    Black nail polish would be on either. if you are goth or it's hallowen it's soo cute and in. But if it's for just cause soooooooo tack.

    Red nail polish always in. It looks cute with anything. It's a great way to brigten up an outfit or someons day!

    I like when they put a very pale blue and put a pretty design on. Once i got rainbow colored ... so 7 colors per nail. It looked sooo cute.

    I also do enjoy french manicures to. i think they look so cute and natural...(sometimes). Great question btw.

  • I like shiny black polish but I think it will not suit on me so I don't wear it as for the red one it is COOL and i love it in any season but mostly it looks cool in the summer especially the bright one well that's what I think.My fave is Red, Pink and Blue.

    Black nail polish is in as long as its shiney and not a dull black, so use a top coat. Red nail polish is great for fall and winter, but try using a deep cranberry red instead of fire engine red, and i love pink nail polish but it really all depends on your skin tone.:0)

    black- can look nice on shorter nails with a matte finish so as to not look witchy. i personally never wear it.

    red- always classy, but hard to find a good shade sometimes.

    my favorite color for toes is fire engine red with high gloss.

    the top colors for fall/winter (according to the large number of cosmetic lines i have seen launch so far) are:

    1. purples/plums

    2. reds/crimsons

    3. navy

    4. teal/greens

    5. black

    my personal favorites are...

    OPI vodka & caviar (creamy red)

    OPI koala beary (vinyl hot pink)

    merle norman teddy bare (creamy nude)

    french manis are timeless.

    black nail polish tends to look a little goth or tacky, and it can make your skin tone look gross.

    if you really want to use something dark, try a deep brown, it's less harsh. i use o.p.i.'s 'espresso your style.'

    as for red, as long as you use a good, bright shade that isn't too bluish, it looks great. i'd recommend orly's 'haute red.'

    Like she said glossy black looks good with anything. Red makes me feel like a hooker. I usually go with a light silver light pink and black.

    Just paint them! I paint my nails and I'm a boy, it's one of my favourite things. I have over about 30 different polishes and gels. I just buy it and paint it, my favourite polishes are white with a Diamond Jubilee top coat, it's crazy when I go to night clubs because I wear no shoes or socks and I always carry a polish (or 5) with me. I have a lot of boys come to me and ask if I had the colour, I said yes and all the boys had their toe nails painted glow in the dark pink! Nail polish 💅🏽 is a gift to me and I love it.
