Frenemies

I was nervous a black jelly would look streaky, but the sheer finish layers so smoothly that two coats give this soft, smoky depth. It's like wearing a stained-glass window on your nails, and the buildable coverage makes it super forgiving even when I rush.

Three coats and it's the perfect see-through black — like stained glass for your nails. The jelly finish is way more forgiving than a solid black, so no streaks even when I rushed the second coat.

I’m usually wary of black polishes because they dry patchy on me, but the jelly formula here is so forgiving—three thin layers and it’s a deep, glassy black that still lets a hint of my nail show through. Builds exactly as promised.
