There’s something timeless about black nails. They look amazing in the summer heat when paired with a sun-kissed glow and statement pieces of jewelry. This look is easy to wear, even for those who prefer a minimalist approach. Pair black nails with a neutral outfit for an effortlessly chic vibe. A bold lip color or eye makeup can really make the nails pop, but this look works just as well on its own.

What you’ll need
- Base coat
