Most flattering red-orange I've ever found. I've worn it all summer on my toes. I must have gotten a good batch as I'm getting great coverage with two coats,and almost no chipping. Thanks to the reviewer who mentioned the lipstick dupe. I'm getting it!!

I love this color! I have a lot of oranges and corals, I can't resist buying them, and when I saw this one in a discount package of four polishes, I decided to get it. I only paid $6 for the pack, $1.50 each color, so I'm not too-too put out about how this polish under-performs.

First, it's a hair too sheer, and requires three coats to really look good. Strike one, I don't like doing more than two coats. Second, it takes quite a long time to dry completely, in comparison to other bargain formulas, strike two. Third, even under my workhorse topcoat Sally Hansen Mega Shine, it chipped the very next morning. Chipped and peeled in huge flakes. I don't expect to get a week's worth of wear out of my polishes, but 48-72 hours is a reasonable expectation. Strike three, it's out.

Oh also, I hate, hate, hate, how cheap that plastic cap is on the Revlon polish bottles. Revlon is a national brand that asks upwards of $5 for it's polishes, it's packaging should reflect that. I'd really like it if they went to a wider brush and slightly rubberized cap like Sally Hansen Complete did. Having said *all that*, I love the color passionately. If I could find an exact dupe for it in a better brand, like OPI, I'd drop the $8-$10 in a heartbeat and keep re-buying it when it ran out.

This is the second Revlon polish heartbreak I've had, and I've pretty much vowed to never spend more than $2 on a bottle of Revlon until they fix their cheap, chippy formula. I'll stick to Sally Hansen Complete when I can get it, it's actually worth the money.

I bought this bright, orange-coral cream after wanting to replicate some of the nail polish shades on Mad Men. This is a beautiful color and is opaque in two coats. I used the with Revlon basecoat and Seche Vite and it lasted five days before any chips became apparent. Revlon polishes have a great formula and this is a great shade if you're looking for something retro.

Didn't see the red-tones in this coral-orange until I randomly decided to pair it with China Glaze's Sun Worshiper. It certainly is a red-tinted coral-orange shade. The perfect pedicure color for summer. Doesn't go on fully opaque even after 4 to 5 coats. That can be fixed by using an opaque base coat like the Butter London base coat. Looks great with orange-based yellows like the previously mentioned China Glaze Sun Worshiper. Mines was a little sticky, but I did buy it heavily discontinued at Ross. Maybe it was an old bottle, because none of my other Revlon polishes are sticky. I would purchase again.

This has been my go-to NP since I bought it way back when in January. It is the perfect orangey-red-coral for the summer, though I'll definitely be wearing this well into winter! I have dozens of NP but I never get tired of this one. I've pretty much worn this exclusively on my toes for the past 9 months and it lasts a solid 3 weeks. On fingers it lasts 5 days with a proper base/top coat. It has a fairly liquidy texture and the Revlon brushes aren't my favorite but I can usually get away with 2 coats, sometimes 3. It looks amazing on shorter and longer nails. I hope they never discontinue this color because it has become my signature! For ref I'm NC25

Best Red I have ever seen on my hands!!! Feels so glamorous, not skanky or trying too hard. Polished, personality red. LOVE!!! *note: seems like a dupe for OPI Cajun Shrimp* also: lipstick version of this color is Revlon's Hot Coral in the Moondrops line

This is a bright reddish orange color that I picked up on a whim, and b/c I do not own/wear many red colors. This one is good for me b/c it's more corally (as the name suggests), not toooo bright red, which I kind of associate with tackyness. Others seem to think this is a good summery color, and I definitely agree, but I think it's also a good seasonal (winter) color was well. Love it, would definitely buy again! The formula is decent and well pigmented, doesn't apply as sheer as other Revlon polishes I've used in the past.

This color makes me feel so like a forties film star, at least from the wrists down. It is beyond awesome, and with a tan, becomes almost decadent. I like how the formula glides on so smoothly and is easy to apply. However, after 3 coats, towards the end of the same day the ends of my nails are already wearing off. Definitely need a top coat with this one.

This is a beautiful coral color that is perfect for Summer. I do find it a bit thin and slightly streaky so I needed 3 coats. This is very similar to my HG OPI Monsooner or Later. No shimmer. Wears well. Got it pretty cheap in a BOGOF so I'm happy. Haven't worn Revlon nail polish for 20 years but may try more now.

It goes awesome with my skin tone, I have warm, medium olive skin. The consistency is very good, I only had to apply 1 coat.

Love this, I too was a big fan of OPI/Essie, but I have been exclusively buying Revlon for a few months now. This red coral color looks perfect with my warm tan skin tone (NC 35, South Asian). I'm just a bit disappointed that I got this close to the end of the summer thus I could not fully utilize it! Perfect pedicure color, love it on my hands as well. Definitely check out Revlon's nail polish, all you really need is a good top coat like seche vite, and your polish will last a decent amount of time.

I love Revlon so much more than OPI. They wear longer, are half the price, and Revlon does not test on animals. This polish is a lovely bright orange-red and it is jsut as good as my other revlon polishes. Love.

Totally agree with the reviewer who said maybe even better than OPI. I can't believe I haven't tried these polishes before! I am quite pale and normally only wear neutral shades on my hands, but this color looks great and wears great! I've gotten many compliments on it. I will definitely be looking for more revlon polishes.

I'm usually an OPI fan but I love these Revlon polishes! I bought this one and black lingerie and I love them. I think they even last longer than my OPI ones. The color is great...its like an orange-red. Its bright, opaque and dries quickly.

A great colour for summer - a nice change from all the dark hues I've worn over winter. Both on fingers and toes, this is a lovely bright - but not too bright - orange-red with no discernible shimmer (at least as far as I can detect). I bought this as the 3rd product of a 3-for-2 offer and I've worn it far more than the other 2 polishes, which probably says it all. Highly recommend.

A vivid but not day-glo orange-red for summer. I don't see any shimmer in it. Perfect for a summer pedicure.
