Channel your inner Wednesday Addams, with these black nail trends that are to die for.
Wednesday has been the hottest show on Netflix for this year and we’ve seen her rock some of the coolest nail styles throughout the series.
Winter is also at its peak, and what better than to show off black nails than channeling the coolest character of 2023, Wednesday Addams?
Black nails are all over Sydney and Melbourne right now.
Here are some of the best black nail ideas to try this winter.
Checkerboard nails
No longer restricted to board games or the famous Vans pattern, the checkboard nail has been a trend for the past few years and is still something to try.
To achieve this look, at Bondi Beauty, we recommend investing in nail art tools, brushes, and press-on nails. The best part about checkerboard nails is that you can experiment with style. Try painting your whole nail or even checkboard French tips.

3D Black nails
One of the hottest trends at the moment is 3D nails, and what better to achieve the trendy Wednesday Addams vibes than 3D black nails? This technique often requires stick-on acrylic nails or professional work to keep your nails safe and healthy from harsh chemicals used to achieve the look. Start with a clear coat and apply some edgy black details or even a black base with silver accents like the picture below.

Aura nails
A similar process to achieving that ombrè nail, the aura nails, is simply applying a slight drop in a circular shape and pressing down gently onto each nail. Go for either a simple black colour or even a black metallic as the base coat, and pair it with a colour of your choice to give the appearance of an aura.

Black and Silver Stars nails
What better colour to pair with black than traditional silver which is the hottest colour in Europe right now? Nail art and graphics are rising in popularity, and stars are classics that will stay stylish forever.
At Bondi Beauty, we recommend starting with a black base and using a nail brush to paint a silver star over most of the nails. We wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Jenna Ortega style these in the next season of Wednesday.

Black French tip
Returning to the traditional nail art routes, black French tip is a chic take on Wednesday Addams-inspired nails.
This is one of the most classic nail ideas you could try. It is cool, stylish and straightforward. If a traditional French tip is your usual choice at the nail salon, here is a simple way to elevate your nail look by just swapping the white French out for a black colour.

Rhinestone black
Rhinestone black is as simple as plain black nail polish, but it helps elevate any nail look by adding rhinestones.
There are different ways to achieve this stunning look. Add one simple rhinestone to the top of each nail for the simplest of looks. Or even a line of rhinestones down the nail is a chic way of achieving this look.

Celestial nails
With either a black base or black accessories, the hottest nails of 2023 are celestial nails. Accessories a base of your choice with black nail stickers in the shapes of sparkles, stars and moons. This is one of the easiest to achieve at home; all you need is a base, star nail stickers, and a topcoat, and you’re done.

Matte black
Matte black nails will never go out of style. Matte black is the perfect choice for making an edgy, moody, trendy statement. It has been a nail trend for years and is still a vibe.
Matte black is a versatile nail look; you can do fully matte black, half matte, half shiny or even any previous looks changing the polished base to matte black. It’s the perfect base for other trendy nail designs but still perfect by itself.
