Barbara Daly's Wicked is just that shot.
Often with darker lacquers, they look great in the bottle but either come out looking somewhat insipid and/or so dark that you can't really see the depth.
There is no such issue with Wicked. It comes out exactly as it looks in the bottle - a beautiful, deep, velvety purple brown. The nail wreck you see above - entirely operator error. I may or may not have been drinking when doing this manicure.
The formula is just perfection. Glides on easily, opaque in two coats, high shine. It doesn't get much better than this.
