Black manicure is a real decoration for every woman. With a unique manicure you can complete your look and express your individuality. Because this base color looks both elegant and daring. Don't think that black nail designs are always the same. Yes, with the help of black polish/gel you can create a wide variety of nail looks. The main thing is to choose the right addition that will fit perfectly with the black base. And, of course, suitable for adults or young women.
Black and white manicure
One of the trends this year was black and white manicure. When the most incredible and stylish combinations are created with the help of simple shades. The black coating allows you to make the image strict, and the white color perfectly complements the black. This is how a soft nail image is created based on the play of contrasts, but here you can experiment. Some girls choose interesting geometric designs, while others choose classic feminine flowers.
Black matte manicure
To create a fashionable look, you can use not only a glossy finish. Recently, matte black nails have become popular. They look very elegant and not so bright. However, the black matte finish can be decorated with a variety of details. They are selected at your discretion. What's fashionable? The trend is shiny decor, contrasting patterns, texture design and “different hands”.
Popular black manicure decor 2022
Incredible, fantasy author's design is always at the peak of popularity. Regardless of seasonal fashion delights, masterful work looks stylish and attractive. At the same time, each lady can create her own, unique image.
Black French
Every girl has done white French nails once in her life. This is a classic manicure that always looks appropriate on medium and long nails. As for the black jacket, try experimenting with matte, double, lunar and contrasting designs. The black shade is ideal for creating a French manicure. It goes with all outfits.
Long
Black manicure for long nails requires a thorough choice of designs. Not all designs will be successfully combined with luxurious black, and red can completely turn the design into a “vamp” style. Therefore, the most advantageous option is with square-shaped nails.
Black manicure with a pattern
An interesting option for a manicure would be a black coating with an unusual pattern. Black color perfectly sets off other colors, so you can safely experiment and choose what you like. For example, many women prefer graceful images that significantly soften the black color and make the image delicate. But you can ask the master to apply a specific small image that will reflect only your mood and character.
Black marigolds with inscriptions
A black manicure with a specific inscription would be a good idea. Latin letters are often chosen. Why? They look more elegant on the nail plate. You can write whatever you want. Try to find a unique word that has a specific meaning for you. It is worth remembering one rule: you can only apply the inscription to one nail on each hand. This will allow you to not overload your manicure and make it more elegant.
Beautiful black manicure
Some people mistakenly believe that you can look interesting if you use exclusively bright colors in your wardrobe. The same principle applies to manicure. But such a belief is long gone. Now even with a plain black nail polish you can look incredibly stylish. So, if you prefer beautiful, laconic ideas without decoration, you can choose a design with stamping or a slider. Black color will be an ideal basis for different designs - geometry, abstraction and even picturesque nail art.
Black manicure 2022: fashion trends
In 2022, not only a glossy texture will be popular, but also a stylish matte manicure. Nail experts note that it is not too flashy, so it is ideal not only for evening events, but also just for every day. Of course, if you want to make it more festive, you can use foil inserts or sparkles of different shades and sizes. Also do not forget that visual perception largely depends on the length and shape of the nails. Short square nails are the best choice for every day. At the same time, on long, sharp nails such a manicure will look provocative. Always take this nuance into account and make a choice before going to a beauty salon.
It is also worth noting that black manicure is often combined with other shades. In particular, with contrasting options in the form of white, pink, yellow, green and red. This allows you to experiment a little more with combinations and patterns as well. In turn, pastel colors along with a black finish are a little less common. But in general, this manicure looks interesting, especially if you decorate it with a slight haze effect or gold foil. By the way, in this case you can often see a glossy and matte finish in one manicure. This is a modern solution that will decorate absolutely any design.
Decorative accents in a black manicure make it more festive and noticeable. That's why fashionistas choose sparkles and rhinestones. Foil decor is also popular: kamifubuki, adhesive tape, prints and much more.
Black manicure with glitter
In many cases, glitter becomes a favorite detail in nail design. This year, you can again safely apply glitter and rhinestones to the nail plate - it’s relevant. But if earlier masters boldly decorated all nails with shiny details, now preference is given to a balanced manicure. For example, you can apply a glossy or matte black finish to three or four nails. And apply additional glitter or rhinestones to the rest. It will look incredibly stylish.
The most fashionable autumn manicure designs 2022
Let's talk about the coolest designs this fall.
This season, both classics are popular: patterns of autumn leaves, rowan trees and umbrellas, as well as new interesting things: multi-colored autumn marigolds, a thin double jacket and many, many animal prints combined with different types of patterns. Also this fall season, matte designs combined with animal prints and autumn leaves are very popular. In addition, designs with gold decor, made on a matte or glossy surface or in combination with two types of these coatings, are very popular. In general, let's take a closer look at all this autumn beauty and take a closer look at the hottest autumn nail trends.
Autumn French
Third place in our autumn nail parade, which has been occupied by French in its autumn interpretation for a year in a row. This design, as always, is universal and adapts to any image, be it a theater or an office. The following types of French jackets are the most popular this season:
- double slim jacket
- autumn pattern jacket
- jacket made in autumn colors
- black and white jacket
Even a classic French jacket with a white smile line, made on a transparent background, nude or milky, does not lose its position.
With gold decor
The fourth place in our autumn nail show this season is occupied by designs with gold decorations. In autumn, when everything is covered with golden foliage, this design looks especially harmonious. Gold foil looks very nice when paired with a glossy or matte top.
With glitter
The fifth place in the fashionable autumn nail show this year is occupied by the design with sequins. Like several seasons in a row, the highlight of one or two marigolds remains in trend. Also add to this the fashionable color of gel polish and the top design is ready.
Autumn nail designs
Autumn will give us dozens of nail art textures. Let's discuss the most popular sevens. Multi-colored leaves are the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to fall nail designs. Maple and oak leaves top the popularity list, but they don't have to be tied to a specific shape. Be creative and look for inspiration in our selection of photos.
As for autumn flowers and leaves, these are often various branches of fern, ears of wheat, maple leaves, rose buds, chrysanthemum branches, October and cosmos. They look very beautiful in combination with gold foil and various inscriptions.
Mushrooms
Painting mushrooms on your nails is much easier than picking them. At least in this case, it is not necessary to understand their types - both poisonous mushrooms and flying flies look great on your nails.
Trees
Bare tree branches put you in a poetic mood not only in an autumn park, but you can also decorate your nails with their silhouettes. Create a whole canvas in the impressionist style or limit yourself to a thin and laconic drawing - the result will be interesting in both cases.
Berries
Cranberry, lingonberry, rowan, sea buckthorn - all these berries, or rather their images, fit perfectly into the autumn nail design. In addition, they are very easy to paint - even a beginner can apply a bright spot of paint. An interesting manicure option for fall 2022.
It's raining
Transparent gel polish will help you reflect the crying sky on your nails. Use it to create voluminous droplets on your nails. The silhouette of an umbrella will add realism to the image.

Black manicure for short nails
Today, many fashionistas choose short nails. Because it is more convenient for everyday life. However, do not think that a short length allows you to create only a nude manicure. This year, fashionistas prefer black to other shades. It not only looks great on short nails, but also visually expands the surface of the nail. There are several types of coating: metallic (with mother-of-pearl), matte and glossy. Each of them looks different, but is equally attractive on nails less than 3 mm long.
Manicure black and silver
The classics of the genre can be successfully diversified by using a “rubbing”, which, shimmering in the light, creates a metallic sheen. Ideal for going to a disco party. A daring, dazzling option is not suitable for those who adhere to a strict dress code.
Black youth manicure

The most current designs in black manicure
No matter how stylish and distinctive a simple black color is, it always looks even better when combined with a trendy design. Modern trends in nail art are such that today you can safely choose absolutely any option. Self-expression is in fashion, so whatever nail design you choose, you'll hit the spot. And we will help you easily and simply decide on the appropriate nail art. Short, long, almond-shaped, oval, angled and many more - there are ideas for black nail designs ahead that will complement all your favorite outfits.
Marble
Marble is one of the most noble and elegant manicure designs, which looks especially stylish in black. At the same time, you can choose one of several options for using this color: either make white and gold stains on a black background, or vice versa, fill the light background with gray and black patterns. By the way, marble is not only one of the most elegant designs, but also one of the easiest designs to execute.
French
French nail design has always been and remains a symbol of constant classics, European chic and the most elegant image. Why not dilute the beloved, but already familiar design with a new trend? “Smile” lines in black can instantly refresh the overall look of your nail design, and now those around you notice your manicure and look at it with all their might.
Animal print
Just a few years ago, it was almost impossible to leave your apartment without noticing a leopard print skirt or some other animal print. The trend for animal-like patterns continued to gain momentum, and soon entirely new options, such as zebra, cow, and tiger, gained attention. But over time, like most trends, this trend seemed to gradually die down. That is until street fashion, coupled with the power of Instagram, proved that animal prints are making a comeback in 2022. Today they can be successfully incorporated into any manicure and look very stylish at the same time. How to do this is shown below.
Foil
Five years ago, foil in manicure was used more actively than ever. It seemed that the trend had already become boring and outlived its usefulness. But it was not there! 2022 makes even things possible that were difficult to imagine, and most of all this concerns the return of old trends. Low-waisted jeans, thin eyebrows, and now foil in manicure designs—everything is coming back.
It is noteworthy that now foil is not used exactly as before: it does not cover the entire nail, but rather skillfully places accents. However, stylish foil in 2022 still looks the same as it did many years ago, so you can safely pull out old stock and put it to use.
Geometry
Geometric prints of any complexity are the new scourge of this season. This concept includes both classic drawings and stickers, lines, dots and other well-known decorative options. There is only one key feature - the image on the nail should be made schematically and easily, as if carelessly. “Carelessness” is the keyword that could describe the approach to style in 2022. And we even use it in nail art.
Matte
Matte was, is and will be a current design, if only because it looks laconic and at the same time chic. Nail art will always be appropriate and useful in any look - both in everyday life and on a holiday. The velvet effect on the surface of the nail makes the hands more sleek and well-groomed. The only negative is that a matte manicure requires proper care so that the surface of the coating does not become clouded.
Rhinestones
Glitter, stones, Pixie, sequins, rhinestones - all shiny elements look extremely advantageous against a noble black background. The dark background makes the shine of the stones even more attractive, and the resulting contrast does not hide a single highlight. As in the case of foil, here you can choose either a coating for the entire nail or limit yourself to a couple of sparkles on the middle and ring fingers.
Black manicure for long nails
Long nails do not lose their popularity and are in trend. But black marigolds, especially those with a sharp shape, should be chosen by daring people. This image of a witch is not suitable for everyone. However, in order to soften the black color, you can complement the manicure with details in pastel, white, and beige tones. They will make your nails incredibly interesting and not so gloomy.
Dark manicure with ombre design and sparkles
Ombre, sparkles and dark shades are truly space, as it is fashionable to say today, expressing an extreme degree of delight. And in the literal sense, too, cosmic motifs willy-nilly appear in the imagination when you see smooth transitions from one shade to another. The ombre technique can also be used as a design element for dark manicures on individual nails.
And this is just an overview of the most popular combinations of dark manicure with glitter. There are a lot of options, exactly as many as our manicure ideas. A dark manicure is not necessarily gloomy or sad; it is, first of all, beautiful, unusual, sophisticated, and solemn. Therefore, we are changing the usual view on dark manicure to a progressive one, experimenting with incredible shades, coming up with new fantastic designs, creating unique masterpieces and trends in manicure art. And where there is creativity, there is always inspiration, and where there is inspiration, there are masterpieces and there is happiness, even if it’s as small as a wonderful manicure!
