NYK1 Graphite Sparkle Gel Nail Polish

Two coats and it looks like wet asphalt with a million tiny sparkles caught in it — exactly the "glistening tar" vibe I was hoping for. Dried down smooth and hasn't chipped after a week of typing all day.

The glitter is packed in there densely enough that one coat already gives that wet, glassy finish, but I did two just to be safe. It dries smooth without any gritty texture, which surprised me for a glitter polish.

Two coats and my nails look like wet asphalt under a streetlamp, that depth of black with silver sparkle is unreal. It glides on smooth and doesn’t pool at the cuticles like some dark polishes I’ve tried.
