Sometime during fashion week I was bitten by the black nail polish bug. I noticed it's always popular with fashionistas, no matter what the season or which way the trend winds are blowing, so I hit up my local Target last weekend and picked up a bottle of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Pat On The Black to get my fix. Picture the darkest point in a glass of Merlot, and you've got your color. Gorgeous! Two coats and you're almost there, but three coats are necessary to achieve bottle color. Not uncommon with such dark shades, and since it goes on smooth, even and dries relatively quickly, it's not a problem. The quality of this line of polishes is really good, too. I'm officially addicted. It doesn't chip easily (that's day 3 up above) and it's not a pain to remove. I don't think this color is new or particularly trendy, just a timeless, chic polish to add to your collection!
