A typical french tip or white nail can seem too bland.
If you want your next manicure to be fresh and simple but not nearly boring, an oval black nail could be just what you’re looking for.
As a color, black has a range of meanings and interpretations. Typically, it’s known to represent mystery and general darkness. Because of this, it is definitely more exciting to look at than white or beige, but less distracting than neons or nail accessories like tiny gems.
The best thing about a black oval nail is that it can be as simple or embellished as you would prefer.
The oval nail is a great middle option to natural nails or long acrylics.
You won’t be stuck with short or bland nails, but you also won’t have to deal with getting accustomed to long talons. The oval shape looks clean and well-managed, but not too high maintenance.
One of the best ways to wear black oval nails is simply with a coat of black polish – a sweet and simple nail look that still has a certain mysterious and bold edge.
One might also choose to add some small detail to the nail look using a matte topcoat or an accent nail. A matte topcoat is a great way to add just a little something extra to a black manicure, and an accent nail can be done in so many different ways.
You could use anything from fine glitter to small stones or gold leaf to create a cute but simple accent nail for your short, sweet, and to the point black manicure.
