Question:
I never have cared for dark nails on me or other people. I've always thought it was distracting and detracted from a person's face. I like a bright red with red lipstick though, and I think a black satin on short nails would be very good with a face very natural except for a lipgloss, three coats of mascara and liner. I have to say I only am attracted to the satin/matte black nail concept. It seems enough contrast without the shine......unless I had a black patent leather head band.
Dear God, I really think like this. That a person's appearance is a bit like composing a painting, there should be a focal point-the face, IMO, and interesting accents for the eye to follow pleasantly, but always echoing back to the face. That's my gripe with too much cleavage, it's all people can look at, and there's not a woman in the world without something better to offer.
Anyone concerned with "too Goth" can wear yellow gold jewlery and I think the Goth bubble will burst.
I just about have my Southern Baptist self talked into this!

Answer:
Lincoln Park After Dark is gorgeous. It also has a great lacqeur look to it. Looks black from afar but the red shows up close.
yummm,

Answer:
I haven't tried black, but I think it's a good idea. I like deep purple with lots of glitter, stars, moons etc.

Answer:
I am wearing Lincoln Park after Dark on my toes
It is as good as Chanel's "Vamp" in 1994!

Answer:
I’ve been doing black polish since I was in my teens, and well, I turn 40 this year. I have a lot of very dark polishes. Face Stockholm is my favourite black black – it is still nice and runny after several years and I only need two coats. I also have a Boots No 7 polish (no longer made, sadly) called Black Tulip, which is black shot through with iridescent midnight blue and a hint of gold; a L’Oreal black with glitter, and Chanel Ciel de Nuit, which came out not long after Rouge Noir/Vamp, and is a deep midnight blue with very fine blue and silver glitter in it.
