Black is an unexpected manicure choice in general. This is especially true when it comes to your prom nails.
Black is a stark contrast to the soft colorful fabrics and the general atmosphere associated with prom.
Black prom nails are a perfect way to add a bit of rebellion and unapologetic style to the whole formal affair.
There are many black nail designs that you can try out. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination…
Do a solid black manicure with a matte finish. This is an especially fierce and modern style that contrasts nicely with shiny or soft fabrics.
Choose a second color and add an accent nail to your black manicure.
You can choose a color that’s in your prom outfit to tie it all together.
Go for a black and white chevron or minimalist design.
Rock a half moon manicure with black on the top and white or nude on the bottom.
Wear a black glitter polish to add some sparkle to your black prom nails and still look elegant.
Go for a sleek, high-gloss black for a shiny finish that is bold yet classic.
Combine black with a metallic accent polish like rose gold or silver.
Wear black polish with jeweled or metallic accents.
Wear black polish with warm neutral colors like sand or sage for a more earthy look.
Black is great for long or short nails. It’s one of those colors that, regardless of nail length, will make a statement that will take you from prom to the after party in style.
