essie Nail Polish, Glossy Shine Finish, Belugaria, 0.46 fl. oz.

You really should rename this polish to Asphalt or something, because the bad reviews on this polish are not warranted. I think people are buying this not knowing it's supposed to be textured. I think it looks awesome! It looks just like black asphalt. I'm about to buy three more bottles of this in case they stop making it. Love it love it love it! My photo does not do it justice, I cant get good lighting on it today because it is stormy outside but trust me, it is so pretty and punk rock

Looks like wet asphalt! Beautifully ugly!

The Nail polish is wrong, it should look really cool but there’s something wrong with this polish that’s giving it a chunky gritty clumpy feeling and appearance. Do yourself a favor, if you want this effect buy a good black and a bottle of Sally Hanson snow globe (if you can find it. Same look, no grit. Be warned, snow globe is a pain to take off. The photos in the other reviews are accurate. It’s bad polish. The one on the left is the one advertised and the one on the right is my diy version

I love this color. It's so happy and sparkly and shimmery. It's like a lovely shade of sunshine. I would buy this again.

Pretty color!

This polish on its own is not glossy, so the title can be a little misleading. I just LOVE how it is so different. It’s versatile. you can pair it with a black undercoat for a smoother look. Or just layer on two coats for a chippy edgey look. It can be matte looking if you leave off a top coat, but be warned this only lasts a few days before it chips off. If you add a top coat it is glossier and more subtle and lasts longer. A base coat also extends the length you can wear it, depending on your nail type. I love a dark black look on my nails. This one did not disappoint.

I love Essie polish, it's my go to brand. I don't think they have a single color that I don't love. This is a cool gold/bronze, it looks exactly as pictured here. Update: The color is Amazing but one huge huge drawback...it is incredibly difficult to remove. For some reason this particular color is very stubborn and I am having a heck of a time trying to remove it. Very disappointing.

This polish is gorgeous! I tend to go for darker colors, but I'm always worried that the glittery ones will make me look like I'm trying too hard to look younger than I am! This one just looks classicly beautiful! It's got enough shimmer to be fun and not a "scary" matte black...not that that's scary to me. I just love it and think it's perfect for holiday partys! If you're not familiar with Essie in general, they have great quality polish. I put them in the same category as OPI and China Glaze...when you get fresh ones of any of them! That's often the problem with getting nail polish online. You end up getting last year's or older, and they just don't hold up that well. This seller and this particular polish is fresh and legit. I'll try to get some pictures up for you. The pictures the seller has up are pretty accurate.
