Question:
Since Chanel brought out their Black Satin polish, which sold out in a blink and now goes for mad prices on ebay. Black polish is really the big trend.
So would you go black or is it too goth for you?
Have to say I really like the look with a top coat you get the black glass look.
I didn't buy the Chanel but OPI Black Onyx,cheap on ebay of course!! LOL
So far I have only done toe nails, but I have seen women with short nails and black polish looks very classic actually!

Answer:
I've been wearing black nail polish since I was fifteen... my first nail polish was Cutex Jet Black!
I like the short-black-nails look, always have.

Answer:
I wore black polish back a long time ago ... I have really short nails and I'm thinking of giving it a try again. I'm not going to buy the Chanel brand, though ... and I'm liking the black that has a bit of shimmer to it.

Answer:
I have a good tip: first black nail polish, then any nacre shade on top, as thin layer as possible. The impression is still black but when the light hits your nails, there's a lovely glimmer.

Answer:
to me black nail polish = french manicure for other women.
it's my signature polish specially on my short nails.
to spice it up add a layer of platinum or silver colored polish on top.
amazing effect.

Answer:
funny how the black polish look got trendy but there's women who have been doing it forever. i love the look. used to do it as a teenager, doing it again now but going for variation on the black: black with a lighter final layer (silver or irridescent), very dark wine color, dark dark blue. I look at all the colors to see what I like, then choose.
I agree short dark nails looks very chic. In fact today I got mine done with Opi's "Lincoln Park After Dark"

Answer:
I love black polish on short nails. I wear my nails very short and as I have pale skin I think the dark dramatic colors, including black, look best, especially as I have rather squarish shaped hands with long fingers. Dainty colors don't always set them off to best advantage. I love some of the ideas for a shimmery coat on top of the black. Festive for the holidays.

Answer:
LOL. I have always liked wearing dark burgundy, navy or black nail lacquer because I can never grow my nails long! Also i have pale skin and the contrast looks good, i think. very dramatic and striking, which is the look i am drawn too i guess. I have been told i should wear pastels, but i feel more myself in deeper colors. I just like showing my dark/sexy side. All the trendy fashion obsessed people i knew thought the dark nail colors were gross, goth, tacky, or only for freaks. But now i am sure all those people are wearing it!!!

Answer:
I bought OPI Black Onyx but didn't like it at all. It went on looking semi transparent and took forever to dry. Didn't look good more than a few hours after application. I happened to win a bottle of Chanel Black Satin and wow, that's a good nail polish! Looks perfect after one application and lasts forever with a top coat.
Try OPI Lincon Park after Dark wich is a gorgeous dark wine-plum colour, looks almost black but a little less goth. Strangely this colour dries fast and lasts for ages

Answer:
you wear what feels good. black nails done right are hard to beat on the right hands.
"you have to paint things black in order to make future possibilities more vivid."
