I really like this color, but not more than other reds. I don't think I would buy this again.

I really love this nail lacquer, it's the perfect red for my skin (pale with yellow undertones.) The slight shimmer also keeps it from looking boring, but it's by NO means a frost (yuck!) The deep berry doesn't come off as vampy for me, and I love how it almost seems to have a chocolate/maroon undertone. The pic above doesn't quite match the real life look of the polish, it's not really that pink. I only really wear this particular shade during the holidays... Sometimes I'll wear it on my toes, but it's primarily a holiday polish for me.
The polish itself applies great but I find two coats suits me, as all my OPI polishes seem to require two coats... Meh, it could be worse.
The only thing I'm not liking about OPI is the staying time, every time I polish my nails with an OPI polish I'm lucky to get 3 days without chipping... Sometimes chipping occurs the same day! Uugh! Perhaps OPI should think about perfecting their formula?
It is a lovely shade and it applies very nicely. Any streaking is corrected by the second coat. I'd definitely buy again, I just like the color so much!

Of all my OPI polishes, this one goes on the easiest and smoothest. Unlike some shimmery polishes, the brush strokes are not very visible - huge bonus. I get very even and opaque application with two coats. Very fast drying for me. And of course the colour is gorgeous!

Bogota Blackberry is the kind of red you see when you order a really nice glass of red wine. It's a deep red with minimal glitter and a slightly matte finish. It's definitely not as shiny/glittery/frosty as I'm Not Really A Waitress and doesn't apply quite as well. You definitely need two coats to achieve the best hue and a top coat to increase shine. But it's a gorgeous colour overall and I actually do prefer this over I'm Not Really A Waitress.

This applies like a dream, and looks great on my fair skin with yellow undertones. I just tried it for the first time, I bought it when I went in for I'm Not Really a Waitress, but that one just didn't do it for me. I love Bogota Blackberry, and I've repurchased very few nail polishes, but this one is a contender. I have a feeling I won't have to very soon though, as this is a very thin polish, and OPI's shimmers typically stay thin longer than creams or pale shades.

This is a deep berry color, but not so dark as to be vampy. On me it’s more of a rosy/wine shade than true red. Has a subtle shimmer that is great for a summer or fall pedi. Looks like this color has been around for years but I just discovered it – it caught my eye among a very large selection of OPI shades on display. Though it is nice enough to buy again, there are so many OPI colors I prefer to have fun trying new ones for my toes.

I love this color! Doesn't look like the picture - it is darker, berry color with shimmer (not frost). I am very fair, but it doesn't look harsh on me.

I love this deep blackberry color. OPI is my favorite brand of nail polish, it stays on better than any of the cheaper brands.

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!

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.

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.
