    This is my go-to black polish! I love it. I use one thicker coat and it is perfectly opaque, if you do thinner coats you may need two. It's a jet black, glossy creme and it's super shiny even...

    That's the perfect black polish. It's a true inky black, actually the blackest black I've ever seen. I go it to be completely opaque with one coat only, and dries fast and is easy to clean. I had...

    This is your go to black polish. It is a true glossy black. Applies well reaching full opacity with 2 coats. Super shiny even before applying top coat. Must have!

    Gorgeous black polish. Not red black or brown black, just pure black. Super glossy even without a top coat. This has now become a staple in my collection of Essie polishes and I will definitely...

    This nail polish is amazing. Best black I have ever owned. It's quick to dry and has a glossy finish.

    Omg! One of the best blacks I have ever owned. I love the formula, the brush and the fact that this lasts a full seven days when I use Essie All in One base coat and Seche Vite top coat. Yes I am...

    I can't say anything bad about this polish! It dries quickly, it has a great consistency, and it only needs 2 coats to become opaque. It looks amazing with any skin tone and it lasts a long time....

    I was looking for a black black nail polish - one without glitter, without shimmer, without a red/blue tone. I was about to order an OPI polish when I saw this little bottle of Essie on sale at the...

    First things first, Licorice is a straight-up black. Not black with a brown undertone, not black with a red base, it's just completely black. Needs just 2 coats to reach fully opacity and dries to...

    My FAVORITE black nail polish. Use 2 coats and you're good to go. Also, for a bonus, it's so incredibly shiny, you don't even need a top coat (though I recommend it)

    This is definitely my holy grail black polish. The formula is fantastic! It just takes two coats in order to get full opacity. Great colour for the fall and winter. As well, this colour has really...

    This is a great nail polish. All you need is one coat and it isn't streaky at all. It lasts pretty well on my nails and doesn't chip very easily.

    This is my HG basic black polish. I have about 100 nail polishes, but I usually ALWAYs have black polish on my toes, and I often wear it on my nails. Nothing better than a classic black mani! This...

    I think maybe Essie changed their formula on this after reading earlier reviews. This is definitely NOT sheer. This was almost opaque in one coat and I only needed two coats to achieve complete...
