Perfect light grey colour, applies easily, nice finish ..💫

Highly pigmented nail varnish, drys quickly and it has lasted well over a week with no chipping or peeling. I have found my new favourite nail polish product! The photo is 1 week after application

I love black nail polish but the only issue it’s the worse colour when it chips because it so obvious on your hands. I have used this brand for a long time and the coverage was great and the colour was perfect but even with the top coat that I brought it did chip quickly it may be a me problem as I’m always using my hands but I do love it.

I really like this Essie nail polish in Licorice, but it does have its limitations. Full disclosure, the first night I wore it, I was in a rush, and I only applied it in a single layer, with no base coat or top coat. It was very easy to apply, and the brush was good enough to do the 3 stroke application. It dried quickly, and looked good with a touch of gloss, but it chipped slightly before I even got to the venue. I removed it the next morning and it was tricky to remove, as the nail polish remover just seemed to move it around the nail, even though I used my tried and tested method of a cotton wool pad soaked in remover placed over the nail, press down for a few seconds, and then slide away, taking the polish with it. It took three tries per nail to remove most of the single layer of polish, and it did stain my nails to a greyish colour, but I can't complain about that, as it was my choice not to use a base coat, and the staining disappeared after a normal day of hand washing and washing up. The second time I used it, I used both base and top coat, which did give it a high level of shine. It chipped by day 2, and it was so bad by day 3 that I had to remove it. Again, it was tricky to remove, and there was some faint staining. That said, I would buy it again, knowing that I could only wear it for a night out, or a couple of days. I really like the depth of black, and for me, it’s worth that extra bit of hassle.

Perfect light grey color, doesn't chip, will definitely order again

Polish quality is great from Essie as always, consistent salon quality polish, always lasts and looks great. The colour however for this one.. defo serving me grey, not pale green vibe.. gorgeous still, nice grey look, but not green tone at all imo.

easy to apply, long lasting, black polish. works best with base and top coat.
