Sadly this black doesn't have the same formula as other colours - it's very goopy, but also quite liquid at the same time, which can make it hard to place it on your nail and control where it goes. Th...Read more

Background: My nails are almost always painted and 9 times out of 10, they are black. I would always pick up a cheap $2 black nail polish and ended up painting my nails every 2-3 days. I decided to sp...Read more

I don't know if I got a bad batch but this nail polish for me was streaky; it is not a one-coater unlike china glaze's liquid leather. I have small, round nails so I found the wide brush difficult to ...Read more

I finally got this after lusting after it since 2008! I started with Orly Liquid Vinyl (which is my baby) then I got Essie Licorice (also a beautiful black with an excellent formula. But I just had to...Read more

I've had a different experience with this colour as compared to other reviewers. I simply adore this colour. It's such a true black and look extremely sophisticated on short manicured nails. It doe...Read more

A completely mediocre product. I was expecting a lovely glossy, easy to apply polish - but this is runny and gloopy at the same time. You will need at least two coats to get a good coverage. I will n...Read more

I love OPI but this polish left a lot to be desired. I was constantly having to thin it out. And it wasn't the easiest to work with. It wasn't horrific but I'm sure you can find a different simple ...Read more

Very disappointed. First of all, after purchase I opened the bottle at home only to find out that the brush already had some bristles sticking out! I expect that from Elf or Essence, not from OPI. L...Read more

Went on opaque in one coat for me but I wore 2 coats over my usual base coat. Black Onyx is an opaque, black creme polish with a lovely shiny finish. If I wasn't worried about chips, I'd probably skip...Read more

Difficult to apply - very thick. Color OK - a bit grey, sort of rubbery. Peeled off after 2 days of wear but I didn't apply basecoat so that might have helped.

Terrible formula. Does not go on smoothly, and does not even itself out. Looks sticky like tar. I bought it as a base for my duochromes, but it's terrible even as that.

I have this on my nails right now. I just got a gel manicure with it. It's the purest, nicest black I've ever gotten. Usually when I get black it doesn't look like a true black & even tends to fade. T...Read more

My #1 choice for black polish. My nails DO NOT turn yellow after cleaning off this product (of course, you need to use a good base coat, too!). Very basic, but a necessity in any manicurist's collecti...Read more

This has been my least favorite bottle of OPI. Mine was really runny at first and bled all over my cuticles. I was beyond irritated and had to remove the polish and start all over. When I reapplied, t...Read more

An okay black nail polish that applies evenly. I used two coats and the polish is a little thicker than I like.

Best black polish ever. It's a gorgeous black and looks so glossy and classic with a shiney top coat.

This is a perfect black. Great shine, excellent coverage with just 2 coats! Black Onyx is really one of my absolute favourites.
