Universal solutions
The most attractive and advantageous is considered to be a single-color nail color framed with rhinestones, sequins, beads, sparkles or stones of different sizes.
But some masters neglect the laws of moderation and allow excess and oversaturation of design. This leads to manifestations of bad taste and bad taste.
The main thing is that there are rhinestones in moderation and they are not overloaded with additional decor.
It is appropriate to place only one large pebble on the nail and complement it with a series of small beads, or get by with just sparkles, as shown in a number of photos of manicures with rhinestones.
Ways to create a matte manicure at home
Matte manicure is easy to do at home
in several ways.
Matte top coat
You will need:
- base;
- gel polish;
- degreaser;
- sticky layer remover;
- UV or LED lamp;
- matte top.
Special top comes with a satin effect
- it provides a slight matte finish,
or with a velvet
(velvet, suede) effect. The second option makes the coating rougher.
The technology for creating a black matte manicure with gel polish is standard:
- Treat the nail plate, give it the desired shape and length.
- Polish it, degrease it.
- Apply base coat.
- Dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes or 30-60 seconds in an LED lamp.
- Apply 2 layers of colored gel polish, letting each coat dry.
- Apply a matte finish, dry it in the same way as a standard topcoat (1 minute in LED, 2 minutes in UV lamp).
- Remove the sticky layer.
- Apply cuticle oil to your skin.
If you decide to make a glossy design, apply it immediately after drying the matting layer. Dry, cover with top coat, fix in the lamp again. It is most convenient to work with a special thin brush for design.
Other ways to create a matte manicure
You can make a matte finish at home even without a special top coat, here are the basic ideas:
- Treatment with a buff After applying the usual top coat, use a buff (abrasiveness 400*400).
- Acrylic powder Perform a manicure with gel polish using classic technology. Apply acrylic powder to the undried layer of topcoat. Dry the surface in a lamp (double the time), remove any remaining powder with a brush.
- Matte dust It is rubbed into the sticky layer, the excess is removed with a brush.
- Ready-made matte varnish Some brands produce lines of matte colored varnishes. Just apply the product to your nails, you can cover it with top. It’s good when the bottle contains special mix balls for stirring its contents.
- Corn starch A non-standard way to achieve a matte effect. Apply base coat to your nails. On a separate piece of foil, mix 4-5 drops of varnish with a small amount of starch. Apply the mixture to your nails.
- Steam treatment A steam bath is a common, but unsafe and short-lived way to create a matte finish. After the top coat has dried, place your hands in the steam for 10-20 seconds. The optimal distance to avoid getting burned is 20 cm.
Black manicure goes well with white, beige, metallic of different shades (foil, “broken glass”), peach and soft pink.
You can complement it with turquoise, ash gray, muted blue, smoky blue. To create a more rich, deep combination, use wine, burgundy and plum shades.
If you have a good imagination,
and you know how to combine colors correctly,
you will certainly create a nail masterpiece.
A wide selection of decorative materials will help in creative work.
Types of rhinestones
Professionals are accustomed to using glass materials of different diameters, colors and modifications in their work, but the use of other types of rhinestones is not prohibited.

The most fashionable forms of long nails for this year:
- almond;
- oval;
- square;
- round;
- ballerina.
For square nails
The square shape of nails is quite popular among girls. Square nails are not prone to splitting and do not cause discomfort. This shape is not suitable for those with long, thin fingers, as it will visually make them even thinner. This shape will also highlight the shortcomings of short or thick fingers. Fingers should be graceful.
Matte black manicure for square nails can be done using various design solutions. Any shades and colors are suitable for manicure. A plain black nail polish will look beautiful. You can perform a graphic manicure.
Variations of geometric shapes will look stylish and unusual. The appearance of such a manicure will resemble paintings by artists in the cubist style. Using a 3D effect on your nails will also look original.
This effect is created using:
- acrylic sand;
- special gel;
- sculpting.
A design with foil is another fashionable manicure option for square nails.

However, they are not suitable for everyone. Such nails are inconvenient for an active lifestyle. A matte black manicure looks most luxurious on them. You can make it plain or decorate it with additional elements.
A creative approach to manicure is combining colors or painting nails. Black manicure goes well with silver or gold. The combination of matte and gloss is considered excellent. A black French manicure on sharp nails will look unusual.
You can make a nail design with a pattern decorated with rhinestones. Precious stones and sparkling sparkles are also used as decoration. The main thing is not to overdo it with them. On sharp nails you can apply bows, knitted and openwork patterns.
For almond-shaped nails
The almond shape of the nails received this name because of its resemblance to the almond nut. It resembles an elongated oval; there are no points at the fingertips. This nail shape is a bad choice for women doing housework. Almond-shaped nails are considered suitable for those with short fingers. This shape helps to visually lengthen the fingers.
Manicures of any complexity can be done on such nails. You can cover your nails with varnish of one bright or dark color with the addition of gloss. A manicure in the form of a lunar or French design is also considered an excellent choice. The socket and smile line can be given different shapes.
An interesting solution would be to combine these 2 designs. You can decorate your nails with glitter, starting from the tip. By distributing glitter over the surface of the nail, you can achieve a slight gradient effect if the color of the decor is not the same as the color of the coating. A technique such as aquarium painting will help diversify your manicure.
Colors and shades
This season, red manicure with rhinestones is very popular. It is performed in different versions.
More often, white, transparent or metallic rhinestones are attached to the red base. This is a classic, but you can perform this manicure using red stones.
They can be applied to one of the nails, usually on the ring fingers, and the rest can be done in nude or neutral tones of pink or white.
Glitter with pebbles
The shimmer of glitter in addition to stasis is unique and beautiful. But here it is worth taking into account an important rule: do not overdo it with the saturation and number of decorative elements.
Glitter is very good for an evening out. A pair of rhinestones or stones on the ring fingers is an excellent solution for a chic manicure.

Lunar manicure and French manicure
This is a classic technique. It is important to choose the right combinations of tones and placement of rhinestones.
You can simply place a pebble at the cuticle, but placing the “smile” itself or its base is not prohibited.
However, only harmonious design should dominate. It is better to choose nude, neutral or contrasting colors.
Gradient and rhinestones
This is a very popular type of manicure today. The “amber” technique with rhinestones looks very beautiful and never goes out of fashion.
It is better to use pebbles to complement gradient joints, the so-called smooth color transitions. Another option is to place rhinestones at the cuticle or along the edge of the nail plates.
