Black nails...faux paus?

Question

Do you think havin black nails is sexy or just bad...

Answer 1

it depends on the person. On some it can be edgy and carefree. You've got to be able to pull it off.

Answer 2

Its not just Black Africa either, It's North Africa and The Middle East too, The root cause = Colonization. The rammifacations of it are still felt today and it is my beleif they are the root cause of the many ills Africa and the Middle East face today. Not the primary but the root cause mind you, all these ills have some colonialistic origins which set them into motion. It's the History that is to cause I would say. take Africa, Because of the disparites caused by Colonization, which is an umbrella term for a lot of bad things that happend to africa during the period, and in the United States slavery, discrimination, social inequality and all that jaz. These are the main factors that have set Blacks back, even though those days are no longer nigh they have a profound effect on today's blacks. Slowly though black people are catching up and overcoming these historical pitfalls. Examples. Colonization raped Africa of its resources, brought in foregin concepts of nationhood in a continent that was primarly still tribalistic, Created artifical borders without regard to ethnicity, Geography and all that jazz, Brought in Guns and other modern warmaking tools which escalated otherwise normal Tribal Skirmishes into Genocides, civil wars and all that. Too much to explain. As for Blacks in America, they only started to get to be treated humanely in the 70's and 60's. Its been several decades since then and they've already made lots of progress given the time that hass passed. Soon america will have a black president....These things take time though.

Answer 3

I have black nail polish on right now! I love it! I'm not "gothic" I just wanted to try something new and I'm getting so many compliments!
I think it is ok during the winter, but I think during the summer it would look a little funky.

Answer 4

Normally I would say a faux pas, but recently, darker nail polish colors are coming into style. Deep plums, burgundies, and even blacks are "in" now. Its all a matter of personal preference

Answer 5

I don't like it.What I do like that in style now is slightly rounded nails with a bright red on the cuz they look different and kinda stand out but in a good way.

Answer 6

i don't think black nails look bad unless your nails are über long and they end up looking like witch nails or something, or if it's all dull looking and chipped off. a super shiny black nail polish looks chic on its own on short, slightly rounded nails, or you could wear it with a sparkly top coat or add funky details like stripes or polka dots in other colors. i wear black nail polish all the time, but i add things like glitter polish or stripes or dots on top to make it look awesome and unique.

Answer 7

On short nails, it looks great! Very long black nails, however, can look a bit OTT in my opinion.

Answer 8

it seems like every other celebrity now has black/dark nails....i wouldnt do it just cause i'd feel gothic (and no im not bashing anyone who is cuz i actually used to be goth about 5 years ago and now im girlier then ever). its all what ur comftorable with. just be urself when it comes down to it....and thats what will be more attractive to people...being ur own person!

Answer 9

Its awesome!!! I love black finger nail polish ^^ It gives me that extra punk edge to my look. Just keep nails short.

Answer 10

I dont like them. As a nail tech not to many people want them.
