Black Nails - sexy or grotty?

Goth-like, dark & brooding or plain sexy? Love it or hate it, black nail polish is here to stay. Come the onset of cooler months and darker nail colours emerge as a season trend. Personally I struggle with liking this trend. So by way of challenging myself and maybe celebrating winter, I have taken on the darker shade of nail and while I may not quite go the full black, I am going to go a dark plum or purple. Gosh – if I mix this with green eyeshadow threat from my last blog I will look just a treat!

Winners of the 2010 Natural Health & Beauty Awards for “best nail lacquer”, Zoya have some dramatic darker shades – from deep black, to midnight blue to dark magentas. Choose your darker shade of nail:

Raven

Raven can be best described as: Intense satiny black with a very subtle silver shimmer.

Zoya Nail Polish - Mikka

Mikka can be best described as: Wintery deep wine purple with very fine, frosty silver shimmer.The silver shimmer lightens and adds interest to the vampy nail trend.

Indigo

Indigo

Indigo can be best described as: A dark indigo blue shimmer with a pinch of holographic microglitter.

Domvia
Dovima

Dovima can be best described as: Smoky charcoal-black with strong silver shimmer and a velvety matte finish.

Casey
Casey

Casey can be best described as: Dark, rich, saturated blackened red-purple creme. Impossibly sexy and dramatic to vamp up your look.

When running with this trend, just remember darker nail shades, particularly black must be applied carefully. They are unforgiving and can look tacky if chipped or sloppily applied. Love it or hate it, will you wear black nail polish this season?
On another nail polish related note, while surfing Yotube I came across this video about the toxic ingredients in regular nail polishes. Fortunately Zoya contains NONE of these ingredients which is why we chose this brand. Yay to Zoya!
