LOVE LOVE LOVE this colour. It's a true, rich, blue-brown (slightly dark) red. It looks lovely on most skin tones, I'd imagine, but it makes my med-tan NC40 Indian skin hands look so so sexy. I will be sticking to OPI because of the quality-- it can go without a basecoat and still lasts; it can go without a topcoat and still shines. It is on the pricier side but is totally worth it. Will take two coats to give a rich lovely look.

i like the color but i find for some reason, this one goes on quite thin and watery. i love OPI and every now and then come across a color that does this. weird. i have to put on multiple coats to get it not to be watery or streaky looking.

Kangarooby is from the Australian Collection in 2007. This color is creme, ruby red with a slight blue/brown undertone. Under lights, it looks it has a bit of purple berry color.

The application is good. Because I have big nail bed, it applies thin and after two coats, still find it uneven. I put 3 coats and can still see some part of my nails are lighter than the other. Not particularly unique. I probably won't repurchase this color again.

A dark ruby red with brownish undertones. The perfect red for my skintone. It really makes my hands and skintone look gorgeous. It consistency is awesome. Not too thick, not too runny. Opaque in 2 coats. I find OPI consistency is different for every color. I like this red bc its not too blue based and it's not too orangey of a red either. It's my boyfriend's favorite nailpolish on me and he has complimented me on this color multiple times w.o knowing it's the same color.

This is a strong dark red that is suitable for formal occasions but might be too dark for a daily occasion. I wouldn't buy this again only because I'm usually in more casual wear and athletic gear, and it stands out too much. The creamy opaqueness is nice though!

This is a very wearable burgundy nail polish. I only only put on one coat and it is dark enough for me. The colour is probably more suitable for autumn/winter wear but I simply don't care and wear it in the summer anyway.

It is easy to apply. Goes on smooth. OPI really deserves the good reputation it has. It is a high quality, easy to wear long lasting nail polish.

my favourite cool tone red polish so far! it's gorgeous on the fingers, making my light olive hands look so fair -- and for an asian, that's definitely a plus. really feminin colour, goes on perfectly at one coat for a vivid bright red and two coats for a much deeper red. wears well (although didn't last 7 days but enough for me... as i get tired of one colour easily and need changing constantly). thumbs up!

A rich deep slightly brown-toned vampy dark red. No shimmer, but rather a glossy creme finish. I initially thought it was too brown for my taste however when I went outside and saw it in proper lighting I absolutely adored it. I find it an extremely sophisticated and chic color. I will be repurchasing :)

As someone who has never liked red nail polish, I fell for this like a preppy girl falling for a goth. I never understood why I didn't like red nail polish until I put it on my toenails. It was instant attraction, even my mom likes it and she never wears red...awesome colour

Kangarooby might be my favorite OPI polish second to Bubble Bath. It's a beautiful ruby red and looks perfect with 2 coats. I don't know what it is about Kangarooby, but it's the only polish I've ever worn that hasn't chipped on the second day. I'm on day 4 of wearing it on my tips, and we have zero chips. My nails still look as good as they did on day 1. I just bought this polish, but I expect I'll get more use out of it as summer turns into fall.

I picked up OPI Kangarooby a couple days ago while it was marked down 60%...I do love a deal-especially on OPIs, as they retail for around $8USD a bottle! Kangarooby is a deep, rich ruby red with definite brown undertones. I compare this unique red to a deeper SH Oriental Red. I applied two coats, and achieved a perfect glossy finish. I noticed that this particular OPI color can streak, so a few coats are necessary to get that opaque bottle finish. The pro-wide brush is still somewhat annoying, but I am learning to work with it regardless of its ridiculously wide size. Consistency is typical OPI--which to me is perfect. =D I have included a couple of quick pics to give an ideal of what you will get with 2 coats of Kangarooby...keep in mind, I have added my beloved Revlon TC sealant (gives an extra glossy finish) LOVE!!!!

A very mature colour, perfect for work, a serious colour, that is deep and luscious. Very indulgent, great colour when you want to have that perfect polished look.

Kangarooby is a deep, red creme with a little bit of a brown undertone and a nice glossy finish. It has a classic look that would be suitable for work or a date. This is great for a fall/winter pedicure, but also very wearable for a manicure. It looks nice against my fair, cool skin, but is flattering for many different skintones.

This is darker that dark red, more of a burgundy. It's a wonderful color for the summer-into-fall transition period.

Kangarooby is a deep, glossy red creme with the slightest hint of brown. I find it smoldering rather than blatantly sexy (for that, I turn to brighter reds like OPI Quarter of a Cent Cherry), making it a great choice for work. I think this would look fab on short nails and a tailored, yet feminine power suit. The formula is thick, so it's a bit tricky to apply smoothly. Great coverage at 2 coats. I don't think I'll rebuy because I'd choose OPI Malaga Wine over Kangarooby as my go-to deep red, but I'll definitely enjoy my bottle while it lasts!

I originally did not like this color too much but tried it again and I like it this time around. Kangarooby is a dark brownish red on me and has a hi-gloss finish.

My favorite of the twelve shade Australian inspired collection, Kangarooby is a juicy deep berry-plum-red creme. A first glance of the bottle I thought this would be too cool-toned for warm-neutral me (NC30-35), but I think it's neutral enough to work and it is seriously just gorgeous on my toes. When I'm through my string of job interviews I'll indulge in doing a mani with this shade.

Kangarooby is the perfect red for me. I didn't like Malaga Wine on me but this one is just right - I don't know what it has more or less of tone wise. But Kangarooby is that bloody vampire type red - in fact I have been searching for a replacement for a drugstore cheapy polish I used to love called Vampire and this is it. Makes my hands look elegant and glamourous and very "Snow White". Absolutely made up with this - HG red for sure and would definitely repurchase. Trying to resist the urge to buy a back up!

Kangarooby is a beautiful deep cranberry-red cream. Applies like a dream, opaque in 2 coats. I'm wearing this on my tips right now, and it's great, but it would be an even greater pedicure color. Heard this is very similar to OPI Prune Danish. I'll be hanging on to this one. (I'm fair-skinned, slightly warm, FYI.)
