Stunning Black Nails You Should Try
Would you like to elevate your fingernails with nails that pop you out? Try any of these black nails so you exude class, luxury, and style with ease:
Black Matte Nails
As the name implies, these dark-colored nails don’t have any shine or gloss.
They’re lacklustre yet cute, usually having a smooth even surface free from highlights.
Black French Nails
This is a combo of pale pink, nude, or sheer polish with a solid black tip.
They’re a shift from the regular French manicure which uses white tips instead.
Black Nails with a Pop of Color
If you don’t want to wear your nails plain black, add a pop of color to them by smearing them with patches of gold, white, pink, or a bold color that catches your fancy.
You’ll look exceptional especially if you go for something like cow print nails.
Black Nails with Celestial Bodies
Imagine wearing the sun, moon, or stars, on your fingers. What a delight it’ll be to behold.
You can paint them in silver, gold, white, or any color that accentuates the beauty of these bodies.
Black Glossy Nails
If you love your nails shiny when you flaunt them, go for glossy black nails.
They add sheen to the color black, making it more appealing.
Glittery Nails
Similar to the one above, you can also add gemstones and other forms of glitter to your nails.
They add more accents to your nails, even if it’s matte.
Stiletto Nails
These ones have pointed tips.
They’re bold and daring and are sure to give that confident, edgy vibe when you pull them off.
Black Ballerina/Coffin Nails
Ballerina nails have a square rather than a pointy tip. They’re called ballerina or coffin nails because the shape resembles a ballerina’s slippers.
But while some people think ballerina and coffin nails are the same, other nail enthusiasts believe they’re not. The difference usually given between them is that while the tips of coffin nails have flat and sharp edges, while ballerina nails have soft and subtly curved edges.
Hear it from Kim Caddel, Writer at BeautyStack:
“Coffin-shaped nails have straight-edged sides leading up to their blunt tips, while ballerina nails are similar, they have more rounded sides leading up to the tips.”
