I like it, especially in the Fall!

My fav shades are Revlon "French Roast"

I love brown nail polish, whether it’s cool, warm, nude

it looks so pretty. I think it’s the color I will get on my real nails once I’m done growing them out

@Be_Yourself_24 This is my favorite...I have quite a few to add:

OPI
San-Tan Tonio

Zoya
*They released Naturel collections I think 2013-2015 so there's a lot of Black girl friendly polishes in these collections. I think Zoya does the best true browns that look great with melanin!

Zoya Flynn (couldn't find a DS swatch)

Oooooh I’m doing Cocoa Karma definitely in the fall. Would be cute with some gold crystals or decals!

My fav nail color (can't find a brown hand with this color)

I tried lighter browns but it freaked me out cause when it's close to my own skin color it looks like you have no nail at all lol
I was just about to say the same thing! I LIVE FOR nudes and pastel/baby pink, but when the nude is too neutral or matches the skin I hate how it looks like no nails. Lol

Any brown make up doesn't look good on me because it just blends. Whether it's brown lipstick or polish. It has to be a deep brown or brownish pink for me to rock it.

I personally don't like dark color nail polish on me. I prefer wear bright or light colors because I like the contrast look.

I think darker browns/burgundys/greys look best on black women. Any lighter and it won't look like you have any nail polish.

I have OPI Chocolate Moose but I really want to try a dark brown shade

NL_C89_532x700.jpg
I just wanted to comeback in and say thank you for this recommendation. I was in store today browsing, not looking for polish but I remembered this thread so I started looking at the OPI polishes and they had 2 bottles of the chocolate moose. My initial thought was that it was too dark but I purchased it anyway. It is a gorgeous color and not too dark at all.
Now I need to write down all of the other suggestions in this thread and be on the lookout for them also

I like brown nail polish to perfectly match my skin tone, but it's hard to find without testing them. Most nail polish companies lack brown flesh tones like they do for other makeup.

I love this thread! I want to add some browns I found. It is hard for me to find nail swatches with black hands. So most of these girls hands will be white or asian.

I just did my nails with Zoya Flynn. It is one of my favorite nudes. I think I'll be revisiting many of my nudes and chocolate brown colors this fall.
