    Really Red is about right; this is the most beautiful, sexy, true and rich red you are ever going to get. it's a pretty vibrant shade and I would say it is pink based. Maybe the most perfect red...

    I'm not sure if this is a jelly polish or a creme. I suspect it's somewhere in between, a crelly. Whatever we want to call it, this is well-named, because it is, indeed, really red. It's a nice,...

    Love love love! Bought it when I ran out of my fav (OPI's Red Hot Ayers Rock) and couldn't find a bottle at my local Trade Secret. I think I like this even better! My favorite part is how shiny it...

    For years, this has been my summertime-red-toenail polish. It is a radiant, bright red with strong blue undertones. No orange undertones. Among the 3 reds from Essie I own (Really Red, A-List and...

    Heavily pigmented, thin formulation that applies super easy. You could probably get away with one coat on this one. Nice classic red colour with a shiny finish. It is very close to OPI Big Apple...

    I prefer OPI's Big Apple Red over Essie's version of the true red only because it takes 2-3 coats with Essie's over 1.5-2 coats for BAR. Just a personal preference kind of thing.

    This is a very pretty red. It isn't too blue or too orangey. However, Revlon's All Fired up is just about the same color. I would only buy this again if I couldn't find the Revlon polish. The...

    Holy bright classic crème red! I’m a bit of a nailpolish newbie and I’ve never owned a true bright red, so I was overjoyed when I found this at Marshall’s. I’m quite warm toned so I was fearful...

    Very nice, true red creme with nice application. I don't own too many true red cremes, because a. boring, and b. orange reds usually look better on me (I'm warm-toned). But I'm glad I own this.

    Yep, great color! I bought it for my Valentine's pedicure and it's perfect. After the first coat I thought, "oh no, this won't work!" It looked very cool toned, blue base, pinkish. I almost...

    My favorite "true red" nailpolish! It's a really bright, not-too-pink-or-orange creme red. The staying power is great and you only need 2 coats for an opaque finish. This is one of the few...

    I love red polish but I'm not really happy with this product. Although the colour is truly beautiful (just like everyone said it is a true red) I get a decent coverage after applying three coats....

    I'm a red nail polish connaisseur and this one is my ultimate favorite. Not too blue, not too orange, just a perfect true red. Looks good when I'm tan and when I'm pale. It's the best.

    Really Red is a nice, bright true red creme. I think this shade is perfect for a pedi. It looks fine with one coat, but a little better with two (as most polishes do). The polish I used before...
