A shade that’s perfect for the A/W months and the only dark shade I own from this line. Extreme Blackcurrant is an intense dark purple that looks almost black. With just a hint of purple depending on the lighting, it’s a very pretty shade.
I always find that dark shades are harder to apply as they can be really messy, nothing a Q-tip can’t fix though! Considering it was so dark, it didn’t appear streaky at all and only requires two coats to create the rich opacity above. The shade dried to a very glossy finish even before I had applied my top coat.
Longevity was about 5 days before I had noticeable chipping but that’s pretty impressive, especially for a darker colour too. I love this darker shade however Maybelline really lack in darker shade choices. Saying that, they did release some summer shades so hopefully they will release some autumn and winter options too, pretty please!
What’s your favourite nail shade for A/W?

I do love a really dark nail shade at this time of year. My current favourite is the Nails Inc Alexa Silk. It’s black but has a super fine shimmer in it that stops it being flat and it’s such a dream to apply x
