Black and white pedicure: maximum contrasts

Black and white - the most sought after classic color combination, which always remains in fashion. Nail design, decorated in a range, suitable for any outfit and always looks gorgeous. With this combination, it is so easy to express your individuality!

Despite the fact that the design uses only two colors, you can easily play with their richness, decoration, 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 the elegance lies precisely in simplicity.

Black and white painting looks amazing with any outfit, but it has special requirements. Bright contrast immediately reveals any errors.

• Often, images of flora and fauna are used as ideas for drawing a picture, because flowers and birds create a special mood. The most courageous women of fashion draw on their nails "animal" ornaments.

• If we talk about the most popular options for black and white pedicure, then there is a marble design. Imitation of white or black stone with splashes is done simply with a needle. It is worth saying that this is a rather young design technique. The main color is applied on the nail, black and white lacquer is mixed on the foil, and lines are drawn on the still dry surface with a needle.

• Another popular option is an aquarium pattern, but it can be fully realized only on elongated nails. Acrylic and gel create the feeling of a glass wall, behind which there are representatives of the underwater world.
• Lunar pedicure is also not lagging behind in popularity. Crescent can be made black or white, they look equally good on the nails.

• Increasingly popular is gaining the option when not a crescent is drawn, but a triangle that cuts the nail into two equal parts.
• Be sure to pay attention to the option with points that can be both very small and large. White dots on a matte black background look a bit bold. Circles can be distributed around the nail, move in one direction, combined with other figures.

Fashion never stands still, styles are constantly changing, something is forgotten, and new, more courageous ones are replacing old traditions. French manicure in a black and white palette will never sink into oblivion, because it is considered a universal offer for nails of any shape and length. Such nails with a snow-white "smile" demonstrate the sophistication of a woman, her refinement.

Make the design even more attractive by using elements such as:

• beads or rhinestones;
• small pieces of newspaper;
• sequins;
• lace etc.

You can easily make a beautiful pedicure yourself, thereby saving time and money on visiting the salon. Before you start to make the nail plate, it must be put in order. The whole process can be divided into several stages:

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

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

For the drawing you need needles, tape, small brushes, beads, 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 even stripes, you must first select a primary color. Cover them completely with nails, wait until dry. Prepare flat strips of tape or special adhesive tape. We put them on the dried varnish so that the spaces between them form a line. This can be one lane or several, which will be located in different directions, it all depends on the imagination.

Now we cover the nail in the intervals between the adhesive tape with a contrasting varnish. You do not need to immediately remove the tape, because you can lubricate the coating, it is better to wait until it is completely dry. In the presence of special stencils, we act in the same way: first we cover the nail with the main color, and then paste the stencil and fill it with another varnish. While the coating is still dry, you can glue beads or rhinestones.
