you will probally have to get a better one. but before you run out to the store and spend a lot a money, try the nail polish you have now following these direction.


put on one coat


let dry completly (ten minutes or so)


put on one more coat





if you don't see an improvment of color buy a better oneBlack nail polish question?
did you get like an NYC one or a $1 nail polish? that might be why. i've used that stuff before, try using 3 coats.





if it's not dark enough for you, buy a better quality one. Sally Hansen is pretty cheap and works well.
Try the Pure Ice brand (you can get it at Walmart/Target) It works SOOOOO well, I promise you! I'm wearing it now :0)

You should get a better quality one.
Better quality is always good. Nevetheless, you have to apply more than coat. Otherwise the color will never be 'intense'.
get a better quality one. when i used to wear black polish, the first coat was black.
try to apply it even times if that does not work get a new polish
uhh... get a better quality one... like go to an ulta or somthing... the more expensive, the better, and its worth it
i recommend OPI that works really well, you should apply 2 coats of that and it will look black


good luck%26lt;33
All black nail polish is a grayish color when there is only one coat applies.


You usually need two, maybe three coats to get the full black color.
I would try coated it twice and see what it looks like then...
If you have to apply more than two coats, you need to buy a better quality. Try OPI, they are the best in my opinion!
More expensive polishes do make a difference. But the way you apply a polish helps too. Try using a base coat, then two coats of colour polish, then a top coat. Let each coat dry before applying the next. If this doesn't work, then try a different polish :-)
I adore black nail polish it works well with so styles. Channel's black polish is $18 a bottle, but it lasts a long time and should give you the desired darker shade you're looking for, also it doesn't chip easily.
When using dark coloured nail varnish, another tip is to apply a layer of clear polish first.





If you wear nail varnish alot it can stain your nails so this will stop the staining.





I've always used the cheap stuff and 3 coats is usually needed :)
try wet and wild it is good and you only have to apply one coat
