Thinking through the image, you need to take into account all the details. After all, a sloppy or inappropriate manicure can negate all the work of choosing a good outfit. The shade of the selected varnish should be in harmony with makeup, clothes and accessories. Colors such as black and gold require special care. Nails painted in these colors can become both the main feature of the image and its irreparable failure.
Some of the great ideas in this article will help you create a luxurious look.
Time and place for a black and gold manicure
Any manicurist knows that each color is appropriate in its situation. Traditionally, a black and gold manicure is referred to as an evening manicure.
The biggest mistake newbies often make is the length of their nails. All dark shades look much better on short nails, and on long ones they often look predatory, if not vulgar.
Manicure in black and gold, of course, can be done by owners of elongated nails, but on condition that their shape is close to ideal, and the accuracy of application is on top. But foreveryday style, this combination is not common. Usually resorted to on the eve of the holidays.
Another important detail that everyone who intends to make a black and gold manicure with their own hands should take into account concerns execution. Remember: both of these shades do not forgive mistakes. Dirty cuticles, uneven strokes, uneven surface - all this is unacceptable, because even the slightest error will be evident.
Easy as easy: elegant manicure with rhinestones
Agree, the pens look luxurious, but upon examination it becomes clear that the technology is simple. You will need black polish and gold rhinestones, the smaller the better. This manicure can be done with both shellac and regular varnish.
Get your hands in order, remove everything superfluous, walk on the surface of the nails with a buff. Apply black varnish and let it dry. If you are using gel, use a lamp.
Use the tweezers to carefully place the rhinestones in the order you like, but try not to overdo it. If you feel that the adhesive base of the rhinestone is not strong enough, strengthen it with a special adhesive for tips.
Just a little effort - and the manicure is ready. It will look especially impressive if the jewelry also contains black and gold.
Mosaic style nails
Today this manicure is very popular. There are many ways to make it. You can use ready-made tips, stickers, and also carefully paint yourself.
The tandem of mosaic and glass manicure looks very nice, which requires a special film.
Finish your nails with a light golden (or beige) nail polish. Before it dries, use tweezers to arrange triangles from the film. Let it dry and draw some black lines. Be sure to use a very fine brush and applicators.
Glitter
Manicurist recommend using glitter varnishes for those who have just begun to comprehend the basics of nail art. Special skills are not required, but the pattern will turn out spectacular, especially if the varnish contains inclusions of different sizes and shades.
This idea is also great for a quick manicure for the holidays. It's no secret that black with gold is perfect for going out. Nails painted with black gel polish can be made sparkling with ordinary glitter in a few minutes.
Stencil Manicure
The next method will require perseverance and even scrupulousness. If something goes wrong, don't try to draw a line, rather wipe off the polish and redo it.
Use thin strips to make work easier. Professional applicators are lightly smeared with an adhesive that will prevent them from sliding on the nail. It is very comfortable. But, by and large, for such a manicure, even strips cut out of paper can be used as an applicator. Matte black manicure with gold is especially good,made in this technique.
The holiday is coming
We already know that many fashionistas are in no hurry to do manicures in these colors for everyday life. But there are times when this is exactly what you need!
A theme party is a great occasion to do a black manicure with a gold pattern. And such holidays dedicated to any topic are at the peak of popularity today. For example, if you are going to a witch-style bachelorette party, this idea can be a hit. We have already mentioned what effect black and gold can have - nails can look aggressive. Perhaps gatherings in the Sabbat format is just their case?
This combination is also popular for the New Year holidays. You can make a wonderful manicure with golden snowflakes using decals, stickers or stamps. Of course, you can draw a frosty pattern, but this business requires great skill. But the result is good - nails in the style of a real winter fairy tale.
Another reason for a black and gold glitter manicure that is simply impossible not to mention is Halloween. It is enough to stick metal decorations in the form of bats, ghosts or cute skulls on your nails to turn into the queen of the evening.
In any case, when choosing a design for a black and gold manicure, do not forget about a sense of proportion. Both black and gold are very whimsical colors. It is worth at least a little overdoing it - and the result will remind you more of Madame Broshkina, and not of a stylish lady. But a skillful and reasonable combinationlooks really luxurious.
