The black nails trend is here again, which makes us so happy. Really, what can be edgier and more elegant than a manicure in blacks?
But what do you know about this trend except for its common association with the rebellious nature of a person wearing it? In fact, this association we all know is only a small part of the history of this trend. Thus, in ancient China, only royals could paint their nails black. Then this trend was out for quite a while right until the 1970-s when Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and the whole rock culture along with them revived the trend of painting nails black. And in the 1990-s the trend became more common for the gothic culture.

Matte Black Nails for Classy Look
Matte finish paired with black nails gives us some chic and elegant vibes. Black color becomes deeper and more saturated with matte finish. But sometimes it may look very boring. In order to avoid it, add some design to it. The simplest way to do this is to cover the tip of your nails with a glossy finish. This will create an effect which is subtle and original at the same time. You may also create a pattern or geometric figures with a glossy finish. It will gleam in the sunlight. If you want your nails to pop, go for a contrasting pattern.
