I don't own too many high end nail varnishes but this must have been one of the first pricier one's I bought. I used it a few times until, one day it literally va(r)nished - ha ha! I was so upset and looked everywhere but it was gone. About two years later, when we moved out my mother found this under the cupbord. I was sure that it must be dried out by now. But uh-uh! Two years (!), and it was just as good as when I first bought it! Not droopy, or tacky, only one coat needed and quite long-lasting. It's a deep, almost-black burgundy with purple undertones. Vampy yet elegant. Great product and quite cheap considering the amount and quality you get!

This is a very dark cherry-plum colour. It is basically black on the nails- almost, but not quite. It went on okay- you have to put on a very thick coat because it goes on kind of weird otherwise. Dries quickly though, and after two coats it's opaque.
I wouldn't buy it again, I'd rather an actual black than an "not a black but pretty much a black". Still an alright polish though.

I adore this colour, its a deep reddish indigo and great for all skin tones (but particularly fair skin). It's like a really dark Got the blues for red, but more glamourous and has a subtle purple sheen too!

My new favorite nail polish! It's a creamy redish-plum shade, almost black in some lights. Very chic. The only downfall is that since it's so dark, applicstion mistakes are very visible. Overall, a great go-to fall color!

Quite messy, but a beautiful color if only putting on 2 coats.
My mother and I are addicted.

Nice deep colour but it is almost black and I wish it stayed more plum colored upon application. Very easy to mess up with due to high pigment and creaminess so it is better when someone else applies it for you.

Another fantastic OPI vampy shade that I was instantly drawn to. It's a cream finish deep sultry burgundy/wine that upon 2 coats, definitely defines sexy without turning blackened like so many of these kind of shades do. I could see this working well on many skintones, and is a great shade for both tips and toes. Unique ... not necessarily ... but I'm a junkie for any vampy OPI's .. and this definitely floats my boat!

This is a very dark purple brown color, comes out alot darker in real life than in the bottle. Looks black in most lights. Still very nice, it's a creme with very high shine.

I started out buying this as a replacement for OPI We'll Always Have Paris. It's not at all similar, this is darker.

Formula is great, as always. Won't buy again.

Beauitful dark red/plum. With three coats it almost looks black with a hint of colour. Lasts forever. One of my fave OPI colours.

The colour is confusing. I bought it thinking it was a purple colour but when I put it on my nails it's actually a dark red. Beautiful colour, so I was really happy to have bought it.

I love OPI and eventhough there are many good brands come along like RBL, Butter London and Deborah Lippmann, i still buy many OPI colors and never tired of searching for new colors from this brand and this is my latest found which is a dark vampy aubergine color, i put it side by side with OPI Lincoln Park and they are almost similar with this one to be slightly reddish, this is actually more similar to Essie Velvet Velour while OPI Lincoln Park is close to RBL Film Noir and Deborah Lippmann Dark Side Of The Moon, fast dry, very shiny with two coats without topcoat and mine last for 12 days without cheaping at all, the 12th day was the day i took the color off and still no chipping, not sure i got a very good batch or what..

Beautiful dark plum, gives your nails a very sexy look. I had also bought the China Glaze VIII and these colors are very similar + similar quality. China Glaze is cheaper though.

I love this color! One of my new favorites and definitely my favorite in this line. It's a very dark burgundy but I've gotten comments that it looks purple, black and even brown. When I bought it I thought it would be the perfect dark dark red shade and that's still what I think even though people have commented otherwise. It's a very shiny color that probably only needs 2 coats. Very fashion forward too, I saw this dark shade a lot during Fashion Week. Perfect for fall!

I LOVE this color because it is like Midnight in Moscow without the glitter- more opaque, Only had to use 2 coats. This is a new favorite.

Fantastic really deep burgundy brown! The color lasts a good 4 days without chipping and two coats go on smoothly with no bumps and great coverage. Definitely my fall 2010 favorite.

If you want to know what the color of dark chocolate looks like on nails, you should give it a go on William Tell Me About OPI. This color is a beautiful, true dark chocolate color. It's more than jus brown. It makes you want to put the beautiful dark chocolate nails to your mouth and eat them! :) Some people say this color looks like Lincoln Park After Dark, which is the color I also like. However, Lincoln Park After Dark as more purple tone than chocolate brown tone.

Personally, this color is a beautiful one to wear in fall/winter. I only put 2 coats and the color is completely opaque. But if you put 3, I guess it will be probably too dark, almost black. This color, however, is most beautiful to appreciate under natural sunlight as you can see it's definitely not black but dark chocolate.

The drying power is excellent and overall the Swiss Collection is a winner and the formula is good. I will definitely buy this color as a back up.

GREAT shade. Very dark, but with only two coats has almost a purple-burgundy shade. With additional coats appears darker, and verges on deep brown/black. It's a beautiful fall shade, and also a great winter-shade, I imagine.

This polish is a deep burgundy, verging on maroon. It is a very vampy shade: perfect for fall. It gets deeper in color the more coats you apply. Application was a dream-- color was opaque in two coats and dry time was incredibly quick, faster than most of my other polishes. Wear time is average. Would definitely repurchase.
