Lakrids

The brush applies so smoothly that two thin coats give a perfect, glossy black. I love that it's vegan and bio-sourced, which makes it feel like a healthier choice without compromising on that deep, chic finish.

I was a bit worried black would look harsh on me, but this one reads as genuinely chic instead of costumey. The vegan, bio-sourced formula glides on evenly and dries to a deep, sophisticated shine that lasts through a week of dishwashing.

Two coats and my nails look like polished obsidian — the depth is unreal for a black polish. I’ve worn it three days without a chip, and the fact that it’s vegan and bio-sourced makes me feel a little less guilty about the whole ritual.
