Black manicure for short nails - one of the hits of modern nail design. The color is quite noble, with a skillful approach to the design allows you to effectively and statusfully complement the female image for different styles and ages. But in order for a manicure to successfully fit into a particular bow, you need to know the features of perception, match the color with the shape of the nail plates and choose a modern decor.
Length and shape
The black color is quite bright. He immediately emphasizes not only the length of the nails, but also sharply denotes their shape. This may be the main drawback of poor design, which is associated with the wrong choice of their particular shape of the nails. It depends on the side walls of the plate and the hole. So that the black color does not reinforce the imperfections of the form, you will have to beat the flaws in the form, remove the visual weight and create the illusion of balance.
Even if it seems that you need to give preference to a fashionable form, it is not always possible on short nails. Ideally, you can not worry if the side walls of the nail plates are parallel to each other. In this case, the black color of the gel polish on the nails will look beautiful with both a straight line and a sharp cut line.
As for the other two types of nail plates, here it is necessary to build on the generally accepted rules of nail service professionals. For example, if the side walls are barrel-like, it is simply not necessary to paint the sides, retreating from them to maintain visual balance of form.
If the nail plate is triangular, you will need to file the regrown edge with a small angle, and then choose the direct shape of the cut. Here you also should not paint the sides, which will allow to align the triangular shape to a straight line.
Color solutions
Black color refers to the neutral colors of the color palette. And he will take the mood that will be in contrast. In this case, it can be combined with absolutely any color palette from white and neon. However, regardless of your own preferences, you need to adhere to the rule of relevance. For example, if a set of silver can become elegant, with a neon lemon manicure is suitable only for the image of a young rebel.
Color contrast can be transmitted through pigmented gel polish, gel, acrylic paints, rhinestones, stones, glitter, slider design, or even stamping. It should be noted that black can lose its nobleness if there are too many contrasts. It is preferable to bet on the nobility of the texture, rather than to hang and fill in the nails with a complex design.
