Great true red color, very bright and eye-catching. Good staying power. Will keep re-purchasing.

This is hands down my favourite red polish of all time! It is a gorgeous, vibrant, bright candy apple red. If you are looking for that perfect bright red creme than look no further! Application is amazing! I use 2 coats with a top and base coat (also opi) it staying power is also amazing! I remember when I wore this for the first time I had to do some face painting at work the next day (I work in child care) and thought my perfect home manicure would be ruined but it was still absolutely perfect! And stayed that way for about week until I experienced minor tipwear and natural nail growth. The only downside is with all opi polishes they can be expensive (20 bucks here in Australia) but if you buy online (I bought this polish online from mbeautylounge.com with another 10 polishes) it cost me about $5-$6 online. But you what I would pay full price for this polish if I had to I love it so much! :)

I recently went to salon while on vacation and had my nails done with this shade of red nail polish. I had seen it many times before in stores but didn't think it would work well with my skin tone.

I generally get OPI's Affair in Red Square or I'm Not Really A Waitress when I am looking for a red. Affair is a brighter red with shimmer, Waitress is a darker red with shimmer. But the salon was out of both so I selected this one. It is a classic red creme polish with no shimmer. Af first I wasn't sure that I would like it but after a couple of days, it grew on me and I did get lots of compliments on it.

It seems to be a universal shade as I have seen it on fair, medium and dark skin.

Great warm toned red, excellent coverage with just two coats. This shade is retro, old Hollywood glamour.

I was skeptical about BAR at first. I'm a BIG fan of red nail polishes but warm reds are not my thing normally.
I fell for the hype and luckily the hype was completely true!
I wouldn't call it a classy red but it's SO fun and cheerful, like toy reds, very happy and pretty. I'd recommend two coats.
As always I love the OPI brush and the formula is VERY resistant to tip wear which is more or less a problem especially with bold shades.
I was impressed. Most likely you won't regret purchasing this iconic shade too!

Wonderful color, I love it! It lasts pretty long on my nails even though I wash dishes daily. It looks good with one coat, but I prefer to put on 2 coats and a top coat as a final touch. My favourite :)

I heard relly good review at this shade. But after trying it out I was little bit dissapointed. I like the colour, but it does cheap really easily after 2 days. The classy red look for one event, but not for all week. i tried also many base and topcoats, but nothing helped. Maybe I have got just a bad one. I have this one for a 2 years now and consistency is the same as when I bought it .

This is my all-time favourite red nail polish. I have been using this for a few years and I will continue to repurchase this shade. It is a beautiful bright red shade but it isnt the usual 'fire-engine red' colour it has a deepness to it so its slightly darker but still bright. I apply 2 coats but if I was ever in a rush I could get away with just one coat definiately! Really impressed with the opacity of this OPI polish and its a fave for my toes :)

Very pretty and bright, wouldn't recommend buying if you're looking for a darker red or maroon, as this is very much a candy apple colour. I love it as a mani or a pedi, stays for ages and looks amazing with a glitter coat on top! Perfect colour for Christmas time! Love it!

I bought this in my search for my HG red. This was a bit too bright to serve as my go to , perfect red, but it did precipitate my recent descent into polish hoarding, so....woo hoo?

Formula is nice, I actually got a WEEK AND A HALF out of this with very little chipping, so that was pretty awesome. This is a classic bright red, and if that is what you're looking for I recommend it, but for my personal taste I think I like a bit more drama to my reds, so something along the lines of OPI Blues for Red might be more what I am looking for.

I've tried many different shades, formulations, and brands of nail polish in search of my perfect red and I'm glad to say that this is my all time favourite HG go to red nail polish. I absolutely love how it applies and the wear time I get out of it.

I have recently become obsessed with the perfect red nail polish. I have Cajun shrimp which is a perfect corally red, and I came across this in a tiny seaside town in Wales! It's a pink based red, which looks decidedly more pink than red with its first coat, but upon the second coat it becomes a true red. I wouldn't say it's a proper pillar box red, but it's a lovely glossy red none the less!
I find two coats and a topcoat is perfection!

Very pretty candy apple red. As always, OPI is easy to apply and requires few coats. I usually don't wear red polish but I make an exception for this one.

This is a nice warm toned red that looks okay with my skin tone. I liked the color but unfortunately it stained my nails when I removed it.

This is a classic red nail polish that goes on very smoothly. It almost covers in one layer but I like to use two. This naipolish is orange based and it's slightly to orange for my likings, it does not go very well with my skintone. The quality is great but I prefer a blue based red.

I like the red color of this nail polish, makes my complexion brighter. Lasts long enough without peeling.
