It's a slippery slope with black-and-white nail designs; though we are dealing with only two colors, the finished work of nail art may end up looking very chic — or very far from it. What is the most common, predictably, black-and-white nail design? Why, the zebra print, of course. Though inevitable, zebra nail art can exist in various forms or degrees, as you'll see in (another) one of the next slides. Notice how we said one? That's because there's so much more to black and white on nails than just zebra print; however, the way it's used here, with this sleek red border, and just as a detail — so ingenious that we had to succumb!
The rest, you will find, feature black and white in somewhat less predictable, yet super wearable nail art ideas. You can walk them through the office, to the date, a wedding, to a kid's birthday party, even, and they all have one thing in common, regardless of your chosen style and nail length: as you gaze at them, day in, day out, somehow they just keep getting cooler.
Long nails allow for showing off, and though there is a lot going on with the negative space, the cow print detailing, the heart, and full white and black coverage, it's been put together in a way that feels both strong and contemporary.
If you didn't think zebra, you must have thought Halloween, when thinking of black-and-white nails, right? The next most obvious way to fit black and white well together that delivers every time: Halloween nail designs.
