You don't need to have special skills in order to create some amazing black and red nail designs. Furthermore, there are some simple methods that will help you get a glamorous look without having to spend lots of money in beauty saloons.

The first thing you need to do before choosing a certain design is to file your nails in a desired shape. Stiletto nails are very trendy these days, but if you like squared shapes instead, you can opt for a classic square manicure. Many girls have problems keeping their nails long, so if you find yourself in the same situation, you can buy a set of glue-on nails that you will be able to use to create some great black and red nail designs.

Before applying the glue-on nails, make sure that your cuticle are pushed back. That way you will obtain a more natural look. You can opt for a simple manicure that involves painting the surface of your nail black and drawing a red line at the top of the nail. The visual impact will be even bigger if you reverse the colors for one nail at each hand. All you have to do is follow the same method that you use for french manicure, so it is very simple to be done and it won't take you more than five minutes.

However, it will take you longer than that to create one of the sophisticated black and red designs, but we are sure that you will enjoy the time that you'll spend doing some of the models we propose you.

If you have decided for stiletto nails, you must cut the ends of the glue-on nails to an angle first. Than, you can start by applying a black polish on the surface and by painting a red polish in a v-shape on the tips. This type of design is very similar to the french manicure, the only difference is represented by the shape of your nails. In order to make the color last longer, you can apply a top coat that will also add a sparkly touch to your nails.

If you want your nails to match the season, you can opt for a design that involves drawing a red flower on top of the black polish that you have applied on your nail. Before starting to work at your flowers design, you must allow the black polish to dry completely. Next, you need to use a thin brush to apply five drops of polish in the middle of each nail. You will need a pick which you will use to draw the petals of the flower. All you have to do is fix the pick in the middle of each drop of polish, and pull it towards the exterior by drawing a line.

You will see that the drops' shapes will become similar to those of the leafs. In order to complete the design you must add a top coat because that way you will help it last longer.
