My favorite black nail polish. It's a black liquid sand with red sparkles. It's so pretty especially in the sun! 2 coats gives full coverage and lasts for almost a week whenever I apply it. I used an entire bottle up and ordered another. I think it's pretty sexy and different. I love the sand like texture of it.

I bought this polish by mistake. Even though it had Liquid Sand printed all over the cap, at the time of the purchase I didn't know what it meant. So as a result I was mighty disappointed when instead of what I saw in the bottle (shiny black jelly with beautiful red glitter), I got rough, grey surface with matt finish and red glitter. I kept painting extra coats on, in hope that it somehow would get better, but it didn't. The bottle suggested using it without top coat, but I prefer it with. I tried using another reviewers' suggestion to pile on the top coat, which should even out the surface and give the varnish shiny look, but I gave up after the 3rd coat. Yes it did improve it, but that's the length I am not prepared to go for any nail polish. In the end I grew to except it for what it was, rather than what I wanted it to be. I have noticed that OPI brought out a non Liquid Sand, shiny version of this polish in their Coca-Cola collection, called Today I Accomplished Zero, but judging by the reviews on MUA, it's not much better.

Siberian nights is truly a beautiful color. Definitely a good fall/winter shade. But, the problem that I have with this polish is the staying power. I got my nails done and polished on Saturday, so about four days ago. I noticed it almost immediately. My nail polish was completely dry, and began to chip already-about an hour into wearing it. Even though I wore a top coat, after the first day, the nail polish started to look very dull and not so pretty anymore. So, I will not be wearing this polish again, unfortunately. I definitely prefer Lincoln Park After Dark, and this is definitely not a replacement for it.

This is my second foray into the whole "liquid sand" thing. This polish is a black jelly filled with bright red-pink glitter. It goes on smooth, like any other glitter-in-jelly polish, but as it dries, the base becomes more and more contracted, leaving the glitter (and other particles, which are the same colour as the base) as texture. This is very easy to apply, and the formula is good. I initially used two coats, but one coat over a black base actually works somewhat better for me. When dry, the black base has a sort of semi-matte effect, I guess. I don't care much for the finish, to be honest. To me, the black looks sort of plasticky, or gummy, or maybe waxy, and not really matte at all.The texture is okay, if you don't mind that sort of thing (but if you do, you should probably keep away from textured polishes, anyway). I tried to like the look of this polish just on its own, but I just didn't, and I ended up putting on a shiny top coat (I used INM Out the Door because it's what I had on hand). The top coat fixed my issues with the odd, plastic-look base, but, of course, some of the texture was lost, although not all of it, so the now-shiny surface had a slightly uneven look. Some experimentation with this polish has shown me that to get a smooth surface you really need more than one layer of top coat. I had good results using a plain, clear polish followed by a high-gloss top coat (though a quick dry top coat would also have worked). I must admit, I like this polish MUCH better with shiny top coat, which kinda sucks, because it adds that much extra work to a manicure, and it kinda defeats the purpose of a textured polish. The actual colours are really pretty, I think. The red glitter stands up very well to the dark base, although the overall polish is still quite dark. It reminds me more than a little of China Glaze Lubu Heels, but more sparkly, with more visible glitter, and, obviously, with the textured surface. I will note that this is easy to remove, despite the glitter (this is only true if you haven't put on top coat, though). I should also note that the glitter tends to get EVERYWHERE on removal.As much as I love dark, vampy polishes, particularly with red glitter, I can't see myself wearing this as a full manicure. It does make an interesting accent nail, though, teamed with black or with red, or with the aforementioned Lubu Heels.So, overall, this is a kind of interesting polish, but not something I love. I'm really not that keen on it, despite how pretty it looks with sufficient top coating. I understand it's a limited edition, but even if it weren't, I wouldn't buy it again.

The shade appeared to be blackened grape shade in the bottle. When applied there was a taupe (brown/gray) quality to it that did not appear so in the bottle. This would be even more apparent if the application was to be mattified ( I used China Glaze's Matte Magic top coat).However, what must be commended are the application, opacity and the lasting power of this nail polish.The application was smooth and non streaky. The color was saturated after the 1st coat. But for longevity I'd suggest a 2nd application. And this n/p stayed put all week. I applied it on Sunday and by Friday, the wear and tear on my manicure began to show. And for reference, I do the dishes without gloves, so this n/p is definitely hardcore.The shade itself is not too unique but its such a trendy shade in Holiday season and given the overall quality of this n/p, I wouldn't want to be without it.
