Metallic black really suits you - definitely get the mum in law to try it too! I do think black nails can be very elegant I used to paint mine black (and all sorts of artistic designs) in my teenage years. I no longer have time to do it though...
Nice ring too by the way ;) I also have a very similar one!
Lol, that was me when I was 15! Used to drive mum nutty spending hours practising, but I soon got used to it. It's too expensive visiting nail salons.
Dark varnish will stain your nails if left on for long. So if you're trying to cover effects of treatment, be aware that just wearing the dark varnish will discolour the nails, unless you use a base prep coat first. Sometimes even that doesn't work.
You could google nail varnish corrector pens, I believe they are useful for removing little mistakes. Of course, I don't need them these days. :)
Try not to varnish the cuticles, as the nails grow the varnish can stretch them a bit. Hopefully your mother-in-law will give hands on advice.

Good tips there. I've always bitten my nails due to anxiety but it stopped when I got the cancer diagnosis, so my nail care experience is non-existent!
I do like the dark, I'd never be a pale or pretty colour girl anyway and I think having such pale skin helps too.
Going to look into the pen idea! I did put a clear coat on underneath so hopefully that will work as a base coat. Glad I'm ambidextrous or it would all have been worse I'm sure :D
Thanks for the tips on my very 'superficial' cancer-related problem!
You're welcome. Anything that makes you feel even a teeny bit better is worthwhile. I'm ambidextrous these days, partly thanks to annoying my mum all those years ago.
