The colour is really pretty and opaque. In only one coat it looks so good and really shiny. The end effect is really nice!
Weakest points
Takes longer to dry as it is much thicker and even when it has dried, if you push your nail into it, it leaves a dent easily. It also doesn't last very long either.

A small bottle - great if you like to experiment with lots of colours. Highly affordable. A pretty, deep blue polish that gives a shine that's usually only found with metallic polishes. Long-lasting. Doesn't easily chip.
Weakest points
More blueberry than blackberry.
Summary
A lovely deep blue nail polish that gives a glossy, shiny finish.

I feel like it would be opaque in one coat if it wasnt an off cream colour.
I will update once ive tried some other colours.
