Chic Black French Manicure – Best French Manicure Kits in 2020

The classic French manicure has never gone out of fashion. The height of elegance and Parisian chic, they trend every single season. However, never to be outdone by the fast moving nail art fashionistas, the French mani has moved with the times, and this season, the look has been given an edgy twist – the black French manicure.

Matte black nail bed with gloss tips, isolated black tips, checkerboard tips, a minimalist stripe of black across the tips – the list is endless, and I’m trying out the best way of making these designs simple and accessible.

1) Kiss Acrylic French Tip Nails

What Makes it Great

This neat set of pre-designed, reusable black French tip nails is perfect for any occasion. If you’re in a rush, or want to look super glam with minimal effort, these are a must. With 28 nails of differing sizes, you could even mix and match, using traditional tips on some nails, and saving these for a dazzling accent nail. I was pleasantly surprised at how durable these were, and for fake nails, they felt really good and lightweight. They lasted until day 12 when one pinged off – fortunately I was at home and no one saw!

Where it Could be Improved

It might be a nice idea to include a set of blank nails, or some different designs in the same pack.

The Final Verdict

If you’re looking for an unusual French tip set to keep on standby, this is a great choice. Stunning design on nails that are hard wearing and adhere well - what more do you want!

2) AZUREBEAUTY Powder French Manicure – Black

What Makes it Great

This pot of powder is the blackest of blacks, creating deep, light absorbing nails. Whether you choose a matte finish, high gloss, or a mix of the two, the black pigment gives a really professional looking manicure. If you want to do french tips, you need to use an adhesive wrap to mask off the parts your don’t want black, but that’s easily done. With my usual gloss top coat, my nails had only just started lifting on day 19 – very impressive.

Where it Could be Improved

The pot is quite narrow, and the powder can ‘puff’ out of the pot when you are dusting your nails. It’s well worth putting down some paper to catch it.

Easy to apply and lending a lovely sophisticated black to any nails, this powder from Azurebeauty is a great addition to any mani kit.

3) Acmifashion French Manicure Kit

What Makes it Great

This kit from Acmifashion gives you the option of black tips, stilettoes or oval nails. The French tips were really easy to apply, and after a layer or two of top coat, I loved all the compliments I received. Highly durable, they stayed in place for nearly two weeks. I also mixed and matched by using the French tips on alternative nails and oval fulls on the others – even more compliments!

Where it Could be Improved

The plasticy odor was quite strong when I opened the packaging, but it soon faded.

The Final Verdict

A decent kit for following the latest black French mani trend. Good looking, high quality and a piece of cake to apply!
