Black nail art is peak Halloween and the easiest way to bring a bit of goth into our lives. And everything pops against a black base, from wild floral art to satin highlights. If you’re not comfortable rocking basic black nail polish, you can always opt for minimal nail art. Or embrace black accents over a sheer base. The trick is to find what suits your personality.
Ready to take a walk on the dark side? Here’s some of the most wearable black nail art of the season.
