Goth Nails
Goth nails are a manicure built on the goth aesthetic - high-pigment black, deep oxblood or wine, finished matte or high-shine, sometimes with silver hardware or gothic motifs. On press-ons the moody base is printed so the look stays crisp; a thin gothic French tip or a single silver stud softens it into 'soft goth'.

How to get the look
Pick a press-on set in high-pigment matte or glossy black, or a deep oxblood or wine. For soft-goth add a single silver stud or a thin gothic French tip in black over a bare base.
How to wear
Pair goth press-ons with silver rings and black knitwear or leather. The look reads edgy for concert and night-out yet stays clean enough short for the office.
