black nails

While solid black nail polish once reigned supreme, this rebellious trend has been slightly refreshed with a contemporary update. Instead of plain black tips, beauty lovers are now introducing stripes of black nail lacquer to their fingertips. Layered over pale pink, stark white and metallic silver tips, there’s nothing quite like black accent tips for a striking effect.

With dark, brooding beauty causing a sensation for Fall 2016, it’s hardly a surprise that inky fingernails have been elevated from eccentric statement to edgy trend. On the season’s runways, black nail polish was spotted at DSquared2, Rodarte, Nicholas K and Marc Jacobs.
