The Gist

  • Black and white manicures always have a sense of depth and dimension, thanks to the stark contrast between the shades.

Here’s the thing about black and white nails: They don’t need to rely on color to make a statement. The two bold shades stand out on their own due to their contrast. And when they’re paired to create designs, they have the potential to lean graphic and luxuriously cool.

All it takes is a black line on a white base or a white squiggle over a dark-toned polish to get a mani with instant dimension. After all, there’s a reason black and white outfits never go out of style, and the same logic applies to your manicure.

While summer nail shades seem to come and go every week, opting for this color combo ensures your set remains timeless. Ahead, the coolest black and white nail designs to bookmark for your next appointment.
