Why Black Is the Only Color of Nail Polish You Need

If you're tackling black nail polish at home on your own, Sarah emphasized the necessity of maintenance.

"It's important to touch up the polish frequently while applying, as it will bleed," she said. "It's a darker color and chips will be more obvious, so apply a topcoat every other day to preserve the look for as long as possible."

She also emphasized that you should apply a solid basecoat or else the highly pigmented nail polish could stain your digits.
