Top Tips for Choosing Black Glitter Nails Designs

Before you dive into the millions of styles created to achieve the black glitter nails look, here are a few handy tips you can refer to:

  • Choose a color for the glitter: Black works well with a range of glitter colors. From the classic gold or silver to rose gold or even some splashes of color. This will help you narrow down the styles you’re looking at. 
  • Choose a nail shape: Nail length and shape will help further filter black glitter nail designs. Longer nail plates can have more intricate designs like stripes or constellations while shorter nails can explore french glitter manicures.
  • DIY or nail salon: Decide whether you want to take the nails to the salon to get them done or do it yourself. Manicurists can help you achieve some very stylish looks like black lace nails. If you’re doing it yourself, stick to simpler styles so there’s less room for error.

Style 3: Black Glitter Ombre Nails

One of our favorite looks from this list, and one that girls always swoon over is the black glitter ombre nail style. Pair it with another shade of your choice or keep it simple with nude shades. Black glitter ombre nails strike the perfect balance between edgy and classy.

We prefer to pair this with a longer nail length, but it looks just as gorgeous on shorter lengths too!

Style 4: Black and Silver Glitter Nails

Another classic and timeless combination, black and silver glitter nails are a guaranteed winner. We love reserving this style for evening parties or bigger events but it can be just as suitable as an everyday look as well.

For everyday wear, go for a shorter length and keep the longer lengths for a big party. Throw in some jewels and accessories to make this the perfect nail look for any big day!
