Nykaa Pop Nail Enamel - Black Licorice No.84 Swatch & Review

Nykaa Black Licorice - 2 coats, no top coat

 Nykaa Black Licorice is a glossy black polish. The bottle says it holds 10ml polish, but the Nykaa website says 9ml. I use this polish very often as a base to layer sheer colours over. I must apologize for the uneven application, but since I was going to be painting over this with another shade, I wasn't too concerned about a perfect finish.

I'm on my second bottle of this polish and it does hold up quite well compared to other black polishes within the same price range.
