Black pedicure is a classic nail design. It goes with any outfit and shoes. Dark pedicure looks great with black, silver, red and beige shoes.

The thumb is usually used for decoration. The space of the nail allows you to place simple monograms, dots, mehendi, etc. on it. The white pattern looks great on the matte surface. If desired, decorate the pattern with white acrylic powder.
#3 Black French pedicure: classic nail design
A French jacket in black looks harmonious and stylish. The design visually elongates the nails, making them neater and more elegant. Black French is best done in a glossy finish with the addition of rhinestones or bouillons.
A black jacket can be combined not only with a classic pink shade, but also with other tones that are not applicable in manicure. For example, to complement black, use blue, gold, silver, beige, and cream shades. Place the rhinestones in the root zone so that they do not interfere while walking.
Do not use large rhinestones for pedicures. They will quickly lose their attractive appearance, peel off from the nail, and get in the way when wearing closed shoes.
#4 Black jacket with inlay
Rhinestone inlay always looks attractive and beautiful. The shimmer of small stones becomes visually brighter when combined with dark shades. Carefully consider the placement of rhinestones before creating a pedicure. Choose small stones that can be combined into a complete composition or use ready-made sets with rhinestones and bouillons of different sizes.
Rhinestones are usually arranged like this:
- on the thumb in the root zone
- on small fingers with a continuous layer - inlaid
- highlighting patterns, for example, floristry, geometry, lace, etc.
#5 Black pedicure with design
Despite the small space of the nail plates, you can still use the design in a pedicure. In this case, it is worth considering the width of the nails, the volume of the pattern itself and the selected shades.
Looks great in combination with black:
- lace decor - these can be simple monograms drawn with a manicure brush, mehendi patterns with dots and a pattern extended to the edge of the nail
- sliders – floristry, inscriptions, geometry are on trend. You can use any shades: pink, blue, silver and others. They will refresh your nail art and focus attention on the drawing and design in general.
- geometry - use dots, cubes, checkered patterns: houndstooth, tartan and others
Don't put too much design on your nails. This will make it look cheap and ridiculous. Create a simple design on your big toe and cover the rest of your nails with plain black gel polish.
French pedicure 2021
This nail covering is quite simple at first glance, but it makes your legs look more well-groomed. Many coating manufacturers care about their customers and therefore add a bottle with a special composition to the pedicure polish kit. Which, after drying, removes the gloss. Thus, any girl can do a matte pedicure with her own hands.
Traditionally, the French pedicure has a white border along the top edge of the nail. But any color can be applied, this will make the coating unusual. The rest of the nail surface is covered with colorless varnish. However, if for some reason a girl does not want to leave her nail plate visible (changed color, fungus, curvature), then the nail can be covered with flesh-colored or pale pink varnish.
#6 Stylish black pedicure with kamifubuki
Kamifubuki are small shiny granules of different shapes and colors. They go well with both light and dark tones. But against a black background, colored, gold or silver kamifubuki looks much more interesting. They give your manicure a festive touch, shimmer and sparkle beautifully.
A design with kamifubuki will help out those girls who do not want to do voluminous nail art on their nails. Use round granules for manicure, in the form of a diamond and triangles. With the latter you can create interesting geometric nail art and designs using stained glass technique.
#7 Black pedicure with red
The combination of black and red is successfully used in manicure to create geometric and other nail art. The tandem of these shades really looks unusual and bright. As for pedicure, there are several options for nail decoration:
- monochromatic coating of black and red - with shades alternating on each finger
- design with red color - it can be floristry, lace, and, of course, geometry. In geometric nail art, you can add white to make the design look more voluminous and complex.
- black pedicure with red glitter is an excellent solution for holiday nail art. Glitter is an excellent substitute for rhinestones, kamifubuki and other shiny decor.
The power of a pedicure without gloss
This type of nail coating on the toes and hands is universal, regardless of color. Due to the complete absence of glossy shine, matte varnish can be combined with various colors in clothing. At the same time, it is not necessary to select makeup to match the nail polish when going to a party. Many fashionistas try to choose eye shadow and manicure and pedicure polish of the same shade (this is especially true for open shoes).
By the way, you can do a matte pedicure yourself without special tools. To do this, you need to put a pan of water on the fire and bring it to a boil. At this time, it is necessary to apply varnish to the nails (after having previously cleaned them of the old coating and filed them). The varnish should be applied to one foot first and, until it dries, it must be placed over the pan with the nails down. This is a little inconvenient, so you need to take care of safety (the pan can only be placed on a flat, hard surface; if possible, cover the edges with a towel). When exposed to steam for 3-4 minutes, the coating will become matte. After this, you need to perform the described manipulations with the other leg.
Remember that you shouldn’t cover your nails with colorless varnish on top, because it will give your nails a glossy shine and all your work will go down the drain.
This method may seem stupid to some, so you can buy a special liquid to give it a matte effect. It can be purchased in stores specializing in the sale of salon products.
#8 Black pedicure with foil
Foil is often used to create simple decorations. Every girl can work with foil. All that is needed to create a design is to make an impression on a sticky layer of gel polish. To do this you will need transfer manicure foil. Use holographic, silver, gold foil.
Foil looks great on a dark matte surface. Make an impression with foil on the thumb, and cover the rest with a uniform layer of gel polish. The design with foil does not require additional decor. In pedicure, such an addition will be unnecessary, since the limited space of the nail plate does not always allow this.
Black pedicure is a classic solution for women of any age. It looks strictly and concisely, combined with many shades and decor. Black nail designs can be used both in summer and winter and will look appropriate and beautiful in every season.
