I know we write about different nail trends weekly, but sometimes, you can't go wrong with a glossy black hue. While this can be a bit of a love-hate shade, there's really no denying how chic it is for this time of year. One look at Instagram and you'll notice all of the top nail artists leaning into the ebony nail trend at the moment.
The great thing about this trend is that it's not just strictly black. In fact, this nail look can feature dark brown or grey undertones. Below, I've rounded up some of the best ebony nail looks that will see you through autumn and winter, and trust me when I say that they are not to be missed.
No matter what your nail shape, this nail colour immediately elevates your manicure thanks to the rich shade and impossibly shiny finish. It's easily one of this season's most expensive-looking nail trends, and I do not doubt that it will be huge this winter. So, what are you waiting for? Keep on scrolling for some of my favourite ebony nail looks to take to the salon.
