I really wanted to like this. It was thick and gloppy. Doesn't coat evenly at all and don't get me started on how it stained my fingers. Absolutely horrible. Color looks very pretty, I just wish it would work.

This is the perfect red for cool tones!


I am a blue eyed NW10 (NW20 when tanning from a bottle in the summer). This color looks AMAZING on my hands, I received so many compliments. It is now my new favorite red.
Only took 1 lippie off because it seems to chip easily : (

I am a huge nail polish fan and this colour suits my NC20 tone very well. Cherries in the Snow is a blue-based red. I would say it is a combination of fuchsia and classic red.
I got really sick of wearing classic and orangey reds, so I purchased this. I am happy with the colour but I'm finding that I'm just really over red at the moment. Recently I've been wearing crazy colours such as lilac, dark green, and aqua, so I think I'm in a phase where I'm not interested in predictable colours. This is a good "safe" colour though. If I need a nice red, I will definitely wear this shade because it is one of the best red shades I have tried. I am also happy with its quality: it's smooth and glossy. I probably wouldn't buy it again because there are so many interesting shades out there. Overall, not a bad product, not amazing.

I absolutely adore this color (both the nail polish and the lipstick, actually). BUT, the nail polish stained the heck out of my fingers. They were a bright pink for a day or two after taking it off. I've never had that happen before with other bright red/pink nail polishes, so that's why it didn't get 5 stars from me, and probably why I wouldn't personally buy it again if I ever ran out (which, let's face it, I won't).

But the overall color and application are great. For less than $5 at the drugstore, it's a pretty good product.

This is the perfect, classic pink-red polish that is the perfect counterpart to the warmer Revlon Red. I love Cherries in the Snow because it's beautiful and also because I love the retro feel of it and the happy memories it evokes (see my review of Revlon Red). It's the colour the Ya-ya sisters painted their nails on warm afternoons and swore they always would even when they were grown-ups. I think it's more pink than red and it's the perfect summer pedi.
The formula isn't great, it gets bubbly if applied too thickly or too quickly and it takes forever to dry, but quick dry top coats have really helped that. It is under $5 and frequent coupons and promos make it half that or even free. It's an American classic and I will always have a bottle around. However, if you don't have any sentimental attachment to it, interest in vintage cosmetics, or live somewhere it's expensive I would suggest that you can find another pink/red with an easier to work with formula.

What a fabulous striking 'red'. To me it is not a true red but rather a very bright raspberry shade that looks great with my fair cool skin tone. Great for any time of the year. My only complaint is that I found it a little awkward to work with - it is quite runny - but I am a little of a nail varnish phobe who tends to paint knuckles and all. A couple of coats of this varnish achieves a lovely opaque, glossy coverage. Lasts really well with a good top coat. Great for those special occastions or you just feel like cheering yourself up.

This is a very pretty color, but it's so bright that I couldn't really find an appropriate time/place to have it painted on my nails. It ended up being tossed during my recent makeup collection overhaul.

Cherries in the Snow is a perfect blue based red. I have bought countless bottles of this over the years and I will continue to buy it as long as they make it. I think this polish has been around since the 50's.

I only use this for a pedicure, never for a manicure. My toes always looks so pretty with this on. Application is smooth, the price is right and it is easy to find in Wal Mart or any drugstore.

This is a convenient color for people like me who hate red, but feel the need to have red nails for certain occasions. This color is a red but its soo pink, that it's perfect. I wouldn't say HOT pink, its not that bright or neon. This also goes great if you wanted to match it with a red/pink lipstick! Smooth application, no bubbles for me. No streaking, no sheer coats. 2 coats is enough. 1 if you're in a hurry

I love pink, berry, and purple polishes for summer pedicures, and this is one polish I keep going back to. I generally don't like red on me, but this one has so much pink in it that it works perfectly. It's VERY cool toned. It's a color that just looks really good with my cool-toned (somewhat tan) skin.
It's a rich creme shade, no frost or shimmer. I find it lasts on my toenails for about a week without chipping (no top coat).

I love this color! Revlon Cherries in the Snow is my perfect red shade. It's very 50's and does not have weird tones to it. It's a classic color and I often receive complements on it. I also find that Revlon polishes last longer than any others I've tried, including OPI.
The cons to this product are the Revlon brush tends to be too thick and you have to be careful you don't apply too much.

I have been let down by Revlon nail polish for the last time. I love the shade "Cherries in the Snow" and it is often sold out when I try to find it. It was on clearance at Target last weekend, so maybe I got an old bottle. However, it bubbled so bad that I will never, ever buy Revlon nail color again. Boo.

A rich, lovely red with cool blue tones----just as the color name implies. It's a classic. The perfect color for Valentine's Day!

The perfect red nail polish... no pink, orange, purple, or blue hints. Pure maraschino cherry red with only one coat applied. This formula lasts for a ridiculously long time (up to several months) on my toe nails without chipping. This nail polish isn't a vixen, deep red, but more of a bright and classic 50s red. I love wearing this nail polish around the winter holidays because it's the perfect "Christmas red", too. I like the size of the bottle and amount of product! This nail polish has lasted me almost four years and the formula is still as smooth as butter.

Best classic red nail polish imo. I don't even have cool-toned skin, but it looks marvelous on me. Definitely a blue-based cherry red creme- very timeless or pin-up retro. I will definitely keep purchasing this as my go-to red shade!

Price was very reasonable (under $5) and I had no problems with application. Two coats was enough for even coverage for me, and I've worn it for 2 days now without any chipping.

This is the PERFECT red on cool skin tones - meaning if you look good in pastels, this blue red will look great on you. I've tried Revlon Red, which is a yellow-red, and it looked like I barfed on my own hands - warm tones are awful on me. Can't go wrong with this classic shade or the price!

Would I buy it agaqin? I think I've had a bottle of this in my core collection for abouty 18 years! Not the same bottle I hasten to add!

For me it's a cherry red and I love it! I am not, and never have been, totally wild about the Revlon brushes, but that doesn't stop me buying it!

Looks equally good on tips or toes and I think it's just a classic!
