Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Blackout

I have been slacking this year on painting my nails. I don't know what it is. It's not like I don't have the time. But anyway...trying to get back into it. I bought this last year I think...because I love black nail polish. And I'm trying to encourage myself to buy different nail polishes/lines than what I always get. So here I have the Xtreme Wear line. 

Sally claims:

Extreme wear and shine, long-lasting color is chip-resistant, fade-resistant, streak-free, waterproof.

I love a black nail polish. It was a gap in my collection for a few years because I have a dark brown that fulfilled that need. But then I ran out of my stamping polish so I picked this up. 

I've been wearing it as a regular polish and haven't even tried it for stamping. 

I don't like it as a black nail polish. It's very saturated so you can definitely get away with one coat. But I like the colors that go on sheer that you have to build. You have more control and they usually last longer. This just has a "cheap" finish to it. It just looks and feels cheap. I don't know how to explain it. 

It also is not Xtreme Wear. 

Excuse the horrible sloppy polish job...I guess I don't like the brush either because it is so hard to get a nice paint job.

I'm not a fan..I think this polish is going to be demoted strictly to a stamping color. Or maybe a pedicure color but it doesn't last long even that way. 

I would still try another color from the line- because maybe this color is just a fluke. Xtreme has been around a long time, there has to be a reason why.
