Review title is 3.5 stars; awful flavor and smell, 4 coats gets a good opaque color [SEP] There’s such a strong, sweet, artificial vanilla flavor and smell to this that is cloying and sickening. Yuck. I hate it.<br />Once it sets (about 2-5 minutes, which is longer than most), it looks matte and stays in place very well. It took 4 layers to look fully black on me.<br />Would be 4 stars if it didn’t taste and smell horrible. 3.5 stars
