Rebel Cute Kuromi Nails for the Goth Kawaii Soul
Kawaii nails are charming, but sometimes we feel rebellious. We want something cute and edgy. That’s when Kuromi nails are perfect! They have a goth vibe that feels so refreshing!
Her name means “black beauty” and she’s the tomboy rebel of the My Melody universe. Mischievous and misunderstood, she is completely relatable to fans. She’s like a dark mirror image of My Melody and quite a contrast to the cheerful pink Hello Kitty.
In the beginning, she was the bad guy. Her role was obvious because of her devil's tail, her angry eyes, and the skull on her forehead. (It's so fun how the skull’s expression changes to match hers). But in later years she mellowed out and made friends at last.
Now with Kuromi nail art, she will start conversations for you. Everyone will want to know where you got those black kawaii nails with the adorable little imp.

How to Do Kuromi Nails
You'll see in this article that there is no single right way to do Kuromi nails. You could sculpt them with acrylics or poly gel. You could paint them with gel polish and cover them in stickers and charms. The one consistent feature would be the color black since that is her shade. But even then, the nails don't need to be all black. That's because Kuromi likes hot pink, too. Although Kuromi acts tough, she's actually very feminine. She loves romance stories, good food, and cooking.

Kuromi Halloween Nails
Did you know that her birthday is Halloween? You could wear these glorious goth nails to celebrate.
If you saw Onegai My Melody, you met Kuromi’s “biker gang”. Her partners in crime included Baku the tapir, Konmi the fox, Wanmi the dog, and Chumi the rat. But her best friend is Nyanmi, a purple cat. And that’s why these nails are purple and black.
If you’re secretly bosozoku, it might be fun to add the other characters or their souped-up tricycles to your Kuromi nails.
Mix and Match Kuromi Nails
Kuromies, let’s dance! Were you part of the video for “Greedy Greedy”?
Sanrio started a campaign to KUROMIfy the World a few years ago. They included fans in the music video for the song and then created a new anime just for Kuromi. Her “Pretty Journey” was a hit and dubbed into multiple languages.
Just like Kuromi’s come from all over the world, these mix and match nails have a lovely variety of patterns. Yin and Yang symbols are especially fitting given the contrasting natures of Kuromi and My Melody.
Spiky Kuromi Nails
Stilettos are a fitting canvas for Kuromi nail art. These are custom-made press-on nails. We bet you could make your own unique Kuromi nail designs using soft gel tips as the base. You wouldn’t have to have experience doing acrylics. Lavis soft gels are pre-shaped to save time, they feel lightweight, and they look surprisingly natural. Plus, durable material is compatible with other systems like dip powder and acrylics, so you have lots of creative flexibility.

Much of the Kuromi nail art we saw is done with acrylics. But we’d like to introduce you to Lavis Poly Extension Gel. It’s pre-mixed into an odorless paste that’s easy to sculpt. There’s no guesswork on how wet the bead should be and no need for monomer or mess. Instead, all you need is slip solution and a brush. Once you’re pleased with your creation, cure it in the nail lamp. Poly gel is excellent for both extensions and 3D nail art.
