2. Matte Black & Glitter V-French Ombre
This design screams chic! It combines the edgy appeal of long, matte black coffin nails with the softness of an ombre accent nail. The accent nails feature a nude-to-pink subtle ombre base with a dramatic deep V-shaped French tip painted in black. The defining feature is the sharp line of silver glitter outlining that V, adding a touch of glam against the matte and nude background.
- Recreating the Look: Start with shaping your nails into that elegant coffin style (or use coffin-shaped press-ons). Apply a Matte Black Nail Polish to most nails. Alternatively, use your favorite glossy black and apply a Matte Top Coat over it once dry. For the accent nails, create the nude ombre base (again, the sponge technique works well). Once the base is dry, use striping tape to create the sharp V shape, paint inside the lines with black polish, and remove the tape carefully while the polish is still slightly wet. Outline the V using a thin Silver Glitter Nail Liner or apply loose glitter over a thin line of nail glue or clear polish. Apply the matte top coat only to the black areas of the accent nail if you want the base to remain slightly glossy or natural.
