OPI Nail Lacquer Trio Set, Black Onyx

Ah, black nail polish – the go-to shade for anyone who's ever considered themselves too cool for pastels. When I first dipped my fingers into the abyss of darkness, I was mesmerized by the sheer badassery it bestowed upon my nails. For several glorious months, we were an unstoppable duo, turning heads and striking fear into the hearts of manicure enthusiasts everywhere. But alas, like many love affairs, our relationship soured over time, leaving me with a sticky mess and a broken heart. Let's start with the positives, shall we? This black nail polish was like the rebellious teenager of my nail polish collection – edgy, bold, and unapologetically cool. The color payoff was intense, like painting my nails with the essence of midnight itself. Plus, the glossy finish was so shiny, I could practically see my reflection in it – which was both impressive and slightly narcissistic, if I'm being honest. But then, disaster struck. After a year of faithful companionship, my beloved black nail polish began to show signs of betrayal. It started innocently enough – a slight thickening here, a sticky texture there – but soon escalated into a full-blown crisis. No matter how hard I shook the bottle or pleaded with it to return to its former glory, the polish remained stubbornly sticky, refusing to cooperate like a rebellious teenager grounded on prom night. As I watched in horror as my once-beloved black nail polish turned into a gloopy mess, I couldn't help but feel a pang of betrayal. We'd been through so much together – late nights, special occasions, even a few daring fashion statements – and yet, it seemed that our love affair was destined to end in disappointment. Like a goth romance gone awry, our relationship had reached its bitter end, leaving me with nothing but regrets and sticky nails. In conclusion, while this black nail polish served me well for several months, its sticky demise left me feeling like a jilted lover in a gothic soap opera. If you're looking for a short-term fling with intense color payoff and glossy shine, then by all means, give it a whirl. Just be prepared for the inevitable heartbreak when the sticky truth rears its ugly head – because like all dark romances, this one doesn't end well.
