Ruim

The brush glides on so smoothly that I almost forgot I was doing my own nails, and the black creme dried to a glossy, even finish in one pass. My nails feel hydrated rather than stripped, which is rare for a polish this pigmented—the seaweed extract is clearly doing its job.

The red tea and seaweed extract really do make a difference—my nails feel moisturized even after I removed the polish, which almost never happens. One coat gave me that black crème finish I wanted, and knowing it's 13-free makes me feel better about using it weekly.

The pigment is so deep and glossy in one coat that I barely needed a second pass, and the red tea and seaweed extract left my nails feeling conditioned instead of stripped. Dried down smooth without any smudging even though I’m notoriously impatient.
