Wearing one of these black nail designs is a surefire way to bring out your inner rock star. Black nails are the definition of cool and one of the most flexible colors out there, whether you’re trying for a dark and mysterious vibe or hunting for a basic shade that quickly improves any appearance. “Black will be a trend for a long time, if not always,” nail artist Hang Nguyen tells Bustle. It’s simply a fantastic classic.
In Nguyen’s opinion, black nail paint is a versatile tone that is both edgy and classy. She enjoys using black in the majority of her nail designs, using it as an outline, contrasting it with colors, and creating negative space nail art (which she says is a really nice go-to). You’ll find that there are so many entertaining ways to style black nails that will keep you going back to darker hues.
