Black nail varnish ??!

[pineneedle]

Seen loads of people wearing it on tv (I think??!) is it really fashionable at the moment- or should it be left in the realms of the teenage Goths??!

oh my friend had hers black...it is ok...it makes a nice change!

I wear black nailvarnish.

Do want to buy some, although I didn't see any in the shops last week?

I think black is a bit harsh. Go for very dark red or dark brown inside.

I love black nail varnish but have stopped wearing it whilst everyone and his dog is. Will use it again once "the masses" are wearing neon pinks and oranges in the spring. And once my nails have grown a bit - they are beyond awful at the moment.

yes hteres a new Chanel one that is a bit lighter

i wear the very dark red chanel one. it looks almost black. rimmel do one nearly the same but it's not as nice and thick.

I've not been without it on my toes for at least 20 years now.

Mmm don't think I'll be doing this one (nails not good enough for one) but mostly because it would be like reliving the worst excesses of my "alternative" phase as a teen......

It's all right on long nails but I think it looks like some horrible accident on short ones (anyone ever broken a toe?). Actually same goes for any dark colour I reckon.

oh no! dark nail varnish on long nails looks too goth. i much prefer it on short nails, not bitten down to the skin short but short and neat and square.

now isnt it funny how someone saying thay have used it for 20 years imediately maked them LESS stylish and more sad old goth who need to MOve ON

Oh god, NO.

Rouge noir, yes.

Black, no, unless you are a goth.

no theres a new chanel balck expat
it was very in at xmas

I think Black looks ok if your tanned and quite trendy other wise it just looks baaaaad.
Dark Red or Brown looks much better IMO.

Chanel Noir Ceramic 337 Nail Colour, £23 (020-7493 3836). Chanel's pure black nail varnish was a sell-out, but it's past its prime now. The clever money's on this new nearly black shade with the faintest light reflective shimmer.

You did NOT buy it? Or, worse, put it on?

NO!

But I was never a goth. So your theory fails

Hmmm, its still Black though.

no i have shit nails

I was looking at black but on the basis I wear black most of the time I think I will look too Goth?

Oh no if you're in top-to-toe black all the time, your nails are an opportunity for a little creative frisson of colour, makes it a little more girly. Ditto handbags - patent red bag and matching glossy red nails, or electric blue or brown leather.
