Going Goth: Black nails are the new buff

Whether you're uptown, downtown or small town, black nails are a fall beauty must-have. A step up the goth-o-meter from last fall's deep chocolate nail, jet black, black blue and black purple polish haven't been this popular since the early 1990's when Chanel kicked off the trend with their Vamp nail polish. Now, Chanel's newest must-have polish, Black Satin, which they introduced in late July, is experiencing waiting lists comparable to a Hermes Birkin Bag. The New York Times reported on the trend last week, citing OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark, shu uemura’s ME083, OPI’s Black Onyx and Essie’s Wicked as the current must-have shades. My personal favorite darkside polishes are Deborah Lippmann Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Sephora's Nail Polish 12, which, unsurprisingly, is temporarily out of stock. Who would have guessed that a $4 bottle of nail polish would have a waiting list? Take that, Birkin.
