I don't think it works on me either, I have longer-than-average nails and haven't found a great black polish yet... but I love how it looks on some! It definitely can look trashy though; I wonder how it'd look if done at a salon.
On the average (looking back), I guess I wear black nail polish on my feet about twice a year. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Red = about a quarter of a year... Neutral shades = about half the time
I went thru a black polish phase this fall/winter. I like it. I think its different & I do it when I want a change. Usually I have French on & sometimes I get tired of it & I'll do the black. Cuz I'm a rebel like that.
I like black polish because it works with my look and attitude.
I don't like it on that girls that wear it only because it's "trendy", you know that girls all dressed in pink and "girly" things with black nails that completely clash with their look, but hey, everyone can do wathever they want

I love dark nail polish. Right now I have on a very deep purple/almost black. I think the key is to make it look really glamorous as opposed to 'I just threw this on two months ago and still haven't fixed it'. I think it looks great with lots of top coat for a really glossy finish and perfectly shaped and manicured nails.I actually like wearing black polish with more girlie/classy outfits, it makes everything a little more edgy. Very glam-rock to me
