The latest news out of The United States has everything to do with the hottest fashion trend at the moment! When Chanel launched their Black Satin nail polish last year, it became a fast favourite under young Hollywood celebrities. Soon, Chanel executives said, it was selling a thousand bottles a week and according to Dominique Moncourtois, Chanel’s international director of makeup creation, stock was sold out in four weeks in the United States. Thus, the beginning of the black nail fashion movement!

So you want that look as well? Once a style staple of Goth kids and grunge rockers, black nail polish is back in a big way - and it's perfect for showing off some edgy sophistication. Classically chic, black nail polish has a long association with revolt. The end of the '60s brought black nails to London via Biba boutique. Later, punk, Goth and glam-rock adopted the trend as an anti-establishment statement. In the '90s, it surfaced once again to epitomize the spirit of grunge fashion.

This year, the hottest winter accessory in South Africa will be black nails, and it’s never been simpler to sport those perfectly manicured black nails, without the fuss. How? With Kiss Nails’s artificial black nail enhancements. Black nails look best worn short, and the Kiss Black Nail enhancements are trimmed short, slightly rounded and varnished for that perfect look. The full-colour tips are applied to your entire natural nail for a complete nail transformation. No more inconsistent, stripy paint that run onto your cuticles or that can chip – with nail enhancements, you get that perfect black nail polished look – instantly!

Wayne Gardner, spokesperson for Kiss Nails, says, “This trend is really hot and most of the stores we supply products to, have requested thousands of black nail units. There are many benefits to nail enhancements, including that they are more durable then natural nails, and it's rare for a Kiss Nail to break because it has been designed to work with your nail. We have no doubt that thousands of women this winter will be sporting Kiss’s black nails.”

Indeed, if International fashion trends are anything to go by, black nails appear to be growing in popularity with young professional women who are daring enough to wear it to work, and it is the epitome of chic for night events. According to fashion experts, black is the new neutral.
