Black and white manicure on long nails is a contrasting and expressive design for an almond or pointed nail shape. The combination of glossy white and black coating looks stylish, elegant and quite striking at the same time.
The accent nails are designed with a smooth black and white transition that visually emphasizes the length and shape of the nails. Silver glitter at the base of one nail adds a festive shine to the design without overloading the composition. This manicure is well suited for an evening look, a photoshoot, a festive event or a bold everyday styling.
What you need for the design
- Base coat for gel polish;
- White gel polish;
- Black gel polish;
- Silver glitter;
- Thin brush for creating lines and transitions;

- Nail file and buffer for preparing the nails;

How to do the manicure
- Prepare the nails: treat the cuticle, shape the nails into a long almond or pointed form and lightly buff the surface.
- Clean the nail plate from dust and degrease it before applying the coating.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure it in a UV/LED lamp.
- Cover some of the nails with white gel polish in 1–2 layers, curing each layer in the lamp.
- Apply white and black gel polish on the accent nails, creating a contrasting diagonal or smooth transition.
- Use a thin brush to even out the border between the shades so the design looks neat and balanced.
- Add silver glitter at the base of one accent nail to create a sparkling decorative accent.
- Seal the manicure with a glossy top coat, carefully cover the decor, seal the free edges of the nails and cure the coating well in the lamp.
