I can't believe I'm the only one out there who really didn't like this color, but I guess I'll be the voice of dissent...I was sold on it because of the reviews and because I thought it would be a red with bronze shimmer. On me, it doesn't have a trace of red at all, it's all bronze and it's very metallic, like the look of a copper pipe but on my nails. ;p I was disappointed that it wasn't how it looked in the bottle and the application was hard and streaky due to the frost. The frosty metallic finish looked really dated to me and the brownish gold bronze color wasn't flattering. I am warm and very pale for reference.

I don't reach for this color too often. But it's beautiful nonetheless. It's a gorgeous shimmery brick red color. Depending on the lighting, sometimes it looks more coppery and other times more red.
The shimmer is very dense and classy. And it goes on non-streaky.

This color looks good on fingers and toes. It is a dark copper shade with hints of brown and red with a bit of shimmer. Perfect for autumn.

I painted my nails about 10 minutes ago with this and it's LOVE. This color reminds me of a brand new penny, but just a couple shades darker copper. Like every other China GLaze I've tried so far this applies good coverage with just one coat. This is a color I'm going to use a lot!

I have really thin nails that are prone to peeling, so finding a polish that will 1) last a long time, and 2) bolster my nails is really difficult. Then I found China Glaze - problem solved! This stuff not only doesn't chip, but it hardens my nails so they don't peel or crack. Application is smooth, and the polish stays glossy for days. And on top of everything else, the colors are fab! I picked up a bottle of Hippie Chic, a beautiful gold/bronze/red that looks great on this warm PPP. This is the ultimate autumn/winter color for me. Would definitely repurchase.

Hate to ruin the 100% buy-it-again rating this polish has, but I don't think this is a such a great color that it merits a 5-lipstick rating. Doesn't have enough depth for me. Also, I would not categorize this as a red at all--it's pure bronze to me. Definitely toward the brown/orange side of colors. Overall a nice polish and a "nice" color.

A gorgeous rust red. Very bronzey IMO with subtle gold shimmer. I had issues applying this color and it could have been that I was in a hurry but I had to redo two of my nails. It wasn't very smooth and it seemed like I either had too much or not enough on my brush. I really like the color so I'm going to give it another try and then I'll update my review.

This is a gorgeous, metallicy bronzed red. It has gold microshimmer laced throughout and it really warms the polish up. This is one of my new favourite reds (and that's saying a lot since I own plenty!). China Glaze's quality is comparable to, if not better than OPI's. One coat covers well, and is streak-free and two coats gives it depth and a nice glossy finish. I can't say enough good things about this colour! It's a must have.

Gorgeous spicy rust-red with very subtle shimmer. Can't help thinking that this would look utterly fantastic on a redhead.

A gorgeous bronzy shimmery red, perfect for fall. Not so loud that you can't wear it on your tips. I'm really impressed with this my first China Glaze n/p, I've only bought OPI before and I think this applies (and wears) just as well or better. Just beautiful.
