If earlier manicure was considered a procedure only for so-called people from high society, now unkempt hands are a sign of dislike and disrespect for oneself. Even many men visit beauty salons to get their nails done.
However, only girls have access to such a privilege as nail design. Who knows, perhaps in the near future some Instagram blogger will introduce a new trend a la “Nail designs for men” or “Men’s nails with rhinestones.”
Until this happens (to our great joy!), let's talk about women's manicure and nail design.
Features of a modern approach to manicure
As already mentioned, now manicure is not a celebration of nails, but its normal and even correct state.
A girl with a good manicure feels confident and elegant.
Nails of the same length, without hangnails, clean well-groomed cuticles, soft skin - this is the very minimum that should be.
Gel polish has become a real salvation: a manicure with its use lasts a really long time, on average three weeks. Its peculiarity is that the coating adheres to the nails and does not slide off, as happens with conventional varnishes. In addition, it involves applying a strengthening base, so the nails become much stronger.
Gel polish coating is accompanied by a combined or hardware manicure, since a classic edged manicure does not remove the cuticle as efficiently.
Manicure rules
It is not enough to just paint your nails with polish, they need to be properly prepared.
Keep in mind that manicure is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of traumatic objects. You must be confident in the professionalism of the technician, a high level of disinfection of all equipment used, and the disposable use of disposable materials.
What should be the process of performing a quality manicure:
- The master opens a craft package with tools right in the presence of the client. This shows that the instruments have indeed been disinfected and will be used for the first time after disinfection.
- If the master uses disposable nail files, he must stick one of them onto the base, again - in the presence of the client.
- It is ideal if the master uses a cutter to remove the gel coating, and not the good old acetone and foil. Yes, acetone has the right to help cope with this task, but a cutter (especially if you know how to use it correctly) causes less damage to the surface of the nail.
- Before applying the coating, the nail plates are degreased.
- First comes the base layer for the gel polish, and then the gel coating itself.
- Each layer must be dried in an ultraviolet or LED lamp.
How to do a manicure at home
Almost every beauty salon offers a manicure service. Of course, you can make an appointment with a nail artist, or you can try to repeat this art yourself at home. By following our recommendations, this is easy to do. So, let's begin:
- Remove cuticles with nail clippers. Use a nail file to give your nails the desired shape.
- Carefully treat the nail plate and the skin around it with a degreasing solution. This will allow the varnish to lay flat and not roll off.
- Apply base polish to the surface of the nail and let dry. Thanks to this stage, we extend the life of the future manicure.
- Cover the nails with the main color. After it dries, apply several more layers.
- If desired, we complement the manicure with rhinestones - carefully lay out the pattern with tweezers and secure it with a transparent coating. This way you will create a pleasant glossy shine and reliably protect your manicure from damage.
Do not hesitate, with a black manicure you will look flawless and stylish!
Features of the combination of black and silver varnish
In addition to the monochromatic coating of the nail plate and the classic French jacket, there are an incredible variety of other design options, ranging from geometric patterns, laconic “paths” of broths and rhinestones to real miniature paintings on the nails.
Black and silver manicure is one of the most popular options, since black, when used correctly, can look both aggressive and formal.
Silver elements in a manicure can attract attention and soften the richness of the black color, or on the contrary, they can set it off. Nail technicians combine with black gel polish either gel polish or silver-colored decor: rhinestones, stones, bouillons, foil, sequins, “dragon scales” (material for nail design, reminiscent of triangles with edges) and others.
Who would suit a black manicure?
A black manicure is an excellent option for those who want to emphasize their individuality and style. It is always relevant and will look great at any event. A party, a business meeting or a get-together with girlfriends - with this manicure you will look great. Thanks to its versatility, it won the hearts of many representatives of the fair half of humanity. In addition, a nail design in this style is perfect for those who are tired of a light, bright or nude palette.
Matte design options
Black and silver nail designs can be made in both matte and glossy versions. There can also be combinations of matte and glossy. For example, stripes, geometric shapes, abstractions and even plain flowers are painted on a matte black background using silver glitter. This way the drawing looks full and rich.
Silver elements of the design may be matte. In this case, it is better to make the black color glossy or leave at least one nail non-matte, otherwise the entire design will appear dirty.
A matte black manicure with silver attracts attention, since the velvety matte surface combined with deep colors evokes associations with strong personalities, businesswomen and simply confident women. The use of silver-colored elements hints at wealth and luxury.

Glossy design options
Black and silver manicure in a glossy version can often be seen done not only with gel polishes, but also with foil or rubbing. The foil is applied to the nail either flat or crumpled - this way it looks more textured. Rubbing is a kind of powder that is applied in a special way to gel polish and, depending on the chosen color of the base varnish, gives an interesting shade. Rubbing on a black background creates a mirror effect, as does using smooth foil.
The smooth, shiny silver surface is particularly original when shaded with black, which can be either primary or complementary.
Glitter is also very widely used. It is used to make drawings, decorate any geometric or floral elements, and also use it to decorate part of the nail plate or the entire nail plate. When it comes to sparkles, you need to know when to stop.
Black and white manicure with silver was at the peak of popularity at one time. Firstly, the combination “black top, white bottom” is familiar to most people from school and has long been associated with the classics. Secondly, silver elements add a special touch to the black and white design. This manicure will be appropriate anywhere and suits any outfit. Still, classic color combinations never get old.
Secrets of a perfect manicure
A black manicure with silver (you can see photos of some ideas in the article) is quite finicky and may not always look great on nails. Therefore, it is worth considering several important points before applying varnish.
First, pay attention to the shape of your nails. Square nails with pointed edges are not the best option for black nail art. Choose a rounded shape of the nail plate - it will not look vulgar and will emphasize the elegance of the chosen color.
Secondly, black is much more difficult to apply than other shades. The lines should be as neat as possible, the color should reach the very cuticle line.
With these tips in mind, you can create the perfect manicure straight out of a beauty magazine.
Rhinestone design
Rhinestones are widely used in the field of nail design. They go well with both matte and glossy manicures. Rhinestones look especially interesting on a black and silver manicure. The photos below demonstrate how sparkling stones can be used to soften a black background, even if the entire nail plate is covered with black gel polish.
Rhinestones are used either as an accent in the design or as its main element. Inlays have become firmly in fashion.
Rhinestones are used to lay out shiny paths on one or two nails; they can also be placed on some nails in a chaotic manner, inlaid, forming the outline of any design, or form the so-called king nail - one nail on the hand, the surface of which is completely covered with rhinestones. There are many options.
A black manicure with silver and rhinestones must be done thoughtfully, as too much silver can look vulgar. If a master wants to combine a black and silver design and complement it with rhinestones, it all must be correctly combined.
Black manicure - fashion trends 2021
Black color has always been considered sophisticated, luxurious not only in clothes, but also in nail art. Well-known beauty specialists unanimously say that this shade requires special attention to application and requires scrupulous work. Only if all the rules are followed will a black manicure sparkle with all its facets. Its simplicity is combined with impeccable conciseness and creates an incredible impression.
For those who love perfection in everything and love to experiment, black manicure can be complemented with small details. In 2021, silver and rhinestones have become especially popular - they make black manicure more interesting. Or you can go further and play in contrast.
