Was looking for a great black polish and decided to try this. I usually read reviews before I purchase a product but I didn't read a review on this before I bought it. Anyway, I see almost everyone...

I love this color! Can't understand the low ratings. Yes, it's jelly-ish so you need 2-3 coats to get solid black but then it's a glossy, juicy black, not flat like the really opaque ones. Love it.

love their bottles, so sleek and fresh, this nail polish lasts a long time and is very shiny with just 1 coat, no need for a top coat.

I was really intrigued by the reviews that say this is a sheer black. I had never seen such a thing, so I had to check it out. At one coat, this will NOT go on without looking awful, so the whole...

I read about this shade in a magazine last year. Makeup icon Bobbi Brown listed it as her favorite polish. If I'm not mistaken, Rachel Zoe may have also said this was a favorite. A salesgirl told...

People who are trying to use this as a solid black -- you're missin' out.<br> Layer it over a rich shimmer like essie aruba blue or a metallic red or glittery silver and BE AMAZED. It works for...

Ick. Took me 4+ coats the first time I applied to get a black finish. It goes on uneven and due to the amount of coats you need it takes forever to dry. It doesn't thicken up to a better...

Grey? Sheer?.... hmm, I don't get that. Essie's formula has been known to be a little thinner than other brands, but this dark color covers much easier than the lighter shades. "Licorice" dries to...

Will not repurchase. I was expecting a lot more from this, but found it no better than $1 nail colours. Very sheer, takes many layers to become opaque, takes AGES to dry and began to chip in no...

I really liked how it didn't chip for over a week. I had to put 2-3 coats, but that's no big deal. It's a VERY shiny black, at times I thought I could see my reflection in it. I love it!

Before we go on, two things must be acknowledged: Essies are generally sheer, and this <i>is</i> a black creme. That's it, a black creme, and that is all you should expect. Now, the first coat of...
