Black Cherry Nails
A near-black red carrying a cold blue-wine undertone, so the nail reads as black in shade and releases its redness only under direct light. It is cooler and bluer than oxblood, darker and less brown than burgundy, and redder than plum noir, and the high-gloss finish is part of the definition rather than an optional extra.
