The combination of black and white looks very sophisticated and, at the same time, bold. This color palette is most often used for a jacket, but white patterns on a dark matte finish look no less impressive.
Matte black with nude shades
Perhaps the most graceful and feminine design. It looks most advantageous when a nude shade is used as the main one on one or several nails of the hand. For greater contrast, you should take a glossy nude, you can also decorate it with dark patterns.

Another gentle option that simply cannot but be beautiful. Both pink patterns on a black matte base and highlighted holes or tips of the plate look good.

Glossy neon shades give black manicures new life, making them fun and bright. Any colors work well, especially those in the form of geometry or thin straight lines.

Matte dark green gel polish goes well with black. It is best to create a smooth transition from one color to another. But for creating drawings, small design elements and patterns, a lighter shade of green is better suited.
Combination of gray and black
This combination of colors will give your nails a calm, even classic look. But this does not mean that the manicure will turn out boring. Various patterns or smooth color transitions add variety to the design.
Manicure black with purple
Black and purple are the ideal base for creating a cosmic manicure. The very mixture of these colors creates a small universe on the nail plate. And if you add a little sparkle stars, the design will become doubly trendy.
Gold, silver with black matte top
Mirrored silver or gold lines, spots and patterns on rough dark nails create a feeling of elitism and high cost. This design always looks advantageous, despite its restraint.
Availability and variety of choice
The nail service procedure is very common these days. Many girls do not need to go to a specialist. The availability and choice of materials, ease of use, allows you to decorate the nails of a fashionista at home. For example, the painting can be easily replaced with a corresponding sticker, after which a wonderful pattern will appear on your nails in a few seconds.
Foil with gold, silver, and its colored variants allow you to create many interesting ideas. This includes casting, geometric shapes, leaves, flowers, and so on. You can experiment with color an infinite number of times.
Today it is important to make a difference on one of the nails, most often on the ring finger. The rest of the nails are covered with a solid color.
For example, we choose a matte black gel as the main background, and decorate one of the fingers to our liking. Such nails will not create a feeling of overdoing and will delight you until correction.
