Black nail polish is one of those things that everyone who paints their nails should have in their collection. It's elegant, it's timeless, and it goes with everything - do we need to say more? However, finding the right black nail polish can be difficult - many of them leave a patchy mess behind instead of an even, beautiful coat.
That is not the case with ella+mila nail polishes - we worked really hard to create a formula that allows you to achieve that perfect look but is also long-lasting, so you don't have to worry about your manicure getting ruined after less than a day.
The beauty of black nail polish is that no matter which finish you decide to go with, it will look just as amazing. How about a traditional, shiny finish like the one you get with our Lights Out's black nail polish? Or maybe something more modern, such as a trendy matte one? Or, if you have something crazier in mind, how about glitter black toe nail polish? Oh, and what about combining the last two, as our Black Magic polish does? The choices are endless!
No matter which one you choose, one thing is for sure - your nails will always be the main character when you wear black nail polish.
There are many things we care about, and our world is one of the top positions on that list. For this reason, we made our black nail polishes vegan and animal cruelty-free. They are also 17-Free, which means that they are made without harmful ingredients such as:
and more, ensuring that doing your nails won't bring you more harm than good.
What's more, our nail polishes are made with the highest quality in mind, which is why they are produced in the US, don't chip as easily, and dry quickly. After all, there's nothing worse than accidentally touching something and ruining your manicure because the nail polish took forever to dry!
Choosing your favorite black nail polish is just the first step - the next one is perfecting the technique with which you'll achieve that beautiful, seamless look! So, how do you do it?
First of all, you need to protect your nails with a base coat, one like our All About the Base or Cover Your Bases. Clean your nails, and make sure that they are dry before applying it - one coat should be more than enough, especially since a base is just the protective barrier between your nail and the black nail polish.
Once the base is completely dry, you can move to the next step, which is nail polish. Start with a straight line in the middle, and then fill it out on either side. Leave to dry and repeat the process if needed.
Once both coats of polish are on, you can finish off your manicure by applying a top coat. If you don't have a favorite yet, you can take a look at our selection - we have an In a Rush fast-drying top coat for when you're in a hurry, a Matte-ly in Love for when you want a modern take on a classic look, or What the Gel? for when you want to achieve that smooth-looking, shiny perfection you'd get using gel polishes.
And that's it! We're sure it won't take you more than a few tries to master the technique!
Black nail polish should be a staple piece in anyone's nail collection. It's a versatile color that goes well with almost any piece of clothing and occasion and looks good on anyone, regardless of their gender, skin color, or age.
