Black Nail Polish vs. French Manicure

teenvan60 · 11-13-2006, 10:39 PM

Im a french manicure addict, I rarely have anything but a french, but now im seeing the black color come in, I think it looks pretty cool.

I just want some opinions.....for example does black look better on short or long nails? Too bold of a color???

Black nails def look better on short nails. Long black nails look so dragonlady!

Oh ya, black definitely looks better on short nails. Well, not too short but not long nails. I like the dark nail look since its winter time n gloomy. Although I love french manicures. Looks good with anything and for everything.

I love them both. I've always been addicted to french manicures too! I've even learned how to do them myself

and i've gotten pretty good at it. I think black looks pretty cool too. I'm thinking about trying it out sometime because i've always thought it was too bold. But definitely you should have not too short not too long nails if you're getting black. If you're getting a french manicure then long square nails look better.

o0o0o i've done that,it looks so nice. especially when i add on white flower nail stickers.

black has to be done on SHORT nails. i find it gross on long nails.

i love dark purplish black
my friend got her nails painted pure black and then on the top she had purple & white "ribbons" or lines paited at the corner with some crystals..so gorgeous!

I've had my nails done French mani style and then short with black polish. I'd say both are fun but express different looks. Right now I'm so into the black polish look.

i hate how people in school thinks this look is "emo" look.
just because your finger nails are black, doesn't make you emo.
and this look is not emo anymore as you can see,
emos are into the rainbow stockings and pokemon backpacks
(at least thats how the emos dress at my school lols)

LoL. Totally agree with you.
I looove black nail polish... too bad my mom thinks it's satanic.
Yeah, those rainbow stockings are really 'in' with the emo crowd.
Although at my school, they like their Strawberry Shortcake and Barbie backpacks better than Pokemon... maybe those Pokemon ones are Asian emos. LOL.
I like French too, but you have to get them done all the time, and it's a pain in the ass, because money just floats out of your pocket. Black nail polish is cheap and looks okay if it's chipped.

AHHA my mom thinks that way about black nails too. sometimes she wouldn't even let me out the door unless i remove it. O! yeah strawberry shortcake and barbie packbacks are here too! i just couldn't think of their names so i replaced it w/ pokemon
