Why Black Is the Only Color of Nail Polish You Need

If you're not completely ready for grungy nails or simply still feel that going with one solid color is boring, there are plenty of ways to incorporate festive details. Sparkles atop the black base — either on one nail or the entire set — can add texture and shine. A two-toned matte and shiny french manicure offers variation within the singular color scheme. Painting small graphic details in white polish creates a minimalist graphic look.

Finally ready to get behind my favorite nail color? There's no better time than party season and New Year's Eve. Shop the black polish picks ahead!
