I really love holo tacos black because it works great for stamping, as does the royal tea blue. But then again I am biased because it's the only one from this list I've tried and cristine is my absolute favorite UA-camr 😊🥰
Lorienzo, I do have a series on my channel of my favorites of each nail polish color haha :) I already went through the rainbow and now I’m doing other colors like black, grays, whites, neutrals. Etc! The gray video will be coming out on Friday, and it’s divided into cool and warm toned grays.
Blush Lacquer just came out with a collection called "film noir" with all one coat creams including white! I'm super excited to pick it up because I can never find a good white that doesn't look like white out.
@@KelliMarissa Cristine came out with a new white called Not Milky White if you haven't filmed a video comparing white polish I would love to see it included if you have then I can't wait to see another video from you. Also if you could make a video for yellow or orange nail polishI would be happy because yellow and orange are such hard colors to pick when buying polish because they aren't shown much diversity like blues and reds. Also a video on how you choose a polish, is it based on color, formula, what's new, an idea you have for a video, what factors in your picking of a polish?
Will you be doing a favorite golds or silvers? How about toppers - and show us your favorite combos like topper X over black or red or however you like it?
Chris R I have used sinful colors cheap but good polish glitter green ocean over black and other dark color polished and it’s awesome!! Looks like the galaxy... sooo pretty
Chris R also wanted to mention that I do use gold glitter toppers over dark reds as well you can imagine so pretty!!! You just have to experiment that’s half the fun with nail polishes
@@joanshealy1662 I use glitter toppers as well, but there are so many other toppers out there (not glitters) that can totally change the look of a polish. Something that looks like sheer yellow with pink shift on the naked nail could make black polish look like a glowy iridescent purple. Then on a different base color, look totally different again.
Love your content and was really hoping that you included the Holo Taco. So glad that you did, especially being a fan of Cristine and knowing how much work she put unto the collection.
Starilly Vantablack is my fave of all-time. It’s pretty close to perfect IMHO. I had no idea that Salon Perfections was a sister brand of China Glaze, that’s a cool thing to be aware of! Yup, your eyeshadow does look blue, but it looks great. ☺️ I think you should do your favorite white polishes next.
Just wanted to let people know if they're on a really tight budget, Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Black Heart is also a super opaque black that's at Dollarama! It has a thin brush.
Editing to thank JNA for correcting my math! The starrily polish is indeed better value per mL than the holo taco. Please ignore the rest of this comment! ___ Just a note, of the indie polishes, the Holo Taco one is slightly better value per mL ($1.09/mL) than the Starrily ($1.15/mL)
Lots of Essie’s new cream formulas are one coat now which is awesome. I recently purchased a repromoted “Licorice” with a new formula and new wide flat brush and I can confirm in my opinion it’s now a great one coat black.
I buy Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Black Heart at my local Walmart for under $2. It’s a one coat black creme that is the perfect backdrop for my holo top coats.
I love the Salon Perfect black! I’ve probably gone through 5-6 bottles of it. Black is my go to color all year round, Glossy or matte, I just love the way it makes my nails look
I love this series! Would love to see white or gray next, but I'd also like to see one about your favorite neutrals. Thanks for the great videos and recommendations 😊
Painted Polish Midnight Mischief!! PP has a line of one coat creams that are usually called "Stamped in ___" but I think the black was her first one. Also hope you still do a video on your fave black shimmers or glitters! I guess if there's not a lot, you can group them with silver or something haha.
Girl, I love you... your hair, your makeup, your nails, your kindness and personality... Your videos are wicked, and I really enjoy your honesty! Keep rockin' it!!
Who knew black polish could be interesting to watch being swatched. I'd like to see your favourite grey polishes. Love your eye make-up and to me it looks silver/grey/black - gorgeous.
Starilly Vantablack is my favorite black polish! Love the eyeshadow....It is funny because I dont think it looks blue at all, but more of a steel grey.
i just wanted to let you know that this video finally got me to purchase a bunch of polishes from starrily!! i got vantablack, high maintenance, toy story (SUPER excited for this one to do glitter placements with!!), gumball, and then your collab shades! for those i got stargazer, deep space, diamond rain, and and cosmic voyage! i’m so excited to search them all!!
Oh my gosh Misha this makes me so excited!! I bet you're going to LOVE them!!! I have done glitter placement with Toy Story and it's actually insane haha love that one!!!
@@KelliMarissa yes omg!! i love the holo taco one which is my current black of choice but i love the wide flat brush a lot better so i bet with these two i’ll be set!! and omg that makes me so happy to hear the toy story one just looks so cute and gum ball being glow in the dark is soooo cute. that with maybe some flakie holo taco could be such an intense look! i’ll keep you updated too! ❤️
Gotta mention Painted Polish's Midnight Mischief. It's been voted best black creme, best creme and best stamping polish, by the indie community (IndieSwatch Awards) every year now. Everything from Painted Polish is fantastic, but her black creme is one I definitely can't live without!
Those ice cream bottles used to carry lower quality polish at Etude House in Korea hehe nice to see the adorable bottle being used for a high quality polish!
Love that you included price and quantity information this time! If it's not too much trouble, including the price/mL as well would be really helpful. I'd vote for favorite greys next, then favorite whites.
I'll def be including it for future swatch and reviews! For favorites, I do generally like polishes that might not be available from the brands anymore, but i can def start including it in the descriptions of the ones that are still around!
Yay, I've been looking forward to this video, thank you! I'm definitely voting white but grey is good too. I thought your eye make up was blue too, it's very pretty regardless of the "true" color. :)
Cuticula Licorice is awesome as well. I think it's labeled as a stamping polish, but I've used it for a full manicure and it was great. I found it had better coverage than the China Glaze or OPI, which are never one coaters for me
Never clicked so fast on a video! Like, seriously Kelli you're just amazing and you deserve so much more than what you already have! You just deserve the best and I will help you and support you and love you forever ❤ Huge kisses from France 😍🇫🇷 Btw my favourite one coat black nail polish is Essie's Licorice 😘
@@KelliMarissa And you made my day too! Here in France this is the night so I was going to sleep when I saw a notification from your channel so I was like "no time to waste and to sleep, let's just watch this!", and it was as amazing as always ❤
The gel couture line from Essie is my all time favourite formula. They’re BEAUTIFUL. I wish she would do Essie videos. I guess maybe they’re a little more boring than other brands?
I like to use essie's liquorice for putting on black tips, but not much else. it chips super easy and the brushes are super thin. It's definitely a super opaque polish compared to most of their other ones though that need 2-3 coats for me! For the price of Essie polish, I would rather buy something else.
I used to exclusively buy Essie, but their colors aren’t very interesting from collection to collection and I find the coverage to be lacking compared to OPI or other brands. I think they’re a good intro brand, but I’ve grown out of them. They did make the perfect neon purple last summer though, and I literally bought three bottles!
@@katierutthabestest I got this one purple in a neon collection from colour club on clearance and it is fire! It's easily my favorite purple now and I don't even know what it's name is haha. It looks amazing with a matte top coat to boot. Looking at their website, I think it was poptastic collection and the colour is Island vibes? 👌👌👌👌👌either that or disco dress... I wish the bottle had a label on it :(
I love my HT one coat black polish. I will have to try it with some of the new stamping plates I recently picked up! I also picked up Lights Lacquer's new black polish that released today. It claims to be one coat, and I prefer their brush.
I think kelli Mariska is a awesome presenter. She has a easy to listen voice not too loud and comes across as humble and professional yet fun I like the way she shows the swatches and I can see straight away how the Polish behaves which is great I used to get Revlon 60 second brush on nail dry but can no longer get it in nz. Love the presentations love it makes my day.😊🐲🐛
I was just sitting here wondering where the Holo Taco would fall in your list ;) I have that palette too! It's a really cool toned black palette, so maybe that accounts for the blueness? I've only used it once so far because i'm intimidated. i'm LOVING the look you created!
Starrily's Vantablack is my favorite. I haven't had any luck with white polishes, it makes me hesitant to invest in a more expensive indie polish right now so I'd LOVE to see you do a video on them next!
My favorite one-coat black cream polish is Live Love Polish, “Little Black Dress” - it’s perfect in every way - love the rectangular bottle, the brush is great, and the formula is creamy, opaque, and self-leveling. Love it! I haven’t heard you talk about Live Love but their polishes are worth checking out. Specifically, their green glitter polish called Matsu is one of my all time favorites. I think you’d love it!
Ooh thanks for sharing! I haven't tried their polishes before because I've heard that they aren't very kind to nail influencers haha and it makes me not sure how I feel about the brand!
Oh, man. That’s disappointing!! I can’t speak to their take on nail polish influencers but I feel like they should embrace you... your videos have influenced me to buy a ridiculous number of polishes since I found your channel, haha! Even if they’re terrible, it’s still worth ordering Matsu - it is seriously the crown jewel in my 400 bottle collection and I feel like it would be near the top of your list as well. I hope they’re not turds... I love their polish so much!
I love love your videos from your favs, swatches, makeup, to your hair. Oh!!! And your vlogs too!!! You always have great information and a great sense of humor too!!!❤❤🥰🥰❤❤🥰🥰
Please do a specialty black video too. I love black polish with a topper, but it is awesome when the polish is sparkling on its own or has some cool finish.
I looooooove that OPI black onyx polish. I can't agree more that it's a one coater! Probably my favourite black polish. I don't have holo taco one coat black, but if it's ANYTHING like the royaltea blue then I'm sure I will love it! I hope she comes out with a whole rainbow of one coaters because her formula rocks!
Nice to have an overview of good one coat black polishes! Would have been interesting to hear a little bit about drying times of these polishes, to make a decision on which to buy :) (dry to the touch and fully hardened) By the way, I have yet to see a Holo Taco One Coat Black fully swatched. It makes me wonder about the application.. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hey Mariola, I did swatch the Holo Taco black in this video! As far as dry times, it really depends on your locations climate, humidity, and altitude, so it's hard to make a blanket statement about it haha :)
My fav is Essie Licorice and AEngland Camelot lines black. Both are one coaters. I don't find either good for stamping. I use Twinkled_T, Painted Polish and Born Pretty stamping imho work best for me. MoYou is secondary. I wasn't impressed with brand u use. I found the formula thin but I haven't tried them in over 4 years.
I’d love to see you do a video on spring pastels one coat. Ie yellow, blue, green etc. It’s really annoying to have to put the color over white sometimes. Love your videos!
I love the Holo Taco black! I put it on a couple of days ago and it was so pretty, I almost hated to put a magnetic polish on top (especially one that is no longer performing well). I think the eyeshadow looks gray, but all grays have a bluish undertone so it makes sense it leans that way on the spectrum.
I love Salon Perfect's Oil Slick. I use it as my standard for black polish. I consider it and Holo Taco's One Coat Black to be very close. Edit: I think a lot of grayscale shadows tend to lean toward the cool side of things rather than be just a flat gray. That could be why it's a little blue.
No way I am so surprised to learn that you are wearing the black and white colourpop palatte. When I saw you in this video i thought to myself "her blue eye makeup looks so pretty. It matches her hair so nicely." And you look so glam, too 💜 Anyway, love you and many blessings ~Kareesa
Kelli I LOVE LOVE LOVE your make up and your hair!!! Have you ever tried the wet and wild black polish? I'd be interested in what in you think about the brand.
Oooh, I actually have one of these - the China Glaze one! I bought it on special offer for Halloween and I've never used it as my nails have constantly been broken since then and all I have are the fingernails on my little fingers. My nails are very annoying lol.
The majority of my polishes have been OPI until recently. But for some reason Black Onyx and Alpine Snow, which are like the staple black and white, are really tough for me to work with, they just don’t level out nicely when I use them. I like other OPI “whites” but I’m curious to see what your favorites are. Starrily VantaBlack is probably my absolute favorite black one coater and I just ordered their white, hoping the formula is just as good!
Great video . Good to know about so many one coaters...Sally Hansen Black Heart seemed like one coater as well.. And could you please do favorite brown ?
Hi Kelli! Love your blue/grey shadow!! I find these favourites very helpful, cross-brand comparisons are far to rare. I was scouting youtube and found nothing for my search so i will make the suggestion to you. I would love a top matte finishes, cream and glitters video please
I bet you'd like the new blush laquer collection- its all monochrome black/grey/white. I watched pamperedpolishes review it and all of them (except the white) where 1 coaters.
4 years later.... but i just wanna say the eyemakeup is dope. the reason it looks blue is it's a blue-leaning set of greys. i wouldn't have called it a b&w even just looking at your palette. but then i'm really obsessed with color, and years of prismacolor pencils, and markers, and later paint, and i always key into nuance. love the palette. :D
THANK YOU for making this video!!! I LOVE a black polish because I like to do glitter toppers. But I haven't ever found a good 1 coater besides the salon perfect.
Honestly the Sally Hansen hard as nails black from dollarama is $2 and the best one I’ve tried, I wish I could try one coat black from holo taco but it’s so expensive
Live Love Polish’s “LBD” is another fantastic black that’s opaque in one coat. I have both LBD and Holo Taco’s One Coat Black, but I usually reach for LBD because the formula is just as smooth as butter and I love it.
Enjoyed your video as usual. I was surprised that Morgan Taylor’s Little Black Dress wasn’t among your favorites. It’s my hands down favorite when I want a one coat cream that’s easy to work with. 🖤
I'm currently wearing a manicure with China Glaze "Liquid Leather" and "Fast Track," and I completely agree with what you said: awesome polish with awesome coverage. You eyeshadow is reading blue, and I don't think it's your hair. I think the greys in that palette have blue-purple undertones and aren't true greys. Still looks great!
Have you seen the new blush lacquers collection (called film noir)? It’s a monochrome spectrum of creme polishes that look really impressive in terms of coverage in the swatch vids. The black looks great, and it is a wide curved brush.
Lights lacquer just came out with a white and black nail polish today! Is that a brand that you see yourself using in the future? Love your content! ❤️
Liquid Leather was my go to one coat black before I got Pretty Serious' Absence. They had closed for a while but are back. I haven't bought a new bottle of Absence, so I don't know if it's the same, but if you hadn't tried that, it's worth a go.
Sinfulcolors Black on Black is pretty great. Two bucks and it's the perfect thickness and a one coater. Now if only I can find a decent white one coater.
I'm a simple girl, I see Holo Taco I click
Haha it's a good brand. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video 😄
LMAOO
LMAO THAT'S WHY I CLICKED IT TOO
Saaamme
Biss same
I really love holo tacos black because it works great for stamping, as does the royal tea blue. But then again I am biased because it's the only one from this list I've tried and cristine is my absolute favorite UA-camr 😊🥰
Stephanie Martinez sameeeeee
Her nail polish is seriously good. The top coats are amaze balls.
Glad you like that one Stephanie! You should try some of the others if you're up for it, I think you'll like them too :)
@@KelliMarissa I may try some of the cheaper ones because i really don't like spending too much money on nail polish.

I personally really like Essie's licorice. Speaking of Essie... I noticed that you never seem to use any polishes from the brand. Why is that?
maybe its because the brushes are thinner and she likes wider brushes? idk

She has a easy to listen voice not too loud and comes across as humble and professional yet fun I like the way she shows the swatches and I can see straight away how the Polish behaves which is great I used to get Revlon 60 second brush on nail dry but can no longer get it in nz. Love the presentations love it makes my day.😊🐲🐛
I was just sitting here wondering where the Holo Taco would fall in your list ;)
I have that palette too! It's a really cool toned black palette, so maybe that accounts for the blueness? I've only used it once so far because i'm intimidated. i'm LOVING the look you created!
Starrily's Vantablack is my favorite. I haven't had any luck with white polishes, it makes me hesitant to invest in a more expensive indie polish right now so I'd LOVE to see you do a video on them next!
Definitely coming soon!
My favorite one-coat black cream polish is Live Love Polish, “Little Black Dress” - it’s perfect in every way - love the rectangular bottle, the brush is great, and the formula is creamy, opaque, and self-leveling. Love it! I haven’t heard you talk about Live Love but their polishes are worth checking out. Specifically, their green glitter polish called Matsu is one of my all time favorites. I think you’d love it!
Ooh thanks for sharing! I haven't tried their polishes before because I've heard that they aren't very kind to nail influencers haha and it makes me not sure how I feel about the brand!
Oh, man. That’s disappointing!! I can’t speak to their take on nail polish influencers but I feel like they should embrace you... your videos have influenced me to buy a ridiculous number of polishes since I found your channel, haha! Even if they’re terrible, it’s still worth ordering Matsu - it is seriously the crown jewel in my 400 bottle collection and I feel like it would be near the top of your list as well. I hope they’re not turds... I love their polish so much!
I love love your videos from your favs, swatches, makeup, to your hair. Oh!!! And your vlogs too!!! You always have great information and a great sense of humor too!!!❤❤🥰🥰❤❤🥰🥰
I bought my Liquid Leather a few months ago, and it has a wide-ish flat brush.
Yep, beautiful icy blue! Stunning as usual
Oh thank you Michelle :)
Please do a specialty black video too. I love black polish with a topper, but it is awesome when the polish is sparkling on its own or has some cool finish.
Oh yeah special black polishes coming soon!!
I looooooove that OPI black onyx polish. I can't agree more that it's a one coater! Probably my favourite black polish. I don't have holo taco one coat black, but if it's ANYTHING like the royaltea blue then I'm sure I will love it! I hope she comes out with a whole rainbow of one coaters because her formula rocks!
Nice to have an overview of good one coat black polishes! Would have been interesting to hear a little bit about drying times of these polishes, to make a decision on which to buy :) (dry to the touch and fully hardened) By the way, I have yet to see a Holo Taco One Coat Black fully swatched. It makes me wonder about the application.. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hey Mariola, I did swatch the Holo Taco black in this video! As far as dry times, it really depends on your locations climate, humidity, and altitude, so it's hard to make a blanket statement about it haha :)
My fav is Essie Licorice and AEngland Camelot lines black. Both are one coaters. I don't find either good for stamping. I use Twinkled_T, Painted Polish and Born Pretty stamping imho work best for me. MoYou is secondary. I wasn't impressed with brand u use. I found the formula thin but I haven't tried them in over 4 years.
I will say I think Maniology's formula has improved a LOT in the last couple of years for stamping polishes!
I’d love to see you do a video on spring pastels one coat. Ie yellow, blue, green etc. It’s really annoying to have to put the color over white sometimes. Love your videos!
That’s a good video idea!
The algorithm has got ur back right now girl!
Lol
OMG I LOVE THE BLUE HAIR SOOOOO MUCH!!!
Oh thank you so much :)
I have the black from China Glaze. I dont use black very often but love it on others!
I love the Holo Taco black! I put it on a couple of days ago and it was so pretty, I almost hated to put a magnetic polish on top (especially one that is no longer performing well).
I think the eyeshadow looks gray, but all grays have a bluish undertone so it makes sense it leans that way on the spectrum.
Haha sometimes it's hard to put nail art or a topper over such a good creme!
Oh, and yes, favorite whites would be great... favorite toppers, too
Coming soon!!!
I love Salon Perfect's Oil Slick. I use it as my standard for black polish. I consider it and Holo Taco's One Coat Black to be very close.
Edit: I think a lot of grayscale shadows tend to lean toward the cool side of things rather than be just a flat gray. That could be why it's a little blue.
Haha well that would make sense!
No way I am so surprised to learn that you are wearing the black and white colourpop palatte. When I saw you in this video i thought to myself "her blue eye makeup looks so pretty. It matches her hair so nicely." And you look so glam, too 💜
Anyway, love you and many blessings
~Kareesa
Haha isnt it crazy how it changed on my eyes?! Love u too!
I love the black onyx by OPI and your hair is so gorgeous girl, I love it !! You eyes do look blue but it look really good with your hair 😁
I'd love to see the whites and grays next. And your eye makeup is super cute...love it! Thanks for another great video ☺
Oh thank you so much Stacy!
Love the eyeshadow! I was literally JUST typing "Your eyeshadow makes me want to break out my smoke show palette" then you started talking about it!
Haha omg what are the odds! I'm glad you could tell which one I was wearing lol
Kelli I LOVE LOVE LOVE your make up and your hair!!! Have you ever tried the wet and wild black polish? I'd be interested in what in you think about the brand.
Wet n wild was the closest I could get to one coat, but I wouldn't pick it up again after finding a real one coat black. Good for the price though!
I haven't! But I'l give it a shot!
Oooh your make up is to cool!! And your top and your hair🤣🤣🤣 and your necklaces You knock it out of the park today!!!!
Oh gosh thank you so much haha
I've got Orly Liquid Vinyl (discounted at TJ Maxx) + China Glaze Fairy Dust (from Sally Beauty) on my nails right now, and I love my mani!
Oooh, I actually have one of these - the China Glaze one! I bought it on special offer for Halloween and I've never used it as my nails have constantly been broken since then and all I have are the fingernails on my little fingers. My nails are very annoying lol.
Omg you gotta try it! And maybe some strengthener haha
The majority of my polishes have been OPI until recently. But for some reason Black Onyx and Alpine Snow, which are like the staple black and white, are really tough for me to work with, they just don’t level out nicely when I use them. I like other OPI “whites” but I’m curious to see what your favorites are.
Starrily VantaBlack is probably my absolute favorite black one coater and I just ordered their white, hoping the formula is just as good!
Great video . Good to know about so many one coaters...Sally Hansen Black Heart seemed like one coater as well..
And could you please do favorite brown ?
Hi Kelli! Love your blue/grey shadow!! I find these favourites very helpful, cross-brand comparisons are far to rare. I was scouting youtube and found nothing for my search so i will make the suggestion to you. I would love a top matte finishes, cream and glitters video please
I can definitely do that!
Moon Shine Mani Noir is a great one coat black.
Ooh I've never even heard of the brand but I'll check it out!
It is an I die brand made by Phoebe Moon on UA-cam. She does amazing stuff!
My favorite black nail polish is L.A Colors Color Last in Onyx. It’s a one coater for me and it’s only like $2 at Walmart!
A couple people mentioned it as a holy grail - I'm gonna have to try it!
I bet you'd like the new blush laquer collection- its all monochrome black/grey/white. I watched pamperedpolishes review it and all of them (except the white) where 1 coaters.
I love colourpop but I was thinking you had blue eye shadow as well!
4 years later.... but i just wanna say the eyemakeup is dope. the reason it looks blue is it's a blue-leaning set of greys. i wouldn't have called it a b&w even just looking at your palette. but then i'm really obsessed with color, and years of prismacolor pencils, and markers, and later paint, and i always key into nuance. love the palette. :D
Please do your favorite whites. I can't find a decent white to save my life. Loved this video. 😊
Ooh I've got some good ones to share!!
Would love to see you swatch-and-review ILNP and FUN Lacquer 😍
Jenny Schumacher yes i support that, I love love love ILNP, it’s my fav brand with cirque colors
I love ILNP too, would love to see Kelli review them
Coming soon :)
THANK YOU for making this video!!! I LOVE a black polish because I like to do glitter toppers. But I haven't ever found a good 1 coater besides the salon perfect.
Oh man well I do love the SP one but I hope this helps ya find more haha!
You just gave me the nudge I needed to try out Starily. I'm willing to invest a little more into a good black because it's such a staple for me.
I have one by essence which is insanely good and just €1.69 😍✨
Ooh I still haven't tried their polishes!!
Kelli Marissa they’re really nice, especially for the price! I managed to pick up a lot of them for 1.25$! Plus I like the wider flat & round brush
@@Amsayy oooh that's an even better price 👏🏻 Nice!
Honestly the Sally Hansen hard as nails black from dollarama is $2 and the best one I’ve tried, I wish I could try one coat black from holo taco but it’s so expensive
I gotta give that one a shot!
Can you please do a favorite one coater video with the colors of the rainbow?
Live Love Polish’s “LBD” is another fantastic black that’s opaque in one coat. I have both LBD and Holo Taco’s One Coat Black, but I usually reach for LBD because the formula is just as smooth as butter and I love it.
Enjoyed your video as usual. I was surprised that Morgan Taylor’s Little Black Dress wasn’t among your favorites. It’s my hands down favorite when I want a one coat cream that’s easy to work with. 🖤
I've never tried that one!
Kelli Marissa you should give it a try! 😊
I'm currently wearing a manicure with China Glaze "Liquid Leather" and "Fast Track," and I completely agree with what you said: awesome polish with awesome coverage.
You eyeshadow is reading blue, and I don't think it's your hair. I think the greys in that palette have blue-purple undertones and aren't true greys. Still looks great!
Haha that makes sense! Thank you!
Wow never thought an OPI could get that concentrated, I need to update my collection to finally get a one coat black!
Oh yes a one coat black is always a game changer!!
Yaaaasssss been waiting forever for this.
Have you seen the new blush lacquers collection (called film noir)? It’s a monochrome spectrum of creme polishes that look really impressive in terms of coverage in the swatch vids. The black looks great, and it is a wide curved brush.
I absolutely love your eye shadow! Please do a tutorial for it!
Oh thank you :)
Perfect timing...I just started looking for the perfect black polish. Thanks!!!
Always happy to help :)
Lights lacquer just came out with a white and black nail polish today! Is that a brand that you see yourself using in the future? Love your content! ❤️
Liquid Leather was my go to one coat black before I got Pretty Serious' Absence. They had closed for a while but are back. I haven't bought a new bottle of Absence, so I don't know if it's the same, but if you hadn't tried that, it's worth a go.
Oh I have that one! I didn't realize they reopened, actually!
Love the eyes!!! I thought your eye look was blue too until you said it. I love your hair that color too. Those are some great black nail polishes!!!!
Haha it's wild how it changed on my eyes!
Sinfulcolors Black on Black is pretty great. Two bucks and it's the perfect thickness and a one coater. Now if only I can find a decent white one coater.
Idk why I haven't tried that one but I need it!!
i really like the L.A colors black (that i can't remember the name of) its surprisingly a one coat color :)
Ooh I wanna try it! LA Colors is so good sometimes.
Live Love Polish LBD is perfect for me.
