Kester Black earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers vibrant, chip‑resistant vegan nail polishes for some—Jungle Gym and Black Rose draw praise—yet many report lipsticks that feel dry, crack, and fade quickly, plus polishes that peel within days. Reviews of Kester Black highlight appealing ethics and clean aesthetics but flag inconsistent color accuracy and performance, along with concerns about misleading marketing.

  • I absolutely love every product I purchased. The lippy is such a flattering colour & lasts all day long. It is so easy to apply & I don't need lip liner. The serum, nail care & cleansing balm are excellent. Gentle on the skin & they don't leave a mess. I am seeing beneficial outcomes from all of these products & they didn't cost an arm & a leg.

  • Very drying on lips. If you put moisturiser on top or under lipstick it becomes a sticky mess and is no longer non transferable. In other words it comes off everywhere. Also, forget about them honouring 30 day returns! Regret purchasing from Kester Black

  • If only I had read these reviews before purchasing Kester Black lipstick it would have saved me money!!! The colour was not what I was expecting and it made my lips so dry and pasty looking. My husband said I looked like a clown.😢

  • Not big on nail polish these days, but when the urge arises, it will be Kester Black. They have a not-too-humble array of shades, both classic and some, a little off kilter. My pick is Petal, an inoffensive neutral with a touch of mauve. It's a smooth formulation to apply. Easy to remove as well. Yes, there are likely many other nail polishes that would do a similar job, but this one ticks some other boxes that make it a better choice than much of its competition. Cruelty Free, B Corporation, Halal, Vegan, and Carbon Neutral. Does your nail varnish meet all the aforementioned criteria? Perhaps it should.

    I have found the lid/applicator thingamajig can get a bit sticky but I am prone to screwing the lid on real tight so, in all likelihood, it's just a user issue. Nail polish noob alert.
