Something typical would be Orly Sea Spray, a cream with a pink shimmer, or for something darker something like a black jelly polish like Miss Sporty Goth Me Black.
I find inspiration everywhere for nails and so finding it in fashion isn't something new. The particular inspiration I used was a dress from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014, and a Lela Rose dress.

Firstly a quick skittle set of nails to show the top coat over a range of shades. The concept behind this goth me up top coat is to darken things down and tone down neons and bright polishes.
The polish itself is a thin, almost watery black polish. Difficult to work with and particularly streaky.
