This edit pulls the darkest end of our gel nail colours range into one place, so it's a good starting point if you know you want something moody but not sure which shade. Black gives you maximum contrast and the sharpest edge; dark brown softens that depth with warmth; dark cherry keeps a hint of red for something glossier; and dark green swaps warmth for a considered, earthy neutral. If you're not sure where to start, black and dark brown are the most versatile for everyday wear.
Styling dark shades across the seasons
These tones lean naturally into autumn and winter, but they work year-round if moody is simply your preference. Pair any of them with gold or metallic accents for evening, or add fine detailing with our nail art for something more elaborate. Worn solo, a dark shade is an easy, dependable everyday look that suits every skin tone and nail length.
