In some lighting it looks sort of dark, slightly vampy, a bit like a blood red to me but in daylight it’s bright. In fact I didn’t like it so much at first. In natural light it became very red that it made my hands look pale and lifeless, slightly old too. I pondered whether I actually wanted to keep wearing this one out but I had no time to take it off.

The lighting at work really helps change my mind about a lot of shades. It turned out to be alright the more I looked at it. Guess it had to be one of them shades I have to face long enough to see the beauty of.

It actually didn’t stain my nails so much. Now that’s a surprise even though it really doesn’t affect me so much whether it did or not. I thought I’d just mention it. Your fingers will end up as a hot mess if you’re one to swirl the cotton pad over your nails though.  I just couldn’t be careful enough with the cleanups because I’d end up loading my brush with a little too much of acetone and whilst cleaning it’ll make the polish bleed over my cuticles. I stopped just in case I made things worse.

What's the favourite red polish you own? Would you purchase this polish?
