Nailing the Black and White Fashion Trend (Nail Art Edition)

March Jacobs – Spring 2013

Black and white was possibly the most consistent trend on the Spring/Summer 2013 New York Fashion week runways and Marc Jacobs did it well in a new and fresh way. The chic and effortless look already has women experimenting in new ways of pairing black and white in their wardrobe. Today, be inspired in a different way. Watch the tutorials below to see how you can introduce the shade on shade trend in your nail art designs.

These nail art design tutorials are for everyone. Whether your personal style is chic, girly or edgy, there is a black and white nail art design here for you. There are also easy and more advanced looks so you can find something for your level of competence no matter how basic or complex your skill level.

Most of the designs seen on the runways featured very block-type styling with polka dots and stripes. Here is another way in which you can experiment in block styling on your nails with a puzzle style design.

Now, if you are more into the feminine look, there is something for you too. The video below features an easy but more time-consuming swirly design created using a simple water-marbelling technique.  The nail art design tutorial that follows features a free-hand drawn design.

Now, if you're into the more edgy look, this nail art video tutorial is the one for you. If you don't have studs, go for something else of try silver dots. Just get creative.  

I hope that one of these nail art looks inspired you to create something fun and beautiful this weekend. Which one of the nail art looks was your favourite?
