Great wine/red nail color. I usually wear this at the start of fall. Great dark but not too dark color. I think there are a lot of colors that are similiar, but in IMO OPI just does it right with their colors. There's no weird undertones, it is what I expect it to be.

A dark wine. OPIs do seem to last longer than ordinary polishes, but I think a lot depends on.. how old the polish is, and the skill of your manicurist. I had a similar color done last year and it chipped quite easily. I did it again this year and it stayed on for ages. In my case, it was the manicurist..
Anyways, it's similar to Romeo and Juliet but is slightly cooler. Less warm, less brown, more purple.

My 1st OPI n/p and couldn't have picked a better shade, exactly what i was looking for when i got Chanel Barcelona Red, too light for my idea. This is just a perfect dark red, the exact cherish shade. The texture is perfect, really easy to blend on nail surface; let's see how it lasts because i just applied it so no idea how that goes.(excuse my freezing hands)

This is a great vampy color! On my skin tone, it is more borwinish red than purple. I am a neutral-toned PPP, and this looks dark and rich without looking too goth. The wear on this color is fantastic.

Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ NLW44 is a beautiful dark burgundy creme.
Indoors this is a plummy, blood wine color but in sunlight there are deep red tones.
This is a gorgeous, classic, sophisticated color on me. One of my favorites.
I'm a cool PPP fair/lt.brown/blue-grey.

BBQ is such a lovely muted, brown-based, reddish, plumwine shade - but imo, it's just not very lovely w/my skintone - for reference, I'm currently wearing 1 Warm in Aromaleigh Voile foundation. A base coat, 2 color coats, and a clear top coat gave me the same color that I see in the bottle. I guess I just prefer the clear, less muted shades like Marooned on the Mag Mile, 25 Again, Romeo and Joliet, etc. I gave it 5 lippies anyway because worn against the right skintone, I'm sure it's wonderful. Funny thing though - I wore it to a holiday gathering and I received 4 compliments on it (3 from women and 1 from a guy) - so I guess other people do like it on me.

This shade is more or less exactly what I was looking for, colour-wise: dark wine red, warm toned but not too brown. It looks great on my tips and as long as I wear my nails short, it's more chic than vamp. However, the application is a bit tricky and uneven, and the colour doesn't last without chipping. (OK I haven't tried yet wearing it with a good top coat). I don't think this is the colour of bbq sauce, it's definitely a dark red on me. I love it for winter, but when I run out of this I'll probably try something else again.

This color is definitely not for pale, cool-toned types. I'm a neutral NC25 myself but I also have olive-toned skin, green veins, and my hands are at least a shade darker than my face so this color was PERFECT for me. I really don't like color on my manis but I was getter very bored with my usual YNBB manis so I got MOBBQ thinking it would give me a shot of color without being garish or bold. So far this is the only vampy shade I feel comfortable wearing to work (conservative law firm...ZZzzzZZZzz) because it's actually quite understated. It looks chic and modern and compliments my coloring instead of standing out as COLOR on my fingernails. Wear with short, square-shaped nails and you can't go wrong. I always get one or two compliments a day when I wear this color =) I also love that it's a creme, which makes it even more work-appropriate. I personally wouldn't call this shade a red or even a red family shade. It's more of a warm plummy brown. Definitely a fall staple for me--too bad I'm too lazy to wear this color more often. Dark polish manis require more precise application and maintainence :(

This is a really pretty deep marroon/plum/barbecue color. I'm not quite ready for the black polish trend, so this is a nice way to ease my way into darker colors. I love it on my toes but I *really* love it on my hands. I've had this color for a while, I wish I had given it a try sooner. Normally I am in a huge hurry to change polish colors because I get bored quickly, but not with this color. Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ is from OPI's 2005 fall/winter Chicago collection. I think this has the most creative name from that collection :)

Classic dark burgundy creme. The red tones are more obvious in sunlight, otherwise this looks more brown-based in indoor lighting. Hope this doesn't offend the faint-hearted - but the colour this looks exactly like pools of fake movie blood. Lasts well, didn't streak on me, but took a long time to dry throughly. If you love dark nails, this is for you.

The VERY sweet mdmbutterfly369 RAOKed this wishlist polish to me simply because I was asking about the color on the boards!!!!!! I am SO grateful because it is EXACTLY what I was looking for/what I hoped it would be!!!!! One of the most amazing things about this color is that it works well with my warm, yellow undertones skin tone which I was hoping for but was not expecting!!!!! I imagine it would look amazing on PPPs and warm tones as well since it works on my warm skin tone!!! I really LOVE this and would/will repurchase :D If you can get this one, I HIGHLY recommend it; it's PERFECT for fall and winter!!!!!

Sounds horrid but as my dear ol' dad quipped when I was flashing him my new MOLBBQ nails, it looks like liver. Lovely, bloody burgundy creme that dries to a glossy finish. It is absolutely beautiful and works so well with my warm, yellow-toned skin. My only reason for docking it a point is that it was a bit streaky. I'll try it again sometime - maybe my application skills were just a bit wanting that day. But full points for the colour...lighter than OPI's A Man in Every Port-ugal and every bit as gorgeous.

I will not repurchase this. The colous is too flat. I was not impressed.

This shade is a deep vampy plum, with a hint of red in it. It doesn't look purple though because of the depth of the shade. The polish has a glossy creme finish, and wore quite well for a few days before it chipped. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is because as far as Vampy Cremes go OPI A Man in Every Port-ugal still has my heart. It's a lovely shade with a cute name, and if you like vampies try it out!

This is too bright and it didn't remind me of bbq at all. Since when did bbq come in a bright red-purple? It's was too flat and the color just didn't do anything for me. I won't buy this again.

The perfect shade on both tips and toes, but I do love it on toes because it's dark but not too vampy - it's amazingly understated for such a bold colour. BBQ sauce is a good start for describing the colour, but I'd add a little red - like a splash of cherry syrup - into the mix. Makes my toes look very polished but edgy, and I like how it doesn't seem to chip at all!

Do not like this. It is the exact color of BBQ sauce. Cute name, but once that wears off you're essentially left with BBQ sauce on your toes, which is not all that flattering for cool PPP skin.

A great glossy OPI finish on this dark burgundy creme. However, I don't find it all that unique. I also find that I need 3 coats to get the full-on rich color, as with fewer coats it tends to look quite red and slightly uneven in the sunlight. I find that this is brighter than Chanel Vamp and Revlon Vixen.
A good quality polish, but nothing new if you already own a few vampy reds.

Two layers of this color looks similar to Chanel Rouge Noir on me, only a tad less ''black cherry'' but more ''warm brown cherry'' if that makes sense. I am NW20 although my hands have some pink in them. Not a very unique color but a great classy look on short nails. Goes with everything in my wardrobe except maybe for some pastels.
As always this OPI polish is a dream to apply and stays on quite well. (I must say that with these darker colors, I add an additional layer of topcoat almost every day to prevent chips.)
I updated this review after wearing this polish for a second round and upped the score to 5 lippies. Just love it!
