Nail polish is essie – wicked
I wear this color all fall and winter and stop over spring and summer. I got 2 manicures out of this this fall. So I'd say 6 and a half months of consistent use, but the bottle is a year old. weekly nails, monthly toes.
It would be impossible to finish a nail polish like this without a nail polish thinner (i use orly), the formula is already so thick to begin with. But even with its thick consistency, it's streaky without 2 coats.
I wanted to see what it would be like to 100% finish up a bottle – and I watch alot of nail polish restore videos on tiktok from vintage_dusties – i used at least 40 drops of thinner and turned the bottle upside down so I could dissolve the nail polish dried on the brush lid. This is a tedious as hell thing to do. Never again.
I love this color so freaking much because it's almost black but not and for that reason I would rp even though the formula isn't great but I was given Chanel rouge noir as a gift.
