20 Best Black Gel Nail Polish (2024 Update)

the blue color is very beautiful, my client she liked it very much. This color is a mix of blue and green, to be honest with you sometimes I don't even know what the exact name is😩, I just know it's beautiful, don't you agree? The color is up to standard, beautiful, smooth and even. Keep the color about 10 or more depending on the work you dothao.n

My regular nail salon uses these soak off gel polishes. They’re so worth it. I have my hands in hot water a lot everyday and there’s never any chipped polish. This stays on. When your nails grow, it looks like they need filled (which they do) but there’s no dip powder on my nails in the pic. I get a gel polish only manicure. This brand is highly recommendedangel.h

Love this shade. So pretty. First time using this brand and I will buy from DND again. It was very easy to apply. I bought online from Walmart. It was a good price for what I got. I would recommend. #nailartkelsey.h

Ho Ho holy moly! This is an AMAZING polish! Most glitter polishes (which is the version I’m reviewing) smear when you put them on or don’t show up at all. This Deep Sea Diamonds polish shows up and then some! It not only has small glitter but bigger pieces as well which makes it super sparkly! I’m wearing it over a darker color but you can definitely wear this on its own. Two coats is all you need but you can get away with one. The formulation is on the thicker side which helps keep the glitter in tact. Add a quick dry top coat and you’re done! Highly recommend! If you follow me, I’d like to first say thank you so much! I always follow back but Influenster puts a limit on following at 500.

This is probably one of my favourite nail polishes. I love the shade of green and the non-goopy application of it. It’s also lasted longer than any of the other expensive polish brands I own (all the ones that promise no chips for two weeks and then they chip next day no matter how careful you are). I’ve gotten a bit less than a week’s wear out of it, but even now it’s only a couple chips on a few fingers, which is to be expected because I’m a mom of young kids, so I am constantly doing something with my hands and washing them. I see other reviewers mentioning how sheer applications are, which is true, but it just means you need a couple extra coats, which honestly isn’t a big deal; I find that most polishes, no matter how much coverage they give you, need additional coats anyways. Personally, for me, this polish is a win!Rebekah

When I use this polish along with the Miracle Gel top coat, I get a solid week out of the nails before I get any chipping. Usually I only have to repaint them when the nails are growing out too much. Dries quickly, so apply quickly and carefully. This is a great middle ground between regular polish and real gel, meaning it is great for home use. You can get thick coverege that hides your ridges without needing to buff your nails if you do 2 color and 1 top coat. I'm in the process of replacing all my existing polishes with Miracle Gel versions.LH

The only reason this gel polish doesn't get a 5 star is because it is an absolute pain to get off. I can soak it and soak it for what seems like hours and I still have to file it off or scrape with an orange stick. The colours are beautiful, it is easy to apply for a beginner and it doesnt pool at the edges of your nail. Another great bonus is that the top coat does not require alcohol wiping, so for those with tight c curved nails, like me, you get much better coverage and top coat seal!kayla.m

I recently started doing my own gel nails at home and I love this top coat. It is no wipe so you do not have a sticky residue left over. I will always recommend to friends! At home gel nails are the way to go. I have weaker nails and this helps strengthen them without the salon price.mckenna.d

Who knows when their overhead mechanism was made. I had the manual and that was no help. So the hardest part was finding the correct setup code [which I then wrote down]. But it does just exactly what it is supposed to do. But do keep your manual. Sometimes a power outage will require a reset. I know someone who bought a new one rather than pay for a repairman which would have cost MUCH more., all because didn't keep the manual.lorilohman

Well i can say I am very disappointed in this purchase. This was my birthday gift from my mom. I was soooooo excited at first because this is my favorite brand of nail lacquer! An it Arrived early thank you for that. But this happiness slow dampened as i opened each box of six. because out of 48 bottles I only loved about 12 and i liked maybe 10 more but as for the 26 other colors that i really didn't care for. It seems like this is a deal but really its a quick way to sell the colors no one wants. Basically all the ugly left over bottles an the variety of color was poor. This was not the birthday suprise I was hoping for . Instead it was a birthday dudVictoria

I bought a pack of 12 of this nail polish. Some colors are nice a few are strange. The bottle will show a dark color and then goes on super light. But overall these ate good. Dries really fast and lasts about 2 weeks before chipping starts.karolyn.p

Very pretty, but I did not get the colors shown in the picture. I received similar colors, I guess, but I bought it wanting the colors that were shown/advertised. Also, one of the bottles was spilled all over, making it an empty bottle when it was delivered. Then 2 other bottles were old, I'm guessing, because it had the consistency of glue. The bottles were not filled all the way, and they smell really strong. I gave 2 stars because if I would've got fresh, unspilled, new bottles that contained the colors I thought I was purchasing, they have potential.Jennifer

I may be late to the OPI Mexico City Collection's Spring 2020 release, but at least I finally found that rad yellow creme! With my pale, pink-toned skin, finding a yellow that is saturated without leaning too dark, pastel, or neon — AND has a 3-coat (or less) formula — is a real challenge. I got my hands on this color after stumbling into an Amazon sale (the "Buy at least $20 worth of these selected items, get $5 off" kind? It was the first time I tried it out!) where a few of the OPI Mexico City colors were included. I had heard about this color for a while, and watched nail polish swatchers on YouTube include it in their side-by-side yellow polish comparisons every season, but I could never find it in-stock at a reasonable shipping rate until that sale. Score! As you can see from my photo, it's a slightly lighter yellow, but it works like a standard yellow on my fair skin when compared to darker shades. It pops in just the right way! Plus, its formula is 3 coats maximum for full opacity, which is hard to achieve with yellow polish at any price point. (Don't you hate it when a color of polish is sold as the brand's "standard primary color," only to find out it takes 4 or 5 streaky coats to achieve that color? So many polish brands do that with yellow and white, even at the salon level. No, thank you!) I've been in in a real yellow mood this summer, so I'm so happy to find a great color that works for me in 3 coats and doesn't chip easily after a few days!elizabeth.o

Did you know that OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark was one of Kim K's favourite nail polishes in 2011? (Totally true, look it up.) I, for one, think it's time we restore it its former glory. Maybe that's because I'm a millennial and obsessed with nostalgia. Maybe it's because it's the perfect vampy shade – dark and deep, but not MySpace-era emo black. We will never know. It's giving chic, it's giving lady (she/he/they) of leisure, it's giving goes with everything. Why are you still reading this? Just buy it.LSDPB

I have been wearing Mod About You since it was first introduced to the OPI line. It is the most gorgeous shade of pink I have ever put on my hands and toes. Every year when spring comes, it's one of the first things I buy (along with my favorite self tanner). It truly makes me happy! It's a beautiful shade that I have never seen duplicated by any other nail polish line. It has a underlying blue-ish base mixed in with the pink and it works so well with my skin tone. I absolutely 💗 it! It's absolutely stunning on tanned skin…Dana 🌸

Love these polishes got 3 lots of 20 duo sets each lot! for 5$ a duo set and I'm so glad I did, these polishes last a long time I've had my polish for 2 weeks exactly and they have not chipped or dulled since! Money well spent! also love that each set comes with regular polish and gel polish! I'm in love! A+++aramita.g

I used to be the woman who got to get out every two weeks and drop $40+ on a gel set and every single time I would choose this color because it's the perfect combo of ruby red and glitter. To save a ton of money and time (with having two exhausting and beautiful children under age 5) I ordered my own gel polish and uv light and started doing my own nails over a year go. I always went through Amazon for all my nail polish needs but I could never find this color so I finally ventured outside my comfort zone and found my gorgeous color. It settles a little differently than I remember- its more watery, so my first run with it is a little messy (as you can tell) but it's still just as beautiful as I remember it. I will get the hang of its texture and be back on track with my gorgeous nail color. As messy as I make them I always get compliments on my nails and it costs me maybe an hour and a half of my time once every couple weeks. I have saved over a thousand dollars easily worth the number of times I have just painted my nails at home. I love LOVE thats there a matching regular polish for my toes. I'm a happy camper for sure!Anna L.

I love this nail polish brand. It never chips, fades, looks dull and always looks like a fresh set. It only takes 2 light passes and it dried. I wish they would have more chrome colors.dawn.t

My new nail technician suggested this shade for me. This helped to create the sophisticated well groomed look I wanted. The only thing I would change is that because I have very pale warm ivory skin with yellow to gold undertones, I would like a very similar polish with a warmer more beige tone instead of the admittedly feminine delicate slightly blueish pink that would be a better match for cool undertoned skin. This is still a beautiful delicate look that many can wear.Ntrnsit

I've been wearing this color for nearly 20 years! I can buy the regular polish at Walmart and it's the correct color. However when I bought the GEL POLISH here, the bottle says "I'm not really a waitress", but it's not the correct color. It looks like a cream, not the metallic-like color it should be. Ever since nail salons shut down in 2020, NONE of them are able to get this color (or so they claim) in a GEL POLISH. Extremely disappointed. Spent $22 having this IMPOSTER shipped to me. BUYER BEWARE!Katrina B.

Based on the reviews of Rosy Future OPI nail lacquer I was excited and looking forward to receiving my new nail polish. Wow! What a shock it turned out to be. One coat looked good and I should have stopped right there. Thinking it would look even better with two coats I eagerly added a second as it was easy to apply. One coat gave a beautiful sheer iridescent shimmering look. Adding a second coat gave me neon nails that resembled fluorescent lights. I will continue to use the Rosy Future but only one coat. I am disappointed because I think a manicure with two coats of polish lasts longer. But, the look with one coat is acceptable with top coat layers. This polish is not the winner that I expected but at the same time it is not a total loss either. I would recommend the Rosy Future because of its versatility. For those who like a sheer iridescent look it’s a winner. For those who like neon nails it’s also a winner. Enjoy your new nail polish! The pictures show two coats of polish but do not depict how bright the color really is. 8-14-21 UPDATE: The more I use Rosy Future the more I like it. I have been using it for 2 years now. It has become my favorite light-neutral pink.dera.w

Not horrible, but definitely not good and surely not great. The smell is the first thing I noticed. God awful. Smells like it would be pure toxicity -I was even hesitant to put it on my nails. But I did. A few days in (like 3) and the polish is chipping on certain nails. The color pink fairy? Is very translucent and so two coats feels not enough. However, the more you layer, the bumpier it gets and gets a lump by the base. It does not go on smoothe. The lamp got super hot but it did dry the polish. Overall, pretty disappointed because I really wanted to like it. It's cute and pretty colors. But would I recommend? No. Thinking of returning.Laura D

I find the shades very inconsistent in quality. Overall, I do not expect these polishes to be the same quality as salon gel mani. However, it's a nice backup if, like me, you're hard on your hands and tend to muck up regular polish very quickly. It was a great replacement for going to the salon during the pandemic. I find that I generally need to do at least 1 additional round of lamp curing than number of coats. Rose Gold- this is not a true metallic rose gold but just pink with glitter. If you're fine with the color (which is a nice, neutral glitter-just not what I expected/hoped for with the name) it's a decent gel polish. I have gotten up to 2 weeks with no chipping, just tip wear. Spiced Chai- shimmery beige with faint purple undertone. My fave color so far. I've gotten 10 days before it chips. Pomegranate- Horrible quality for a decent (though not unique) looking color. This shade is extremely runny and pools around the cuticles no matter how thin of a coat I put on, so it takes a lot of clean up. It takes no less than 3 coats to get it opaque, much less not horribly streaky. Curing seems to make a coat "shrink" even more (see photo of one or two coats after curing). I have to cure it multiple additional times before it dries. Not sure about durability since I never wear this for more than 2 days before I take it off.lindsy.l

I wanted to try Le Mini Macaron for a while, because it looked so easy and was in such cute packaging, plus not having to go to a salon really appeals to me. I saw the Rose Gold and Cherry kits on sale once, and my daughter got them for me for Christmas. I followed the directions and BAM! Beautiful long-lasting manicure at last! Since then I've experimented with other one-step brands and had good success, but this one is the best so far. The process is super-easy, smooth application and a 30-second cure, will not chip (on me at least), does not dull out. Additionally, it is easy to remove. A couple of the colors are sheer, but all-in-all, I may just give up regular polish for Le Mini Macaron. My next step is the maxi lamp kit.Lanie

It's my own fault. I keep buying Sally Hansen products and 90% of the time, they disappoint me. This one is my biggest mistake. Like other reviewers have said, The Moonstone color looks much more appealing in the bottle. When I paint my nail, it's so thin and barely shows. I have to do three coats just to see anything. Unfortunately, it looks and feels like those cheap nail polishes meant for children. I figured it could be used as a cute top coat since it's so clear, but it goes on clumpy and somehow there's tiny air bubbles? The only positive is that it does dry within 60 seconds. My bottle also came with some bead in it.Moyar Jackson

I got this back in June from my local sallys beauty store, to paint my nails before I left for California. Never painted my nails until today. The bottle is not even 3 months old and omg it is horrible. The color is so beautiful but the application was applying like it is was a oldie. Streaks, very splotchy not at all impressed. Even with the double duty polish by sally hansen there is no saving this horrible nail polish. Air bubbles, smears so easily even though I waited 10 minutes to make sure it was dry. Nope not at all saveable. Will never use this company nail polish again. I will just keep using opi. So disappointedLaurenak89

It’s possible I got a bad batch, but my experience with this polish was terrible. I got the ‘My Ca-Banana’ colour. The first time I used it, I couldn’t get it to go on my nails evenly at all, it was extremely streaky and formed clumps that wouldn’t smooth out. I kept trying and ended up needing to do three and a half coats to get it opaque. I let each coat dry in front of a fan on high for 10 minutes, and 20 minutes after I had finished, I bumped my toe into the corner of a table and the polish came right off of that nail in one clump. I initially chocked this up to me not having painted my own nails in a very long time and maybe just doing too many coats so I took it all off and tried again.
I did two thin coats, drying for 10 minutes between, over 40 hours ago now and I can /still/ press my fingernail into it and leave an obvious dent. It was tacky up until about 24 hours after applying. Dont bother with this nail polish, any other cheap nail polish would be better.Onyx Cave

Metallic polishes have always been my go to colour since aged 12 when my older sister told me these were easier to apply without looking blotchy. Whether or not this is true I still do not know 15 odd years later, but my habit has been set! Game of Chromes is a beautiful colour. Normally I avoid a polish this gold out of fear of it looking tacky, but there are a number of subtones to the colour that tone it down and cause it to look a mixture of silver, bronze and gold depending on how the light shines. Very much a statement polish still, but one that looks like it has been chosen by an adult! The polish is opaque enough that one coat will give you sufficient coverage, but I opted for two to get that added sparkle. Note you need quite a long drying time in this case. I tend to only use polish on my toes, and therefore I can't provide helpful comments on how resistant the polish is to daily chores such as washing up and typing. However it has lasted amazingly well on my toes compared to previous polishes I have used. Two weeks later and, except for my nails having grown a little, looks like I applied it yesterday. To be picky, the brush was slightly too large for my nails. My little toe nails needed more of a dot than a stroke! Certainly I would have struggled to do an accurate job on my fingers. However, this is common for me and I would rather the brush spread too far than did not cover my whole nail as it's not that hard to pick off the bits that get on the skin if needed. The polish did go on smoothly and very streak free. As mentioned before, I did two layers and it took a while for the first one to dry enough to attempt the second coat so had to flap round the house wiggling my feet like a mad lady for a while. The top coat was very good and seemed to really meld with the colour polish. Note that you get best results using this in sunlight as that sets the polish in the same way a UV lamp does for normal gel nails. Not the easiest when you're doing this on your toenails and don't have a garden, but I managed! Overall I'm very happy with this polish and think it's great to not need to go to the salon for a long lasting finish.yelitza.s

If you enjoy using any of the beautiful gel polish from Sally Hansen then you will definitely love using their gel polish base coat. As this base coat help bind or adhere the color better to our nails. For me I think it helps not protect our nails but also help the nail color last longer as well. I also think it is a must when I am doing my manicure with my Sally Hansen Gel Colors to start with their Gel Polish Base Coat Nail Polish for a great and lasting overall manicure 💅.ingrid.c

…das ist hier jedoch nicht gegeben. Zum Sgeblatt: Schlicht- es wobbelt. Es luft nicht richtig rund und sobald man ins Holz eintaucht, habe weiches Holz gesgt, aber auch z.B. Bankirai. Damit sind genaue Schnitte unmglich. Die Schnittleistung ist ansonsten i.O., soll heien es sgt nicht gut, aber zumindest schnell… So wie das Ding sgt, htte es auch ein Blatt aus China sein knnen, was noch gnstiger ist.andigsxr

Das Sgeblatt kam gut verpackt an. Es ist zustzlich im Metabo Faltkarton fr Sgebltter verpackt. Das Sgeblatt macht einen guten verarbeiteten Eindruck. Habe das Sgeblatt Montiert und 3-4 Probeschnitte ( USB Platte, Multiplexplatte, weise Spanplatte ) durchgefhrt. Fast gar keine Ausrisse auf der Unterseite (so minimal das es nur bei ganz genauen hinsehen aufflt). Ausrisse entstehen nur bei zu schnellen schieben des Sgestcks und die sind so minimal das es nur bei ganz genauen hinsehen aufflt und somit vertetbar / haltbar. Schnittleistung Top Schnittbild Top Preis Top Von meiner Seite aus ganz klare Kaufempfehlung und fr weitere Kufe auf meiner Beobachtungsliste. Fazit: bis jetzt eines meiner besten Sgebltter im Ersteindruck Zur Standhaftigkeit kann ich noch keine Angaben machen da ich nur Probeschnitte durchgefhrt habe.fabe-sve

Ich war skeptisch ein so gnstiges Blatt zu Kaufen. In der Praxis liefert es ein wirklich gutes Schnittbild ab. Pappelschnitte weisen leichte Ausbrche auf (es ist leider sehr weich). In Hartholz kann man nichts negatives sagen. Auch Acrylglas lsst sich ohne Probleme Sgen, Hitze bedingte Schmelznasen habe ich nicht festgestellt. Alles in allem ist dieses Blatt zu empfehlen!makongo

Love the idea of it and this colour is just gorgeous. However the brushes in this (maybe i got a dodgy one) but it left a lot of streaks and didn’t apply smoothly and did have a few straggler hairs which made a mess. Other than that the shape of the brush is great for around the cuticles. Not much product but I guess that’s the purpose for it to be travel friendly. I actually really like this and the colour is stunning in 2 coats (a little streaky because of the brush) I will keep buying and see if it’s a common thing but I really like it and they dry fast 2 coats polish 2 top coat 10 minutes fry time totalChels7777

I applied my first Miracle Gel, color 'Saturn it Up'. One week and absolutely no chips. It was even difficult to file with my Revlon file boards. My nails were destroyed 2 weeks ago when my Gel soak off polish would not come off after soaking my fingers for 15 minutes in acetone. I had to slowly peel them and then soak again to no avail. So with damaged and paper thin nails I tried the miracle. I did 3 coats but they were super thick. There was a little distortion under the top get. The top gel dried great but step one wasn't dry all the way. I'm going to do the process again even though I don't need to. I bought several other colors and have decided to give myself permission to change colors every week! I am thrilled after trying the gels. My nails can now grow out for several months and have some length and be beautiful. Now I just want to figure out how to do 'ombre' nails with this product.Betsy Bee

I bought rain-glow yesterday. I unwrapped the plastic, so I know it was brand new, and started to do step one. The first couple nails were challenging because the color seemed quite thick. It did not go on smooth. By the time I got to the third nail I realized there was something very wrong with the color and this was not going to go well. The color was mostly thick, chunky, and would not go on smooth. I tried out step two just to see if that side was also dried up, but that side was perfectly fine. Pretty bummed about this because it’s actually a really cool product.JoMc

This is a no chip mood color, goes from a light maroon to extreme dark. Even though, this application was done at the salon. As long as you've applied no chip manicure before, you can apply this mood color as well. Exact same steps. When your hands are warm, its the light tone, when hands are cold then it will turn dark. In the photo I have several shades because i wanted to demonstrate the shades possible. [ photo unable at this time]estela.g

I have many gel polishes, and several color changing glitter ones. This combination is the perfect one for summer! Gold for sand and aqua for water – awesome beach colors. The polish stays on for over 2 weeks and often has the hombre effect with just the tips turning aqua. I have had more compliments on this polish than any other I have worn! Highly recommended! Would definitely purchase it again! A nice large sized bottle too!embch011

I have been trying to find this perfect match product for awhile, and My Deal had this perfect colour and matching nail lacquer. Thank you for your excellent service, and spot on delivery service. Seamless. Best, TeresaTeresa

This is the first time I have ordered from Beyond polish. I was excited to try all the products I ordered. The first time I used the bottom coat it bubbled and did not lay flat or smooth. I thought it was my nails, so i removed the coating and buffed and used a nail strengthener for about a week and a half. Last night I tried again and the bottom bubbled again and the color used seperated on my nails. I am very disappointed in the product and probably wont use the site again, as when I looked up why this would happen, several sites said it is due to old thick polish. I will go to a beauty store from now on. I am very disappointed in my purchase.Lyndsay R.

Great polish, goes on smooth and evenly. Isn't too runny or thick, gives a nice coat. Can do two coats and it had great coverage. Not opaque or streaky. Good price for what you get! I love these nail polishes, and this colour is so gorgeous! Definitely add this to your collection for a fun pop of orange!kristi-lee.m

Don't purchase if you don't want a completely transparent polish with very, very little color. This is NOT at all the CND "Clearly Pink" polish that I've used for years. Sleek Nail should take this polish off the market as its description is very misleading. Now I'm stuck with two bottles of this polish that I cannot use and a loss of $35. Very, very disappointed!Ellen
