A black pedicure is not always gloomy, and the photos testify to this. Decorated with rhinestones, diluted with another color, it can look fashionable, relevant, and often festive. The main thing is to choose the right color pair, diluting the darkness in the image.
Color combinations
Black goes well with other colors, providing many solutions for implementing interesting ideas in pedicure. Among the numerous photos you can find a wide variety of uses of additional color. The latest trends include pedicures with matte varnish, manicures and pedicures in different colors (provided that both are supported by clothing accessories or jewelry), identical pedicures and manicures contrasting with the color of the outfit.
Black and white
The classic compilation of two opposing colors allows you to create different designs on your feet, using the black base as a canvas. On it you can depict lace (photo) or a floral ornament with a contour line, draw strict graphics, or make a print that fully matches the theme of a particular event. Or you can go the other way and apply a black design on a white base.
Red-black
There are a lot of options for using this color pair. Contrary to popular belief, such a pedicure may not look vulgar and provocative. Firstly, it all depends on the shade of red (the lighter it is, the less saturated the pedicure can become, despite the presence of black in it), secondly, the amount of red added plays a significant role, and of course, you need to take into account the appropriateness - for Halloween you can use a red and black pedicure as an addition to your look or as part of a carnival costume. The following design options look interesting: houndstooth pattern (photo), Scottish check (photo), bright flashes of flame on a black background, ladybug print, card suits.
With gold
Black and gold is an equally interesting combination, very often chosen by girls for their New Year's outfit. In this case, the design can be complemented by rhinestones (photo), sparkles (photo) or a contour pattern. A black and gold moon or French pedicure also looks aesthetically pleasing, especially if it is supported by some leather element in the outfit or gold jewelry. Combining gold and silver with black is also a pretty good move.
With silver
Silver varnish goes well with silver accessories and is also appropriate when creating a festive look. It is possible to use black nail polish on a metallic dress. It will dilute the completely silver look, and small bright details applied to the surface of the nail will support it, preventing the pedicure from going against the chosen style.
A beautiful black pedicure can be achieved by applying a silver pattern with a pearlescent tint (photo). This will allow you to become the center of attention at any party. The combination of black varnish and rhinestones of the same color also dilutes the silver very well (photo).
Matte
A novelty in the field of nail design, matte varnish itself is a coating that can make the owner of a pedicure stand out. The main task in this case is to choose interesting shoes (photo) or to make sure that your nails do not look painted with a felt-tip pen. This can be achieved with rhinestones and elements applied with glossy varnish. In general, the skillful combination of matte surface and gloss is evidence of impeccable taste and awareness of fashion trends in pedicure and manicure.
With yellow
Black also goes well with bright colors. One of these is yellow. A pedicure in yellow tones can be bright or muted - it all depends on the temperature. If you keep the amount of black to a minimum, you can get a juicy, summer pedicure that lifts your spirits, then a fun little accent in the form of a pattern will be a successful ending (photo). When both varnishes are used equally, a balanced, but at the same time individual design is obtained.
With an image
All of the listed shades can be used to apply any design - only your imagination can determine the boundaries. And if the birds, as in the photo above, may seem frivolous to someone, then the flowers will suit any girl, be it an extravagant person or a romantic young lady.
French
Performing a French pedicure with a dark base is quite reasonable because such a French pedicure visually shortens the nail and deprives it of neatness. If you still want to create a French jacket with a black base, then in this case it is better to paint the tip with a bright color that will not be lost on a dark background. The traditional variation can be stylized by slightly transforming the usual straight line. A good example is shown in the photo.
Lunar
Among the latest trends is the skillful combination of lunar and French pedicures. This is done either by applying two design options to the toes at once or in combination with a manicure: a French manicure is applied to the hands and a moon manicure to the feet, or vice versa. In addition, the lunar design with an unpainted or colored hole is still at the peak of popularity.
Ombre
You don’t need to be so careful when choosing a pair to apply a gradient - black looks good in all possible solutions. Any colored coating that completely covers the surface of the nail looks stylish, creating at the same time an unforgettable gradient with the tip of the nail slightly covered in black. This variation is also performed vice versa.
With rhinestones
Rhinestones are a completely self-sufficient element of nail decoration, especially if the stones are large in size. Small ones allow you to additionally decorate the pedicure with a pattern or sparkles; the use of rhinestones as one of the elements in the whole picture looks non-trivial. Colored crystals are matched to match shoes (photo) or clothing.
One of the clever ways to use colored stones is to draw a thin line along the tip of the nail or repeat the hole in a lunar design.
With glitter
Glitter, used in any quantity, adds a festive touch and harmoniously completes the look for an evening event. Usually, for this purpose, golden or silver glitter is taken and applied either to a separate nail, or used in a French or moon pedicure. All kinds of designs made with a shiny outline go well with the black base.
Gel polish
Black gel polish is in no way inferior to conventional coatings, containing the obvious advantage of durability. Gel products allow you to apply all the decorative elements already listed with only one difference: to perform a pedicure you will need a UV lamp and a couple of special coatings (top and base).
On short nails
Short nails are often an advantage for a neat and even pedicure. They are also painted with designs using stencils and brushes, coated with more durable products and laid out with rhinestones. If you want to visually lengthen your nails, you can use one simple technique: divide the surface with a clear vertical line exactly in the middle or draw black and white vertical stripes.
Photo examples
Here are a few more examples demonstrating that a black pedicure can be not at all gloomy, but unusual and relevant for any holiday.
Black pedicure allows you to apply various designs, use rhinestones and sparkles. It emphasizes neatness and well-groomed nails, being a successful addition to any look.

If you don’t like colored varnish, then even a simple colorless one will give them neatness and health. This article contains all the most fashionable trends and new pedicure products of 2017, and contains the best photos on this topic.
Types of pedicure
First, we should note the most common types of pedicure:
Classic trim pedicure. Before applying nail polish, the master steams the feet in a special bath, after which, using professional equipment, the cuticle is removed and the nails are given the desired shape. After this, the heels are polished, during which the rough skin is removed.
European uncut pedicure. It is similar to the classic one, but instead of cutting equipment, specialized gentle substances are used, after treatment with which the cuticle is easily moved back.
Hardware pedicure. No cutting equipment or water is used. For this pedicure, the master uses a special softener, after which a special apparatus is used to remove rough skin by grinding, and then the cuticle is removed.
Today, this method is the safest, since there is practically no chance of getting infected during a session.
SPA pedicure. It is usually used as an additional product for classic and European pedicures, helping to give the legs beauty and health. It uses specialized cosmetics.
Combined pedicure. It is a combination of hardware and classic pedicures, where the nails are processed using a softener, the cuticle is cut off, and the heels are polished with a milling cutter.
Pedicure with gel polish
It is best to have the coating done in a salon and apply gel polish to your nails, because such a pedicure will have a perfect surface and highlights, and will also remain in excellent condition for 3-4 weeks. Below are photos of a fashionable pedicure done with gel polish.
With the proper experience and desire, you can do a pedicure at home, but to do this you should follow safety precautions and first study more carefully the process of preparing your feet and fingers, and applying varnish.
Current colors for pedicure
The first thing you should decide on after the type of varnish is the color. In 2017, the most popular colors are violet, blue, light blue, coral, as well as red and all their shades. For example, mint, burgundy and wine are considered popular. Classic color combinations are back in fashion.
When choosing a color, you need to focus on the time of year. So, for example, for summer and spring, you can safely choose bright and rich colors, and also try ombre or gradient.
For autumn and winter, calmer and cooler colors and shades are best. Pastel shades, black and red have long become classics, so they are suitable for any weather. Below are photos of pedicures of the most popular colors and their combinations.
Fashionable French pedicure
Classics are back in fashion. Elegant, versatile and neat pedicure has long been loved by many women around the world. You should not do it on both short-cut nails and long ones; it is ideal to leave a protruding edge of about 1-2 mm.
Modern trends do not stand still, so in 2017 a fresh look at the French style is relevant, so you can try bright colors, and also step back from the classic “smile” and try options in the shape of a square, triangle, circle.
Fashionable plain pedicure
Oddly enough, simplicity, beauty and lightness continue to be in trend this year, so a single-color coating on all nails, or using several shades without additional decoration, is popular.

All women are interested in trends not only in clothing, but also in beauty. Black pedicure has become one of the most fashionable this season. Moreover, it is relevant not only for the autumn season, but also for the summer. Combining colors, decorative elements and other tricks help create a stunning, rich design.
Perhaps the most unpredictable choice for the spring-summer season was a beautiful black pedicure. This is a predictable nail color for autumn, but not for the warm, vibrant season. The designers decided to break away from the established canons, surprising them with a new trend that ultimately appealed to women of all ages with completely different stylistic preferences.
Fashionable black pedicure 2017 primarily involves a monochrome finish. It's not too original, but it's incredibly versatile. It will go with most outfits and can be used for any event. You can use a traditional glossy finish or a matte finish, which looks very interesting and unusual. For such a design, well-groomed nails are extremely important. Dark color is unusually demanding at this moment.
For people who love something more interesting than just a plain finish, you can create a black, spectacular pedicure using:
- designing nails with a pattern, where black can act as a base color or will be used to create a pattern;
- decorating nails with rhinestones, sparkles, stones, foil tape and for appliques.
Since the main trends in fingernail and toenail design duplicate each other’s features, the following application techniques are relevant for them:
- painting with regular nail polish;
- coating with gel polish;
- using the latest technology, which does not injure the nail plate, and the design remains in perfect condition for 2-3 weeks.
Black Pedicure Ideas
Thanks to the limitless choice of design ideas, a black pedicure on your feet looks stylish, beautiful, interesting and not at all gloomy. Among the latest innovations, designers suggest decorating your nails as follows:
Black pedicure with rhinestones
It would be completely unnecessary to describe the incredible beauty of the shine of the stones against a dark background. A pedicure in black with rhinestones looks elegant, luxurious, but not pretentious. It is more suitable for the warm season. It is better to use such decorative elements when wearing open shoes, otherwise their service life will be significantly reduced. With the help of gems, you can create patterns, lay them out over the entire surface of the nail plate of the thumb, highlight the border of the hole, etc. This design is suitable for everyday wear and special occasions.
Red and black pedicure
Whatever one may say, the classic color combination inevitably appears in fashion trends every year. A red pedicure with a black design is suitable for brave and confident women. Often, a burgundy or deep scarlet shade is used for the background, on which a dark pattern is located. The topic can be very diverse:
- geometric figures;
- lunar design;
- French;
- lace;
- abstraction.
Black matte pedicure
For those who want to achieve contrast not only in shades, but also in texture, the designers offered a black matte pedicure with rhinestones. The shine of stones on such a base looks especially expressive. Decorative elements can be silver, gold or colored. It all depends on the overall design idea. You can combine matte and glossy varnishes, which will also give a stunning effect.
Black French pedicure
For lovers of French nail design, stylists suggest moving away from the traditional option and expanding the color palette. Black summer pedicure can be diversified with a colorful or shiny “smile”. For this, red, white, silver, gold, pink varnishes, sparkles and foil are used. You can, on the contrary, make a dark arc on a colored background. Both options look original and expressive.
Black pedicure with glitter
With the current variety of tools and means for nail art, you can realize any fantasies. Sprinkling glitter is one of the techniques that allows you to create a fantastic design. Such decorative elements can come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. They cover the nail plate of one or several nails completely or partially. They are used as the main decoration or to highlight the details of the design. Against a dark background, the glow looks especially bright and beautiful.
Pedicure black and gold
A black and gold pedicure is an interesting option for any occasion. It will be the highlight of a simple outfit or will highlight the richness of an evening outfit. The shine of yellow metal really looks majestic and rich. To do this, use sparkles, stones with gold edging, rhinestones, foil or metallized decorative thematic elements (anchor, treble clef, cat, heart, etc.).
Pedicure black with silver
For those who love the shine of white metal, it is worth using nail decorations of the corresponding color. A black pedicure design will look especially beautiful if it is complemented with silver details in the form of rhinestones, sparkles or foil. They can lay out a pattern on the nail of the thumb, and on all the others there is only a slight reminder of it. Everything should be in moderation so that the nail art does not turn out to be too overloaded. In this case, it is better to choose discreet shoes without unnecessary decoration. Let there be one accent in the image.
Black pedicure with stripes
Geometric patterns are one of the most popular in the latest season, where stripes occupy a leading position. For the summer period, one of the most relevant is invariably. A vest with an anchor on the thumbnail is worn by most women going to a resort. For this option, a common slide design is often used.
Lines can come in a variety of colors, widths and lengths. They don't have to be perfectly even. A pedicure in black with zigzag stripes has a somewhat futuristic look. The geometry on the nails gives the design a special charm. Strokes can be made not only with varnish, but also with foil tape of different thicknesses.
Black and white pedicure - design
Even with just two colors of polish you can create hundreds of different stunning designs. Black and white pedicure captivates with its spectacular and catchy look. You can use a variety of motifs on the following topics:
- : leopard, zebra, panda - the most harmonious in this color scheme;
- gaming theme: cards, dominoes, cubes. With the help of such elements you can create an original design;
- geometric shapes are the most current and popular among fashionistas. Lines, squares, diamonds, triangles result in a stylish design that attracts the eye;
- romantic motifs: bows, flowers, stars, polka dots. All this will emphasize the tenderness and dreaminess of the owner.

Modern types of pedicure
First, let's look at what types of pedicure are popular now.
- Classic trim pedicure. The leg is steamed in a hot bath. And then, using special tweezers, scissors and files, they shape the nails and remove the cuticles. Then the rough skin of the heels is polished with pumice and the rough skin is removed.
- European (dry) pedicure. It differs from the previous one in that instead of cutting objects, various creams and ointments are used to remove the cuticle;
- Hardware pedicure. One of the safest methods. The attachments for the device are selected individually for each girl, so there is no discomfort during the procedure.
- SPA pedicure. Used as additional care for classic or European pedicure. In order to make your legs even more beautiful and healthy, various creams, masks and scrubs are used.
Now let's look at the main fashion trends of 2018.
Spring and summer are the times when legs should be especially well-groomed and attractive. Girls wear open shoes and go to the beach. That's why it's so important to take care of your toenails.
A popular nail shape is an oval or square with rounded corners. The trend has become especially fashionable when a pedicure is combined with a manicure, but they do not completely copy each other. Only the general idea or style can be traced.
In this case, the manicure can be supplemented with rhinestones or additional patterns.
French pedicure
The most versatile option, suitable for any look and any clothes and shoes. French pedicure looks very cute and feminine. We advise you to move away from the classic combination of white and pink colors.
Experiment with bright polishes. The French look looks best on nails with a protruding edge of 1.5-2 mm. You should not do a French pedicure on short-cut nails.
Pedicure with rhinestones
An ideal summer option, as if specially designed for open shoes, sandals and sandals. You can use both iridescent stones and sparkles. You can decorate one thumbnail with rhinestones.
This will be an everyday option. And for an evening event, for example, a beach party, you can decorate all the nails. It will turn out creative, bright and unusual.
Pedicure with drawings
A stylish pedicure with patterns is suitable for bright, open girls who like to stand out in the crowd. Drawings can be very diverse, it all depends on your imagination.
Geometric and floral motifs are trending. Animal prints, stripes and polka dots are no less popular. And to create a luxurious pedicure, the designs can be supplemented with rhinestones.
Lunar pedicure
The new trend is very much loved by modern girls. With a lunar pedicure, the image becomes gentle and airy. Pedicure colors and decor can be varied. For example, the hole is white, red, semicircular, triangular, made of rhinestones.
Lunar nail art usually looks discreet and elegant, so all fingers are decorated in this style. If you want to decorate the hole with rhinestones, do it only on the thumb, otherwise the pedicure will turn out to be “heavy.”
Multicolor pedicure
Another universal option that can be combined with any clothing and accessories. But make sure the colors match the shoes. Multicolor pedicure is one of the hottest trends this year.
You don't have to use the same polish color on all your nails. Let your imagination run wild. You can use 3-5 different colors when combined at the same time. You can choose several shades of the same color - from light to dark.
Plain pedicure
The classics are constantly being improved, but never become outdated. The summer fashion trend is bright, saturated colors. For example, hot pink, red, mint, blue, green, etc.
These colors look very impressive on tanned skin. And with the onset of cold weather, you can use dark, deep tones - brown, black, burgundy, chocolate, etc.
Pedicure gel polish
Gel polish is one of the latest trends, simply the salvation of a summer pedicure. It is better to have it done in a professional salon. Gel polish adheres perfectly, lasts up to 4 weeks and does not require additional care.
You just need to decide on the design. It will be a single-color coating or multi-colored, or maybe a French coat or holes. Add some rhinestones and create a unique look.
