Monochromatic painting originated in Germany and was a very popular medium for abstract artists.
It is a way of distorting images and can synthesize high and low values of color or light. Because of this, monochrome art has influenced minimalism.
A simple black and white nail design can be just the trick to transforming any basic look.
Perhaps you are a person that only wears black or neutral tones. Try a monochromatic nail art to make it more daring and fun. This may express your artistic side while sticking to a sharp and clean look.
For a subtle look, try an ombre effect. This gently blends the color into a gradient and can be very classy.
Other recognizable monochrome nail ideas are yin yang, zebra print, geometric patterns and piano keys. Whilst often cheesy, it can be fun to play with popular monochromatic imagery.
Black and white images offer a heavy contrast that is appealing to everyone and are easily digestible.
The best part is that it is easy! All you need is black (or a bold color of your choosing) and white nail polish and some tape to make your own unique monochromatic nail art.
Simply tape off the areas that you would like to be black and the area that you would like to be white and you are on your way!
From transforming a classic French tipped nail to more complicated design, monochromatic nails are sophisticated. Maintain your minimalist aesthetic with a sharp monochromatic nail design.
