Claims: Crisp White Polish | Classic Black Polish | 12-Free | Cruelty Free | Vegan
Size: 0.41 oz. or 12 mL
Price: $9.50 each
Purchase: Paper Snow and / or Tuxedo Mask
Last year KL Polish released their KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish into their collection. These two polishes were, and still are, sold separately and are not part of any collection. To see what I thought of these two polishes check out the video below or just keep scrolling!
KL Polish Paper Snow
KL Polish Paper Snow is the white polish in this KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish review. Paper Snow is a crisp, all white nail polish in a creme formula. Paper Snow is almost opaque in one coat, however, a second coat is needed for full opaqueness and to remove some streakiness.
KL Polish Tuxedo Mask
KL Polish Tuxedo Mask is the black polish in this KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish review. Tuxedo Mask is a classic black nail polish in a creme formula. Tuxedo Mask is a bit streaky and patch with one coat but that gets evened out and it turns out absolutely gorgeous with the second coat. I did have to take the photo of Tuxedo Mask with the Paper Snow bottle because the nails blended in with the bottle of Tuxedo Mask!
KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish Review
When you were younger did you ever paint your nails with White Out when you were bored or in class? I did and because of that I think KL Polish should have named “Paper Snow” “White Out” instead. Anywho, when I heard that KL Polish was finally adding a basic white and black polish to their catalog I was excited. I knew that a basic white and black where needed in nail art and stamping and the ones that I had tried I just hadn’t liked. Since I had liked every other KL Polish that I’d tried up to that point, Paper Snow and Tuxedo Mask were released before the Winter Glamourland I just reviewed, I thought getting these to try would solve my problems. It did! Both of these polishes are great, both by themselves and when used in nail art like the one above. Speaking of the nail art above, first off don’t judge my seriously horrible nail art skills, this was actually the nail art I did at the beginning of May for when I graduated with my Associate’s Degree in Computer Programming.
Final Thoughts on KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish
If you’re looking for a basic black or white nail polish then I highly suggest giving the KL Polish Black and White Nail Polish a try, especially if you’ve already tried the brand liked it. However, in the guise of full transparency and because I like for my reviews to be 100% honest I would like to bring up one thing that does bug me about KL Polish and you will see this complaint again in a few weeks when I review the Ethereal Garden collection…their shipping is atrocious. If you purchase the polishes together or individually you will pay $5.95 shipping, which while slightly annoying I can live with. The thing that gets me is that they wrap them in tissue paper, yes you read that right TISSUE paper with NO bubble wrap and they then put it in a slightly padded envelope. While I understand KL Polish is a newer and independent brand this is unacceptable to me especially when you factor in that they raised the prices of the polishes (and the shipping because it use to be below $5) so there is no reason why they don’t package their products better for shipping. Please factor that in when deciding to purchase. All of my polishes have arrived unbroken but they did ship the 70’s Vibes and the Ethereal Garden Collections in the same envelope and both of them arrived with damaged boxes.

I’ve never painted my nails white or black. I have been wanting to try a white polish and I love how it looks on your nails. I don’t like the high shipping cost and that the polish isn’t protected better when shipping. I do like the white color.
I agree. They currently have a set and a single polish that are literally the only things I haven’t purchased from the brand at this point. However, the cost of shipping and how they ship has kept me from purchasing them and I’m trying to decide if completing my collection is worth the principal of not supporting a brand that keeps raising costs but doesn’t do anything to raise quality.
Awesome honest review and I appreciate that.
Thank you

I try my best, even if it means I’ll never get PR from any brand.
Thanks for the nice review. I’m always looking for great nail polish and appreciate your heads up about the shipping as well.
You’re very welcome!
These look cool, I have never painted my nails black and white but I like the effect. My favourite colour nail varnish is a turquoise colour by Barry M.
I’ve hear great things about Barry M polishes!
Looks like there’s a lot of great options when it comes to nail polish. I have not heard of this brand before but he will definitely check them out. The quality looks really good.
There really are so many amazing options.
I always have my nails painted. Always. I do black a lot, too, so I think I am going to order myself a bottle of this.
Same. My nails are ALWAYS painted…even if the right hand doesn’t match the left due to testing purposes lol
i love these colors! I love the line, so maybe I am leaning toward them a little bit! Which was your favorite? The white looks so cute!
I don’t know if I could pick just one favorite between these two because while they are both classic colors they are both different in so many ways. The white brightens the nail area and the hand while the black has that “vampy” look and feel to it. In all honesty, if I didn’t already own these and I was going to purchase one I’d wait until I could purchase both!
I have never found a white polish that was opaque in a single coat, so I will definitely be trying this!
It shocked me when I was swatching it! Makes it better for nail art though in my opinion!
This is such pretty polish! I wish I could put stuff on my nails, but I just hate the feeling. My daughter loves polish though!
I know several people who are like that and just can’t stand the feel of things on their nails. Nothing wrong with it, some people can’t stand the feel of hair ties, earrings, and the list goes on.
I love a good white nail polish. This sounds like a good kind.
A good white polish is a must in a collection in my opinion.
I am not too adventurous with the nail polish but I do like black and white. Thanks for the great review here!
You’re very welcome!
The product here does look to be very good but I do get your point about the cost of shipping and the way it is wrapped for shipping. Still, it does seem to be good value for the quality.
It is a good quality brand and you just have to weigh the cost and how shipping is done versus the quality for yourself.
These look like great polishes, I haven’t heard of the brand but I am interested in trying them now thanks for sharing!

You’re very welcome. It’s an independent brand run by a YouTuber so it’s not like OPI, Revlon, or CoverGirl which you’ve probably heard of.
I love coloring my nails from time to time and it’s good to know what brands are good and which ones to avoid. I really like how the colors look on the nails. Looks like I have a new brand to try!
If you don’t paint your nails a lot then knowing which brands and shades are good and which ones should be avoided is more important for you.
I totally did that! Painted my nails with white out. Nothing got your nails pure white with out streaking like white out. I can’t wait to give this polish a try.
With the way comments were going I thought I was going to be the only one!
I actually don’t paint my nails that much (I”m way too hard on my hands) but I think this polish turned out beautifully on you! Great post!
Thank you so much!
I need to paint my nails more. I’m so bad at practicing self-care these days. This is a good reminder to buy the polish and have some fun.
I am bad about practicing self-care as well. In all honesty I’ve only been doing my nails for blog posts, I need to do them more for myself as well.
*gasps* I love Kathleen Lights and I love everything product she puts out! She’s amazing <3 Great review!
She’s been putting out great collaborations and products!
Glad to hear that you were happy with these. I don’t use nailpolish a lot an recently also learned that it’s hard to find nailpolishes that are not tested on animals, but I’ll consider this (since I like black and white) if they’re not tested on animals…Trying to take more conscious chocices.
You’re absolutely right, cruelty free (not tested on animals) polishes are very hard to find. Yes these are cruelty free polishes some other brands that have cruelty free polishes are Wet n Wild, Pacifica, Jesse’s Girl, and Urban Decay.
Wow, nice, thanks!
I think the polish looks really great – smooth and shiny and doesn’t look too streaky. I am actually getting a manicure next week and plan on painting them black!
Can’t wait to see how they look!
Your nails looks beautiful! It’s been a while since I painted my nails, I will check this kind from the store.
Thank you so much!
I was never one to tippex my nails really but love a good black polish!
A good black polish is a must in my opinion.
I’ve heard so much about this KL nail polish. Love their colora and love to try it.
Their colors are amazing!
I have never tried to apply any types or colors of a nail polish but these two colors of a nail polish look so elegant and look so easy to pair in any type of an outfit. My sister will definitely love these colors.
They really are good to have to go with anything and any kind of event.
Thanks for the great review! It’s so hard to find a white nail polish that doesn’t streak even with several coats.
I agree, I just used one from OPI that streaked like no body’s business!
The KL basic black and white nail polish look great. The shades have an exotic ring to them and should be great for nail art as well. Will share these details.
I never thought of it like that but you are exactly right, while being classic not a lot of people choose just solid black or white for polish which gives them a more exotic feel.
I am always looking for nail polish options that last long, stay shiny and don’t chip. I will look for this brand. It sounds promising!
They are a good brand!
My girls all love nail polish, we will have to try this new brand. Love these colors!
Nail polishes are a great thing to have lots of options for.
Nail polish is a hard one for me
I always find they chip and peel so quickly. I do love a good black and white polish. This slook great!
I’m on the computer a lot and wash my hands more times than the average person due to the makeup and skincare. I’ve found that a good base coat, top coat, and a quality polish help cut down on the chipping. My manicures don’t last as long as an “average” person BUT those three things help them last longer than they did before I started implementing those.
I have never tried KL, I use nail polish for crafts but never on my nails!
What crafts do you use nail polish for?
Looks like a nice brand of nail polish, and the price is right.
They are a pretty good brand.
I have never heard of KL polish and thanks for your review. I like how you list out the claim and size and price and purchase in such a way. It is clear at first glance. I always wanted to know how much as to compare to other brand. Price is always my first thing to ask! Great review and pretty straight forward and easy to read and get all the facts.
Thank you! I’m glad that the way I lay it out is actually helpful. I went with how I would want to see it when I decided how to lay out blog posts.
Nice collection..
They are great additions to the KL Polish catalog.
The product sounds great, would love to try this one myself. The outcome looks amazing too.
They are great polishes!
Wow..what a great product. I love this. I totally want to try it out too.
If you do, come back and let me know how you like it!
Looks like fun! I love nail art, you can do so many things with black and white.
Thank you! I agree that a good black polish and a good white polish can accomplish a lot of different nail art.
My son thinks I should get the Gold and do my nails although if you ask me I should pick up the pink as I liked that color a lot. Although Black would go with what I wear as I only wear black paints.
You should get the black and then get the gold or pink for an accent nail. The gold would also look good over the black as a topper if done with a light coat. And those aren’t affiliate links so you can rest assured I’m not trying to get money from you buying them 😉
I like the simple packaging on these and the logo. Sometimes I find it hard to see a colour with a lot on the packaging of a nail product. These colours look great.
I agree, sometimes busy bottles distract to much from the polish itself.
I haven’t tried white or plain black on my nails yet. But what I do love is to use it for french tips! while designing for black.
White is the classic color for french tips so you can’t go wrong with that!
