How to tell if a black manicure is for you?
Black is a classic. It is perfect in clothes, but as for nails, such coloring requires special attention and adherence to certain rules.
Firstly, the optimal shape for a manicure is square short nails, since it looks vulgar on long rounded or pointed nails, and it is not possible to achieve the desired effect. If your nails are square in shape, and even not grown enough, consider yourself lucky. You can without any doubt give yourself such a manicure.
Secondly, if you are the owner of beautiful night-colored hair, then you willy-nilly have to refuse to use dark varnish, preferring another color, for example, scarlet or burgundy. For a crow will look vulgar and unnecessarily gothic. Black lacquer is best suited for girls with brown hair, redheads, blondes and blondes.

Black manicure and makeup
And a few tips for those who still decided to decorate their image with varnish of the darkest shade. If you prefer black on your nails, then you should not use eyeliner or solid shades in your makeup: the image will be overloaded, and instead of audacity, you can make a vulgar impression. Your choice should be given to a lighter make-up: peach or beige blush, glitter of delicate, pastel colors instead of bright lipstick, etc. Thus, your image will be completed without any frills.
Jewelry plays a significant role: they should not be large and massive, it is better to choose modest and discreet ones. Otherwise, you will look like a Goth girl.
Black lacquer, like any other, is presented in a wide range, and we are talking not only about shades, but also about texture: matte, glossy, craquelure… You can even find sparkles of the same color.
But when applying an anthracite lacquer on the nails, it should be remembered that all the errors (cracks, pimples, etc.) on it are visible at a glance, which is why it is recommended to select a special strong fixer for it. Then in a day your claws will not look unkempt.
If there are cracks or any defects on the nails, give preference to matte varnish. Well, if you can boast of the perfect shape and excellent condition of the nails, you can use both glossy varnish and sparkles.
