Start out with a super dark purple, burgundy, or navy. Let them get used to it. You could even try doing your nails in pink or red and just do the tips in black, and see how they feel about that.

Sometimes it's hard for people not to associate black with goth... but just work on convincing them that black is only a color and it shouldn't be associated with any one style.

Tell them that your friends wear black nail polish, as well as celebrities and models in magazines. Say that you understand their concerns over you looking gothic, but explain to them how that is the opposite of your style. Try showing them some images of Lauren Conrad wearing black nail polish, and they will surely be able to see for themselves that she is nowhere near gothic. If all else fails, sneak the nail varnish out with you and apply it when you're out of their sight, but remember to bring some nail varnish remover as well!

So the only reason you want to wear black nailpolish is only because everyone else is doing it? How bout not being a sheep and take the lead, start a new trend in nail polish colors. Do what YOU like, and not what everyone else THINKS they like. Its not fulfilling. Have a little confidence in yourself and your own abilities to throw on some colors that you think should be the next big things, be a true fashionista.

Maybe some royal blues or deep purples for example. Or heck, throw caution to the wind and mix some colors and styles up. Thats real confidence. People may question you at first but at the end of the day, the rest of them are sheep and will eventually fall in line if you have the confidence of a leader.

Tell them that it's just for a certain school day and then maybe they'll say okay. then keep wearing it until they notice...unless your parents are more alert than mine.

you remind me of my little cousin
she is begging her mom to get black nails but shes only 7
and her mom basically said okay if she was good
you can maybe bargain with them or something being more responsible
