I bought this polish back in 2002 (10 years ago eeek) and back then opi had matching lipsticks I also bought the lippie that I have long since thrown. It was pretty thick and goopy but 6 drops of nail lacquer thinner and it's better than new, just done a mani and can't believe why I stopped wearing it! It's an awesome dark berry red that's bright enough not to be vampy and the fine shimmers keep it looking more interesting than a creme polish on my nails. Great colour for the season (currently autumn here in Australia). I will deff buy again if it's still available, I must admit its been a wee while since I visited an OPI stand!

A perfect deep red for my darker Asian skin tone.
In the photo on MUA it looks like it has pink tones to it but in reality it's a deep red, almost burgundy in colour. I love the subtle shimmer
It does streak a bit but this is fixed by applying a second coat. Alternatively, I get a big dollop on the end of the brush (I dip it in then don't bother to wipe off the excess on the edge of the bottle) and apply it. This way, it's not quite as dark as applying two coats but you still get a fairly opaque colour with minimal streaks.

I love berry colors in polish, but this color is sooo ugly and tacky looking. I can't stand the frost element it has, it makes the color harsh and cheap looking. It's definitely hooker like. OPI has better berry tones than this one.

The perfect deep red! It kind of looks pink on the picture but it is definitely red with pink and brown undertones. I just love it! Very easy to apply (two coats for a matte effect), I wish it wasn't so expensive in Europe though!

Love, love this polish! The colour is exactly what I had in mind for a darker red, the consistency is great, the brush is to die for, and the lasting power is unparalleled. I do have issues with chipping, but only sometimes. Some days it would stay for weeks without problems, but other times, it would start falling off in large chunks a few days after I put it on. Maybe it's my application?
Another thing I'm half on the fence about is the way you can /almost/ get away with only one coat, but under the light, I can see spots of lightness. Two coats is my default, but it's hard to make this polish really thin due to the consistency.

Beautiful colour! Just wish the smell wasn't so strong. I love OPI colour, however I wish they were more chemical free like Essie or Butter London.

It never fails, even when i try something different i always end up going back to this color. I have used this for over 15 years! It is my absolute favorite color of red & i always get compliments when i wear it. I almost alwaysvhave this on my toes! It goes with pretty much everything. Its not so orangey and ugly like "no im not a waitress" Love love love it! continued >>

This may be my perfect 'red'. As the name states it's a little bit berry-ish. Indoors it looks just like a deep vampy red, outside in natural lighting it looks like a berry-red. Definitely still red, but with berry tones.
I don't like bright reds, I think they look horrible with my skin so I've always enjoyed the deeper reds. This one is perfect for me, maybe because of the berry undertone to it. It just seems like it would be a very flattering 'red' for any skin tone.
This is not a cream finish (which I typically prefer). The shimmer in it is very subtle though and I find it works really well with this polish. It's sort of a gold shimmer and provides just a little more depth. What I like about cream finishes is that it makes the polish seem more sophisticated and classy. This one manages to achieve that classy look but still keeps it kind of fun. :)
Quality is typical OPI quality. I believe mine lasted for a week with topcoat.
OH! Before I forget! If you're looking for a nice red nail polish for the holidays, give this one a shot. The color + the slight shimmer makes this just perfect.

I like this color, but it's not really a true deep "red." In almost all lighting, it looks more like a dark reddish-purple than a true dark red. It could be because I'm warm-toned, but this color simply doesn't look red on me.
Pretty at the Première is still the best deep/dark shimmery red by OPI. Maybe if I mix BB with INRAW, the color will come out looking more red than red-purple.

Very beautiful deep red shimmer. Im around a NW25. Nice fall/winter color. Great application and staying power.

Love this color! I took a chance, trying it out end of summer, rather than waiting until fall, but it works even with summer colors. It's such a rich, beautiful red. I agree, it's not vampy, it's not trampy, it's just luxurious. Took 3 coats to get a really good color application, but no other complaints. I'll be buying the full size when I run out of the mini bottle.
It looks purple on the Opi site, it is not purple. It's definitely red/berry.
Bummer, I had to knock off a star. Haven't been out of bed for even 2 hours and it's already chipped.

GORGEOUS color. A red with a slight black tint, not vampy but just plain amazing. Would totally buy again if I could find it.

It's such a bright red with a hint of black. A vibrant color that has a very consistent following. Very in touch with fall. The formula requires 2-3 coats to have that consistent color. It's OPI so it wears well.

I am surprised with this color. When I look at the bottle, I think it's nothing very specail. Looks like another velvet color. After I put it on my nails, Bogota Blackberry just come alive. This color is red, but not too deep. I can see it has some black tone in it that's why the red is a bit like its name "Bogota Blackberry". The application is so smooth that it applies like breeze. The shimmer is very pretty and I can see some very fine red glitter in the polish. A good top coat can really make it look very shiny.
This color is a perfect fall/winter color as it's not too vampy. It does remind me of the coat of vampire though. The red is just really gorgeous without looking too "royal". And it's elegant enough for evening out. I am so happy that I got this color and finally try it. This color is not hard to find and if you can get one, go and grab it.

Great color! As others have said not too red, not too burgandy, not too dark! Great in the fall with darker colors! Great as well as a slighty vamp-y color!

This is the best dark red colour out there. I've tried so many reds and they are either too dark, too bright, too vampy or too metallic. This is a great deep red, not too dark, not too red. Last forever too. The colour on the OPI website is not representative at all- it looks way less purple in real life.

Got this on sale at a local salon, was looking for a nice dark red which I wouldn't normally wear, and this looked perfect. It's really nice! Put two coats on then a topcoat, it's a beautiful burgundy red, not too bright, not too dark. Good fall or holiday red. Would buy again!

This is one of OPIs original "famous" colors...you don't hear about it so much anymore but you should, this is gorgeous! Its a burgundy red color that just perfect, its not to red and its not to dark or blacked either. I find it hard to wear super bright cherry retro red shades, they just clash with my clothes but BB solves my problem perfectly because it suggests red but its really a wearable burgundy. It could also suggest vampy but without the blackness too. App and wear are flawless as usual for OPI. Awesome polish.
