Every time I wear this, I want to hoard backups. I can't express my adulation for this enough. It makes me want to cry (happy tears).

Candied apples. Clown noses. Maraschino cherries.

This red polish is reminiscent of Nars dragon lady. First pass is pink-fuchsia but the second deepens to a fire engine red. It glows. It looks like a jolly rancher.

This formula is jelly and requires two thin layers. I use base coat with red polish because the fear it will stain my talons yellow. Lasts longer than most; i can get 5 days (3 is normal, so 5 awesome). Seche vite topcoat.

Love this color and I love all Essie products. This one is my favorite because it is the one that Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) wears!

I adore this red shade!!! The formula is outstanding, I only needed 1 coat for opaqueness and I never only apply one coat, always two. It went on so smoothly, without any bubbles, streaks, or bald spots. Oh and the shine!!!! The shine is out of this world! It's a very classic bright red red. Not very blue-tones, not pink toned, nor orangey toned either, just a fabulous bright real authentic red. It reminds me a lot of a freshly made candy apple. Shiny candy apple red. Definitely one of my top 5 reds (and I own many of them).

A classic quintessential red. Jelly Apple has a lovely formula that practically applies itself, and a lovely deep, glassy shine that makes it more interesting to me than a regular creme or shimmer finish red. The red color is very flattering; since my skin is warm-toned, blue-toned reds look absolutely awful on me, and at first coat I was afraid this polish would be one of them, but at the 3-4 coats to opacity the blue-leaning tint of the polish disappears completely.

I love this color! It is the quintessential red..no coral or orange undertones, it is great against my skin color. I don't usually like reds without depth (think CG Ruby Pumps or OPI I'm not a Waitress)...but this is just so sexy and looks so great, I have to go with it!
