Almost every design looks very gorgeous in black and white combination. You can add white flowers over black or vice versa. You can paint butterflies also. In the following picture first I applied my base coat and then sponged some white color starting from tips to just above my cuticles. After white colour dried up, I painted a few black branches on my nail tips and then added some very small black leaves. After this I added a few red dots to my nail art to enhance its beauty.
