Many doubts often arise when dressing and creating combinations with accessories, nail art and makeup. Want to know which nail polish color to wear with a black dress? We prepared an article on the subject, with tips and 20 photos to serve as inspiration! Feel free to test different suggestions until you find your favorites!
What color nail polish goes with a black dress?
Black is neutral, which makes it easily combined with any other color. Therefore, the black dress can be accompanied by any nail polish, without any complications. A little black dress – whether basic or not – is really a wardrobe staple.
What you should keep in mind is that, because it is dark, it ends up highlighting light, warm and vibrant nail polishes due to the contrast. In this case, the darker and closed ones are more discreet due to the clothing.
The important thing is that you feel beautiful and confident with the result. Leave aside the idea of rules and trends and think about what is good for you. Try different combinations, let your creativity speak louder, always respecting your personal style.
Light nail polish to contrast with a black dress
Light tones are on the list of the most discreet. But the contrast with the black clothes makes them stand out. Among the wild choices are white, nude (a tone close to each person’s skin) and pink. It’s also worth choosing light shades of other colors, such as blue, green and lilac.
The application can be traditional, with all nails having the same nail polish, or different, playing with color combinations and nail art techniques. See some ideas:

Nude nail polish is another wild card. It is the name given to the tone similar to that of the skin and, therefore, varies for each person.
The francesinha has white tips with creamy glaze and the rest is transparent white. To do it at home, paint the entire nail and wait for it to dry completely. Then, dip a fine brush in the nail polish and paint just the tip, very calmly.

Dark nail polish to wear with a black dress
Dark nail polishes with closed tones tend to be closer to black, creating a tone-on-tone effect. The most open ones can create a lot of contrast and draw a lot of attention, as with red, for example.
When choosing a color, think about your favorites and the ones you would really like to try. Trends don’t always match our personal style. Check out some suggestions:
