Love this- bought it on holiday in London so it's a nice reminder. As Essie polishes tend to be on the thinner side, it takes two coats for an even colour. With Sally Hanson Insta Dry over the top, I ...Read more

To me, this is a beautiful candy-apple red color and therefore perfect for fall! Great name, too!

I love this red! It looks great on my dark nw47 skin, very classy. I have never really liked reds but I love this one. The application is amazing, very smooth with no problems and fairly fast drying.
