I think it is a wonderful neutral red perfect for very skin color. I don't really like reds that are obviously cool-toned, so this one was perfect. I wouldn't buy that again not because of the quality (it is amazing), but because I don't really paint nails red that often.Easy application, but beware of red red stains on your skin so apply precisely. Hot lava red is the best explanation for this red. Good job, Essie, as always.
