How to Wear Black Nail Polish
This one doesn’t really do subtle.
Black nail polish has never needed an introduction. It’s bold and moody, yet somehow always chic and timeless. From glossy jet black to shimmery finishes and almost-black shades, there’s more range here than you’d think. Consider this your guide to finding the right black for you.
Find Your Shade Match
We get it, black nail polish can be intimidating. Don’t know where to start? Take a cue from your skin’s undertone.
- Cool or fair skin tones: pure, glossy black like Black Onyx
- Medium and olive skin tones: rich, ultra-shiny inky black like OPI Ink
- Deep or warm skin tones: saturated jet black or deep navy like Midnight Mantra
