I really like this color! I'm wearing it now on my toes and it is really pretty. It is a deep shimmery garnet, ruby color with hint of dark, golden brown that shines like mad. The nail technician applied it with lots of top coat to really make the shimmer pop and the color look rich and BOY! it is pretty. A day or two after my pedi, I took off my tennis shoes at my job (nurse). Everybody stopped and complimented the color and asked for the name of it. The only reason why I won't buy it again is because I have so much NP it is ridiculous. I only got this because it was a freebie for mu ULTA rewards, but I am loving it!

Color: *very* dark burgundy with a hint of brown. More on the neutral/warm side. Unfortunately, I could only detect the shade in brighter light. Otherwise it looked (to me) almost black.

Application: Very good. Opaque. A bit thick.

Wear: It seemed to chip more easily than other OPI polishes.

Overall a nice color, but nothing unique or special. I like dark vampy shades, but I like to be able to see them. :)

My go-to polish these days. Looks best on short nails. Beautiful color that looks a little different on everybody. Long lasting with a top coat. Probably my favorite OPI color to date (even over Waitress, which has been my favorite for years!)

Its my first OPI polish and I love it! Using their brush wasn't as easy as I expected it but I am probably just not used to it. But the colour is to die for !!!! So rich and beautiful. Red micro shimmer makes the polish look so deep especially with a shiny top coat.It a deep burgundy that is perfect for fall/winter. It also makes my hands look so neat! I had a chip after 2 full days of wear but it could also be because my nails are so weak. It could have been the nails that got chipped not the polish. I recommend this beautiful vampy classy color!!

It looks the best when it is in ourdoor or in certain lights because the beautiful shimmmer will show up. However, in indoor lights, it is just blackened/brown purple. I won't buy this product again.

Gorgeous.


Dramatic.


Sexy. Dark. Smoldering.


I love this blackened, shimmery, deep royal red. I can't do bright classic reds, I look clown like. This is soooo yummy and elegant on long or short nails. Color is true to pictures.


Don't hesitate.


I'm well over forty, have very fair skin, and this does not age my hands or look cheap or unflattering.


Think you'll love it.


Edited to add: Sephora by OPI's "I'm With Brad" is exactly the same color, but about two-three shades blacker. Otherwise the same.


If you want less black at a few less dollars, get this one.


More black and a bit more expensive, get "I'm With Brad" at Sephora.

This is an excellent color. One of OPI's best. I had this color in mind at my last manicure, but was in such a hurry I misjudged "Midnight in Moscow" as a reasonable duplicate. How wrong I was. A tobacco black/brown with shimmer, not the gorgeous ruby red shimmer I was after. I had to run to "Trade Secret" and be able to sort through the racks. Much better atmosphere:) "Royal Rajah Ruby" is a lovely, true burnt ruby red with the most delicate shimmer. I real bombshell color, very Dita Von Teese. I typically wear nail color only on my toes and this makes my pedicure look very sophisticated and (pardon the pun) polished. :)

This was my 1st OPI polish that I got from a friend of mine, and she really got the color right for me. It's really a dark, dark red, almost brown with much red shimmer (as someone discribed it like this before).

Maybe I haven't used it so much, but my mom also loves it, it's her favorite OPI. :D
