Almost black but not quite
"Love the effect of this color. Admittedly if application isn’t perfect (for me definitely not), you can really see the purple come through in the smudges/thin spots."
Step 1: Nail Prep
Remove oils and lotions by scrubbing each nail with a lint-free pad soaked in Nail Prep.
Tip: Always use a new pad for each hand.
Step 2: Base Coat
Apply two coats to each nail, allowing each layer to dry.
Tip: if cloudy or jelly-like, place the bottle in 1 inch of hot water until clear. Use ¾ inch for Minis. *Do not microwave or fully submerge.*
Step 3: Lacquer
Apply two coats of your favorite color, allowing each to dry.
Step 4: Top Coat
Apply one layer to each nail after the Lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes. Your manicure is done!
+ Revive
Add Revive to thickened Nail Lacquer, Top Coat, or Transform.
Tip: Use 6–8 drops for Full-size, 3–4 for mini-size bottles.
Important: Do NOT add to Base Coat—it will damage the product.

"super cute color for pale skin!!! I can’t wear black since it washes me out, this is the perfect replacement for black on pale skin!!"
"I love this color, deep red that's not quite black, but close. As all dark colors, a bit of a challenge to paint within the lines, but worth the patience. Wears well through the week."
"So Vampy! Dark polish also has some color depth for interest. so glad DD is making these classic shades in their formula so that I don't have to use gel to get a quality no chip dark polish to stay on for 2 weeks."

"This color is beautiful. Very dark purple almost black."
