I love the sleek matte black colorway but adding a unique design or accent nail really makes them pop. The matte black look is always in style and creates a sophisticated and chic look. Take the basic solid color a step further with a subtle design that suits your style and shows your personality in your manicure.
We went through loads of different designs to find our favorite. Whether you want something to try for yourself or some ideas to show your nail tech, we’ve got something for you.
We have a huge list of black mate nails already but we wanted to focus on a list of ones with a prominent design. Something that really stands out against the black and adds a bit of fun or luxury to the style.


I do hope this has given you some ideas for matte black nails with a design If you give this a go – I want to see it! Send me a photo of your own design and we’ll feature them here.
Our inspiration photos come from user submissions and open sources and we’ll always give credit. All of the fantastic styles belong to their respective owners. If we’ve got a credit wrong or you’d rather we don’t feature you – just drop us an email.
