Picking just one nail color can be a challenge, especially when you’ll have to commit to it for a week or two through various outfit changes and occasions. That’s why some people tend to stick to more neutral manicures; your nails won’t clash with all of your outfits when they are painted a simple hue.
Still, if you want something simple but goes beyond your basic milk-bath creams, pinks, or beige colors, you do have another option: black and white nails.
The combination has been a timeless classic for a reason: not only does the trend look modern and edgy, but you can also make it work with virtually any outfit in your closet. Whether you opt for painting all five fingers on one hand black and the other all white, or find some way to incorporate both shades onto a single nail look – like the always gorgeous negative space manicure, for example – the options to choose from are endless when it comes to black and white nail art.
That said, finding the best black and white nail designs can be just as difficult as choosing a hue at the nail salon, and that’s where we come in. From nail art ideas that look best on acrylic tips to designs that work for black tie events, keep reading to find the manicure inspiration for every vibe and occasion.
