Beautiful color. Its a deep red but I wouldn't call it vampy. The finish is fantastic - so glossy. Its a jelly polish so it can look a bit uneven. I am personally satisfied with 2 coats but for close-up photos of nails one would probably require 3 coats. Overall I am blown away by how glossy and fresh it looks. One of the absolute best colors I own. Would definitely buy again. I have had compliments so many times wearing this. This is also the only one my husband likes (it is not easy to impress him :-). It just looks a head above the other reds. Jelly finish makes it look ultra feminine especially with a glossy top coat. It is a true classic!
