First things first – why black and silver?

Black is one of the most popular nail polish choices as it gives you a neutral base that’s perfect to pair with any outfit or fit any occasion. Black looks perfect with nearly any nail shape, so you can create a beautiful manicure both for short natural nails, long coffin nails and everything in between.

While silver nail polish is often used in holiday manicures, but also popular for New Year looks, it’s a must-have if you’re attending a party or a special occasion. When combined with the black base color, the silver really pops and gives your nails that extra sparkle.
