Black is Back

Another trend that looks like it’s here to stay is black nail polish. The fall fashion runways had black fingernails and even black lips everywhere. It seems like the rebel rocker look has finally made it to the mainstream. Black nails have not always been a sign of an anti-establishment agenda. In fact, jet-black nails used to speak of royalty and lavish living. In ancient China, nail color was used to signify social ranking, with mere commoners enjoying shades of pink while the royals used red and black. In the centuries that followed, popular nail colors ranged from sweet pastels to raging neons, but black was relatively unheard of. Then, in the seventies, rockers such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury resurrected the look. On the hands of these hard rockers, black nail polish took on a whole new meaning.

Today, anyone can rock this “bad girl” look that can be so pretty and fashionable.
