This "Intimidating" Shade Is Pretty Much the Chicest Way to Elevate Your Nails

There’s no doubt that black nail polish used to represent a certain type of vibe. In the past, it was affiliated with goths, punks, and rock ‘n’ roll badasses or something that could be worn by “normies” during Halloween. But times have surely changed—black nails can be worn by anyone, any time of the year, and with any outfit, whether it’s business or party-related. The shade has even won Hollywood over, as celebs like Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Black Lively, and Kendall Kenner have sported black nail polish on the red carpet in recent years. (Meghan Markle also famously wore black nail polish, allegedly breaking royal protocol, and Harry Styles has even sported a black nail or two). 

Because this once-shocking shade is more common these days, it brings along a whole world of possibilities for nail polish lovers everywhere. Aside from a slew of brands offering their own take on the classic shade, you can have your choice in a shiny or matte finish. Better yet, get creative and paint your tips black for a spooky French manicure, or incorporate it in some intricate nail art. Chrome and metallics add a futuristic twist, and glitter options are readily available if you’re feeling festive.

It’s time to put your bright polish shades away and embrace the darkness. Ahead, you’ll find 15 of the best black nail polishes to try right now, from low-cost to luxury options. Keep scrolling!

Dreaming of having nails that resemble the infinite beauty of a starlit sky? Switch up your solid black nails to one with microfine glitter, like this one by Smith & Cult. (It's the exact shade L.A.-based nail artist Betina Goldstein is sporting, above!)
A solid black by a classic nail polish brand like OPI can’t be beaten. Don’t forget to prep with a primer and use a top coat to extend your mani. 
Instantly invoke your inner Morticia Addams with this quick-drying polish. Just apply two coats (no base or topcoat necessary!) and you’ll be ready to go in about a minute. 
Treat yourself to a designer mani and go for this Gucci polish. It’s the ultimate chic shade in a stylish bottle to boot.
If you’re looking for a regular, non-gel nail polish that lasts long, add this Morgan Taylor shade to your cart ASAP. 
A twist on traditional black, this pavement-inspired shade will keep your talons in tip-top shape due to the added jojoba oil, keratin, and vitamin E.
The price of this black Louboutin formula might be the equivalent of 10 reasonably priced polishes, but the bottle and cap (which are inspired by 17th-century European architecture and calligraphy pens, respectively) are a work of art themselves. 
Chipped black nail polish may be somewhat of a symbol of punk rock-cool, but you can always count on Sally Hansen for a long-lasting mani if the whole chipped look isn't your vibe. 
If it’s a gel manicure you want, a good formula that comes in black is Orly’s Liquid Vinyl. Get out your UV lamp and apply this blackout polish the next time you do your nails at home. 
Free of a whopping 16 harmful ingredients, your nails will also be nourished and protected underneath the polish thanks to added biotin complex. 
Matte nails can make black claws look even cooler. It goes on shiny but dries to a flat finish you’ll be obsessed with.
Paint your nails black as night with this easy-to-apply polish. And you can’t beat the price, either!
With tiny specks of gold and silver confetti glitter, this vegan nail polish will make your fingertips feel like a party on any average day. It’s fine on its own, but you can also paint it over your regular black for extra oomph. 
Black nails already bring an aura of mystery, but make it color-shifting polish (especially one that turns from obsidian black to fiery red) and you’ll get hypnotized by your own fingertips!
If it’s shiny, latex-looking nails you crave, this gel polish needs to be on your shopping list. (Go wild and get some PVC pants to match!) Up next, Peep This: 9 Screenshot-Worthy Nail Vibes That Will Reign Supreme This Fall

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
