    A-list is the perfect go-to classic red. Just broke it out of the archives realizing Valentine's day is around the corner, traditionally I like red for that day. Forgot how much I like this...

    Surprised by how much I love this blue-toned classic red on my yellow-undertoned hands. I find I need three coats for an even application. Love how shiny it is. Prefer this now over OPI's Quarter...

    A-list by Essie is a very vibrant red, slightly more blueish red than orange red but not by that much. It applies smoothly and without any streaking, bubbles, or balding spots. 2 coats give...

    I've wanted this polish for ages (probably going on 10 yrs!) but there has always seemed to be another color to try. I finally picked it up last week during a 2 for 1 sale, and I think I was pretty...

    Sexy, sophisticated and classy! This is the red that the old school movie sirens would have worn. Marilyn, Sophia & Ava. The classy gals like audrey & grace would have worn this as well. It truly...

    I love this red! I find it very easy to apply and it wears well with minimal tip wear. Although, I change my polish every 3-4 days, so that may not be the case for someone who is looking to wear...

    I love this color! This red is a more blue-red. It takes around 3 coats (well really 2 but the 3rd one for me seems to make a difference) to get that shiny apple red! If you apply a no chip coat it...

    My first red nail varnish and certainly will be my only. It's amazing- long lasting & lovely. Stayed on for 5days- just started to chip on my last day. I must admit it has been a love-hate...

    I have been looking for the "perfect red" for a long time. This is without a doubt the all around classic red for me, the colour is beautiful. There is no shimmer or glitter, which is great, its...

    I finally found a red that I'm comfortable wearing anywhere!!! This is such a flattering, classic shade. I would say it's more of a blue-based red, but I see that many of the reviewers here found...

    Very Mad Men :) This is like a more upbeat, careless version of Bordeaux. For someone like me it took some nerve to wear a bright red like this to work, but I did and I wasn't fired. Phew. When...

    My Holy Grail red! It has a beautiful, slightly-jelly finish and looks very sexy next to my skin tone. I wear this whenever I want to feel glamorous and made-up, and it looks best on medium to long...

    Being more of the classic type when it comes to nail colours, I only wear neutrals, classic red or dark red. A-list is one of the shades I tried as a classic red for my fingernails. I got a...

    I wish I could give this 4.5 stars. It's a gorgeous dark red but a pure classic red. NOT BERRY! Half a lippie down for application - it's slightly jelly so it's hard to get even color from nail...

    Picked this up on a whim now that Essie is more easily accessible at Rite Aid and am anything but disappointed. Such a great TRUE RED, as other reviewers state, neither leaning too far blue or...

    Absolutely perfect. I only use reds on my toes and I've been on the hunt for the perfect color for a long time. I've never been able to find a red that's classic, but a little deep that worked with...

    Bordeaux's brighter, warmer, redder cousin. At two coats, it actually looks about the same as Bordeaux, but it really brightens up on the third with a wet-look finish. I actually prefer this to...

    The perfect red without orange tones. This is one of those colors that will always look good.
