In 2022, one of the main fashion trends will be black manicure. The best ideas for nail design with this color of gel polish can be selected from the photos of bloggers on the Internet. However, in order to stay in trend throughout the upcoming season, it is better to study the most stylish techniques and combinations in advance.

Matte finish

Matte black manicure is one of the TOP fashion trends of 2022. To get the desired result, it is better to contact the nail service master with a photo of the desired option, especially if you want an additional design.

Matte black finish can be combined with various types of decor:

• geometric patterns;
• rhinestones;
• sparkles;
• drawings or stickers in the style of pop art;
• chaotic thin lines.

A black manicure with a matte finish is universal. It suits many looks, it is combined with business suits, summer dresses, jeans, shirts.

Transparent wells

This design will be the trend of the upcoming season. With a black manicure, transparent holes look much more spectacular than colored ones. Some girls refuse them because they are afraid that it will look like a grown nail. However, the wells have the opposite effect. Thanks to the transparent varnish, the overgrown nail plate is not conspicuous, which allows you to wear the gel polish for longer.

Black rhinestones

The shine of rhinestones is liked by almost all girls. However, many people quickly get tired of bright designs. If you have long wanted to experiment and make a manicure with rhinestones, then black pebbles on your nails are the most suitable option.

This design also shines in the sun, but looks calmer thanks to the black color. Even large stones do not look vulgar. Stylists do not advise covering all nails at once with rhinestones. It is better to add decorative elements on a few fingers, and leave a solid color on the others.

Leopard and snake prints

This design can be created using black gel polish and two tops: glossy and matte. The drawing looks impressive, unobtrusive. The print is dim, so it will not catch the eye and will not get bored quickly.

A leopard or snake pattern is perfect for business, casual looks. The design looks unusual in combination with leather jackets, aviator sheepskin coats and light dresses. This print will be a great manicure option for girls who want attractive, but not too bright nails.

Monochrome glossy finish

A solid black finish with no design is a classic that has been trending for many seasons. Such a manicure looks attractive on both long and short nails. In the second case, it visually lengthens the nail plate.

Colored foil

The advantage of this design is the individual pattern. The pattern cannot be repeated, since the application technique implies a chaotic "sticking" of color to the nail. In 2022, the following options will be trending:

• one color of foil on a black backing;
• covering each nail in a different color;
• using colored foil on one nail.

The final finish can be glossy or matte. If you want an unusual design, ask the master to finish everything with a "velvet" top, and highlight the areas with foil with a gloss.

Black combined with gold

If you want variety and bright accents in your manicure, you should pay attention to this combination. Black can be taken as the main color, and the design can be made with gold lacquer.

It can be:

• chaotic lines;
• geometric pattern;
• foil prints;
• sequins;
• rhinestones;
• silhouette drawing;
• stars, etc.

You can also stroke the free edge in gold (you will get an unusual jacket), add thin horizontal or vertical lines, which will create a minimalistic design.

Stylists advise to apply the decor only on a few nails so that the manicure does not look vulgar. For example, you can put glitter on your ring finger and make a matte finish, and paint the rest with black glossy varnish.

Black marble

Marble nail design has appeared relatively recently, but has managed to sink into the soul of many girls. In black, the print looks no less interesting than in light shades.

The pattern must be done with varnishes in a contrasting color:

• white;
• gray;
• silver;
• gold;
• pale pink.

You can also add nude shades to give the drawing a believable look. The marble pattern will look great on all nails, or as a decorative element, for example, on the ring or thumb. If shiny varnishes are not used for decoration, such a manicure is suitable for everyday wear or for those who work in an office with a strict dress code.

Rubbing

On black nails, the rubbing gives a metallic sheen. In the sun, this design shimmers spectacularly. But such a manicure is considered bright enough, so for work in an office where there is a strict dress code, rubbing in combination with black varnish will not work.

Openwork drawings

This pattern looks unusual on nails. One gets the impression that they are glued with openwork fabric. A similar manicure is suitable for feminine looks - light dresses, airy blouses and skirts made of flowing fabrics.

Nail service technicians often paint openwork patterns with brushes. However, now more and more ready-made stickers appear that allow you to perform a manicure faster and more accurately.

When choosing black for openwork patterns, stylists advise combining it with nude substrates, you can also add a jacket.

Leaves, branches and flowers

In 2022, it will be possible to draw with black gel polish not only patterns and geometric prints. Various branches, leaves and flowers will be in trend. The main thing is that they are executed in thin lines. This pattern looks more accurate, makes the manicure graceful and feminine. On a black background, it is better to paint flower patterns with gel polishes of light shades.

Also, a delicate print should be combined with the image of the girl. If the wardrobe is dominated by leather jackets and massive shoes, such patterns should be discarded. They will look out of place.

Gradient

Combined with black, almost any color will work for a gradient. Stylists advise making the transition from nude shades to dark. You can also choose neon green, blue or orange as the second color. The classic gradient is a combination of black and white.

Each master has his own way of performing such a design. But the option looks more attractive when the gradient is applied using a special machine. The transition between shades becomes smoother.

Also, stylists advise in the upcoming season to pay attention to gradients using sparkles. The master can use gel polish or lay out large shining dies by hand.

Burgundy decorative elements

The combination of black and burgundy will become one of the main trends in dark manicure in 2022. This design will look most impressive on long nails. Drawings and patterns can be different:

• crosses;
• roses;
• free-form drops;
• horizontal and vertical stripes;
• thin lines;
• marble.

Aesthetics in a manicure with a similar design will add a matte finish. Long nails will not look vulgar with it. If desired, some elements can be highlighted with a glossy top.

Lettering

Motivational or funny inscriptions will also become a trend for the upcoming season. White text will look good on black gel polish. Light blue, soft pink and nude shades are also suitable.

The inscriptions can also be black. One of the trendy manicure options is dark text on a white or nude backing. In this case, only one nail will be light, all the rest will be black.

You can dilute the manicure by covering the inscription with a matte top, or, conversely, finish all your nails with it, and highlight the text with a glossy one.

Do not be afraid to experiment with black manicure. The trends of the upcoming season will be both a monochromatic coating and unusual bright prints.

Outcomes

The fashion trends of 2022 black manicure are so diverse that any girl can pick up several designs to her liking. Before going to the master, you can get inspired by ideas from a photo. Also, an experienced specialist will always help you choose the right manicure for your look.
