Are black nail designs in style?

Yes, they are. You may choose to cover your entire nail with a black color or you can opt for some other colors on top of the black base. This is why it’s commonly called as Color On Top design. The very famous form of this design is the Clear Stiletto which has become so popular these days.

Some popular black nail designs are Gothic, Halloween, Dark Night Sky.

The quick and easy way to do the Color On Top type of design is by simply applying a coat of clear polish on top of your base color (any color that matches your outfit). This would let you save some time since you don’t have to apply a black layer of nail polish and then waiting for your nails to dry. This way, you can just apply the color on top and you would have a professional looking manicure within minutes.

Black is not only an elegant color for evening gowns but it is also suitable for our tips during summer days. You don’t have to remove your black tip polish as a summer top coat nail art to give a break from the dark nails.

Do black nail designs go with everything?

Black nail designs like the All-Seeing Eye make for an honest manicure that can easily be worn with anything.

The reason why this is true is because black, as the final hue in any color wheel, has a humble quality to it that makes it both non-aggressive and decidedly unfussy. The other colors like pink, turquoise, orange – these are all loud colors that demand attention or simply purchase our full attention.

When we wear one of them on our nails, for example by painting the nails themselves or applying very shiny polish over a pre-existing polish job from another color family, then they take center stage and override most other features on the face besides eyes and eyebrows – meaning there won’t be much of an opportunity for us to express our personality on the nails.

Black, however, has a humble quality to it that makes it both non-aggressive and unfussy which is why black nail designs are easy to pull off.

We don’t have to pick out very complicated designs for this color because not only will they stand out too much, it would be a bit too much for the eye to take in.

By all means, try out different designs with your black or dark-colored polishes just don’t be surprised if you’re asked politely to sit down during an interview because your nails are way too distracting.

What does black say about your personality?

You’re mysterious. Others want to know more about you. You like to be viewed as an enigma, someone who is impossible to read and unpredictable.

You say it’s hard for others to understand you; the feeling is mutual. You find it frustrating when people can’t relate to your point of view, but also know this is a two-way street.

You insist on being seen as different, rather than blending in with the crowd. You prefer to stand out and be recognized for your unique style instead of conforming to society’s definition of perfection.

How to do black nail designs?

Perhaps, the easiest and most fun way to do black nail designs is with a good-quality manicure set.

This will likely give you one or two blacks that can be applied as an opaque polish over your natural nails.

If you want something more edgy, go for nail art pens; they’re usually small and come in various widths which you can use to create anything from stripes to dots. They also dry quickly so there’s no smudging!

Black is a great colour for Halloween and winter so it’ll work well this season too if you decide to wear the same go-to colours of red, green, pink purple etc… I promise not everyone wants white nails! So consider sticking with darker tones.
