Lovely colour
First colour I bought from gelous and was quite impressed. I love the colour and found it could be layered less or more for a lighter or darker brown. Super cute.

Colour can look different in certain light, sometimes looks purple
Really dark, almost black. Beautiful colour, was tossing up between Espresso and Stumped but went with the darker one.. sometimes looks a little purple in certain lights which I don’t love. Maintains an excellent shine!
