Q&A

What are red and black nails?

Red and black nails are a popular trend that is seen year round. While some people may have their own interpretation of what this style entails it’s easy to break down into two separate categories: kiddie vamp and modern goth!

Kiddie vamp can be best described as sweet with a touch of darkness! This look also has elements of old school glam, but doesn’t go overboard when it comes to the darker edge. Some examples include French tips in red along with an accent nail (typically black) or long talons accented by alternative striping like zebra print or cheetah spots!

On the other end of the spectrum there’s modern goth which gives off more traditional felling inspired by rock music and women like Siouxsie Sioux and Amy Lee. This look tends to be edgier and darker, either using classic red or a deeper shade of burgundy.

Depending on your flavor you can choose to rock these nails with or without an accent nail! While some people simply use black, adding a pop of color is another way to showcase your style. Some examples include deep purples, plums and even dark greens.
