellow or black color. If desired, black nails can be decorated with sparkles by analogy with the edge of sunflowers.
The design of nails with butterflies looks elegant. Lemon yellow is used as the main tone, and the outlines of butterflies are drawn with black varnish. These cute creatures are decorated with multi-colored rhinestones.
As an everyday option, a black and yellow ombre manicure decorated with a honeycomb pattern is suitable.
