This bottle, when you look at it, presents itself as your average glittery gray/black bottle of polish, BUT IT IS SO MUCH COOLER THAN THAT.
This is the aptly named “Black Magic Woman” because trust me when I say that this is sorcery in a nail polish formula. It initially comes off as a dark gunmetal grey but then light hits it and let me tell you, it comes to LIFE. It shimmers with an opalescent beauty that shows off all the colors of the rainbow. It’s like a very low key holographic effect that doesn’t demand your attention, but when you see it you won’t be able to take your eyes off of it.
I can’t explain to you how much of a bummer it is that the effect doesn’t properly show up in pictures. I can promise you that in actual life, the shimmer is simply prismatic, like dark faeries should be flying over them.
See, this nail polish has me actually waxing poetic right now. Promise me when I say it is much more stunning than it seems, and everyone who notices my nails compliments them. It’s, as the name implies, black magic.

Wow, this colour is amazing!
Isn’t it absolutely brilliant?
It’s a gorgeous colour, regardless of whether the camera can capture all its shimmery glory or not.
I think so too. It’s cool because you think it’s just a glittery black and the BAM, rainbows jump out at you!
