Black matte manicure - step by step

- Degrease the nail plate with nail polish remover or antiseptic.
- Apply the base and dry thoroughly in the lamp. Remove the sticky layer with special wipes or a cotton pad.

Velvet nails with glitter in nude shades
Nude manicure is considered one of the most delicate and sophisticated. And in the case of a matte design, sophistication and elegance are added to these qualities. To decorate such nails it is not necessary to resort to any intricate or complex techniques. A thin shiny stripe on the tips of the nail plates in the form of a French jacket, a stretch made like a gradient using particles of different sizes, or a sparkling composition on the nail plate of the ring finger will allow matte nails to look more interesting and expressive.
Matte manicure is always something unpredictable, since no one, even an experienced master, can predict how exactly this or that shade will manifest itself in this design. The velvety structure certainly softens and mutes the colors, but at the same time allows each of them to reveal their depth and character. In this case, glitter only contributes to this process.
Black matte manicure with glitter
A matte dark manicure is no less practical than a glossy one, but it looks much more interesting. Black color and shimmering silver glitter on the adjacent nails is the perfect choice for a special occasion. A nearby beige color will also help to emphasize the depth of the black varnish.
Combined
Black goes well not only with white, but also with shades of a bright palette: pink, red, orange, green, blue and even bold neon. Also, the always current nude will be an excellent company for the darkest color. Feel free to opt for a black and beige matte manicure if you need a practical and versatile option.

To make your nail design look beautiful and fashionable, masters recommend using this combination in a “different hands” manicure.

Spectacular black shellac with glitter in deep, rich shades looks very feminine and sophisticated, it is guaranteed to appeal to both fans of minimalism and lovers of luxury and glamor.
The beauty of any designs decorated with shiny varnishes lies in the simplicity of their execution - such decor in itself is spectacular and self-sufficient, so ornate patterns and designs will definitely be superfluous here. Here are a few proven techniques that will definitely be used in a black and shiny manicure:
- with a scattering of sparkling particles you can decorate only the tip of the nail or the hole (in a moon manicure), completely cover only the ring finger on one hand and the middle and ring finger on the other with sparkles;
- Small sparkles look especially impressive with a noble matte finish - they are applied with neat thin lines and stripes;
- to carefully draw even stripes and lines with small sparkles, you should first apply the design with transparent varnish (for this it is better to use a thin brush), and then place sparkling particles on top;
- soft gold and silver plating looks advantageous, completely covering the nail, previously painted with dark varnish;
- stylish trend - golden honeycombs, round or hexagonal sparkles are laid out on the nail in a checkerboard pattern, forming an unusual pattern;
Another fashionable feature is a smooth gradient painted on a black surface with a beautiful varnish with glitter.
Black jacket with glitter
When creating elegant French designs, you can cover the entire plate with dark varnish, leaving only the tips dazzlingly sparkling, or, choosing a transparent background, paint the edges of the nails black, decorating them with elegant sparkles on top. The latter option is ideal for long, almond-shaped nails; it also creates the illusion that your fingers have been dipped in shining pollen.
Black nails with red glitter
Luxurious, impressive, slightly shocking - a chic black manicure with red sparkles is chosen by relaxed, brave, self-confident women. Those who cannot yet dare to undertake such a daring experiment should try a more restrained dark French jacket, decorated with sparkling varnish of a noble wine color.
With silver sparkles
Funny polka dots will dilute the excessive seriousness and severity of a dark tone, add playfulness and coquetry to restrained nail art - you can paint them with shiny varnish on a coal-black background or put neat dots on a plate coated with liquid silver. It is convenient to draw circles with a thin brush, dots or wooden stick. If you apply glitter in two layers, you get a very interesting three-dimensional design.
Black matte nails with glitter
Fashionable matte black nails look sophisticated, stylish and noble. Elegant matte designs are a great alternative to brightly colored manicures. Silver or gold glitter polish will add softness and femininity to a rather discreet finish, making elegant nail art even more attractive.
An interesting idea is to apply a dark base background to your nails, then completely cover two nails with glitter, while decorating only the tips of the rest. Another win-win trick is to completely paint over the nail on your ring finger with sparkling varnish, using only matte black for the rest of your fingers.
Black manicure with sparkles and rhinestones
Sparkling rhinestones and sparkles will be the ideal decoration for a laconic monochrome manicure. Unusual shiny decor is an inexpensive but very effective way to transform designs based on a strict black color; with its help you can draw an entire cosmic universe on your nails! Dazzlingly shining nail art is suitable not only for parties and special events, but to prevent it from looking too pretentious in everyday life, it is enough to decorate just a couple of nails with glitter.
With a “sugar” effect
Black designs with a velvet “sugar” effect are confidently leading the list of fashion trends for the new season. Granulated sugar goes well with a dark monochromatic coating, creating a unique voluminous nail art.
Lunar
A neat black moon manicure, decorated with sparkling glitter, will adequately decorate any fashionable look. Another original technique that is often found in black and shiny designs is a light hole that remains unpainted.
Black manicure for different nail shapes with glitter
Black coating for the nail industry master is a field for realizing creative fantasies. Everything about black varnish is attractive: sparkles and designs in the minimalist style, abstraction and clear graphics that are attractive to business women.
Oval
For girls who prefer to make their nails an “oval” shape, there is an excellent classic design - this is a gradient. For example, “circular” as in the photo. Or when the black gradually turns into the milky color of the tips of the nails. To make the design look new, you can add piercings/rhinestones/foil on one nail or glitter on all fingers.
Square
Square and soft square - the shape of nails is timeless and makes any manicure spectacular. And here you can also allow yourself a little brightness by adding mesmerizing shimmering shiny particles, for example, only on the little finger.
Almond
Masters offer to do nail art in the “texture with glitter” format, shiny French and stamping. Or decorate long, sharp black nails with accent colors - both neon and delicate tones will do. So that black manicure does not look dramatic and gloomy.
Black matte finish for different nail lengths
Choosing the right design for you largely depends on the length and shape of the plate. What perfectly emphasizes length may look ridiculous on short nails and vice versa.
Short
There is an opinion that such a manicure on a short length does not look very beautiful. In fact, a correctly selected design will only add an expensive and feminine look to the image. To make the coating look advantageous, it is worth adding accents. Thin strips of foil, glitter and multi-colored kamifubuki work well - such decorations will visually lengthen your fingers.
Long
For long nails, geometric and floral patterns are best. If you want to add contrast, a combination of black and white looks good. In this case, a different color can either be used for design elements or cover a couple of nails on the hand.
Beautiful black manicure with colored sparkles
There are hundreds of ways to create an original and beautiful black manicure. However, ideas with colored sparkles are great and complement any woman's festive look. Thanks to multi-colored sparkles, you can get different shining effects on your nails - both delicate and bright.
Lovers of strict forms
We are talking about preferences for patterns of geometric types. Therefore, for such fashionistas, a manicure with diamond glitter would be an excellent option. Decoration of this shape allows you to lay out a variety of patterns on your nails, adhering to clear boundaries.
You can place diamonds in a chaotic order, build a certain pattern in a pattern, or make some kind of drawing. Sequins of this shape, placed in a vertical row, can visually correct the shape of the nail, lengthen and narrow it.
And again, do not forget about the opportunity to alternate different manicure options on each finger.
