there's no big deal with black nails i all ways get them and i'm the same age as you and my parents are fine with it i would for get about your cousin and talk to your parents about it and making a lie up like every one wheres it because it make you look slimierr and that it's in right now thats what i would do. hope every things works out    

Answer 5

There's no big deal. I think it's cute, but I'm sure my parents wouldn't be too fond of it only because it's not conventional. Tell them it's JUST nailpolish. It's not even close to permanent--it comes off in just minutes.  

Answer 6

I don't think your fingernail polish is your cousin's business, but I can understand that your mom hates it.  Black fingernail polish was really in about three years ago, but it's out now.  I would give it a rest and wait until it comes back in style.  Trust me, it will.  If you want to wear dark polish, the in colors for fall 2008 are midnight blue and chocolate brown.  The key to wearing very dark polish and looking sophisticated and stylish is by keeping your nails short and rounded.  Long nails and dark polish look really terrible, but when your nails are short and you keep them filed neatly and in a rounded shape, you can get away with just about anything.  

Answer 7

There is no deal. Black nails don't mean your a satan worshiper or gothic or whatever. It is just a color just as any other.

Answer 8

I wear it all the time.  My parents thought the color was a little "satanic" in the beginning but I still wore it.  Now they don't care if I wear it because they know that it's just a color I like to wear.  Honestly who cares what your cousin has to say.  It is your nails and it's not like the black nail polish will change who you are.  Just continue to wear the colors you want, if she has a problem with it then she can look somewhere else.
