Nail Lacquer - Big Apple Red

Maybe it's the lighting in my living room but this actually looks like a deep orange. Opaque into coats, but you might need the three if you have long nails and don't want to see any nail line whatsoever. I would say this is a cross between a creme and a jelly formula.

It doesn't dry a shiny as I would like but a top coat fixes that. I just needed to be careful with my …Read more

I have this in the Infinite Shine collection, thinking it would be close to my all-time favorite red, "Right Said Red" by Sally Hansen in their Complete Manicure line. True, I did have to put it on over another "mirror finish" "red" by SZLION [04; the bottle was bright red but not see-through so it resulted in being COPPER METALLIC]. It might work better on it's …Read more

This is one of my absolute favorite OPI shades. Perfect for any season: spring, summer, fall or winter (I wore this over the Christmas period). No shimmer in here, no glitter and plenty of staying power. I also don't require a top coat as it's very glossy on its own. 2 coats of this and I'm good to go. Love the large brush which makes for easy application, however the only thing to …Read more

OPI's Big Apple Red is the perfect, true red. It's a Santa red, Valentine's Red, Stop Light red.
It is slightly warm based on the Pantone scale, but not orange-y at all.
It goes on well, self levels, 2 coats and a top coat wears well for almost a week.
I don't wear reds that often, but I wouldn't be without this!

My favourite OPI red. Very classy, yet eye catching bright red with warm undertones.
It gets over a week wear on acrylics with a top coat. Will definitely repurchase.

Best red in nail polish, HG.

If you want a cheaper, near identical dupe for OPI's BAR, Revlon Red 680 is pretty much an exact dupe, except Big Apple Red might be a note more orange.

Personally, I did not like this product at all. I have used many OPI nail polishes and they all seem to chip really easily even with a base/top coat. Additionally, they leave my nails stained with the colour once I have removed it. It takes a long time to get this nail polish off. I most definitely would NOT purchased this nail polish again because I think they are extremely over priced …Read more

Big Apple Red looks reminds me of toffee coated candied red apples. Most reviews say the color is a bright true red but on my very pale yellow toned skin its a tomato red, and somewhat muted. Also pigmentation is of a slightly sheer crelly. Opaque in 3- 4 coats which is too much work for me. But I would like to try it as a single layer over a similar colored shimmery metallic or foil. I think it …Read more

Absolutely LOVE the color. Perfect red for any season. The problem lies with wear. Always produces BIG chips within 2 days. OPI unfortunately didn't get the formula right with this one. Going to try Zoya Rekha; very similar in color and I am finding their formula is consistently better.
