I won't be running out of this one in a hurry and I do love it.

I won't be running out of this one in a hurry and I do love it. Its a beautiful polish for winter, holidays or special occasions, its a glitter for grown ups. The base is a deep blackened red and then the red glitters in it give it a beautiful 'lit from within' effect. This polish is grown up and sophisticated and interesting, perfect for formal occasions or whenever you just want to rock a grown up red.application was great, opaque in two coats, I added a topcoat for extra shine and was right to go. I've applied it over a peel off basecoat simply for ease of removal, however the peel off basecoats usually come off in the shower for me. That's said, its a special occasion look and I'm not worried about short wear time. Definitely a polish that I'll be wearing for many years to come.

Leading Lady is a beautiful deep red glitter polish that came out in the Encrusted Treasures coll...

Leading Lady is a beautiful deep red glitter polish that came out in the Encrusted Treasures collection a few years ago for the 2013 Holiday collection. I picked this up thinking it would be a great Christmas polish shade. This IS a great Christmas polish now that I have it on. It is a lovely red chunky type of glitter that lays flat on your nails and has a mostly smooth textured finish. This isn't a full out texture with the sugar or sand feeling though, it's smoother than those. The glitters do not stick up and the edges do not get caught on fibers. This is sort of a blackened red, it's deep and dark and very pretty. It's not burgundy or oxblood though, no it's a sincere red but it leans dark and is very sophisticated. This is a mature ladylike color and it reminds me of Santa's furry red suit once he's been down a couple of chimneys. This is such an easy polish to apply. This paints right on with regular strokes and does not require the dab and spread method. This is meant to be a glitter polish that you wear on it's own and it builds up beautifully to complete opacity in a couple easy coats. The glitters are suspended in a jelly base so this is sheer with the first coat and has to be built up. As with all Essies this has that small thin brush requiring multiple strokes to apply. That means you can't just do a 3 stroke application but it also does give you more precision and a beautiful look if you are patient and take your time with this one. Like any diva, you have to wait and do things her way if you want to bring out her best. While I really like this shade on me and I love the ease of application on this glitter, it doesn't have the best wear and I had to retouch it every single day for the 6 days I had this on as it chips on the tips and the corners of your nails. I have had tiny chips from 4 out of 5 nails and tip wear that needed retouching on all. As far as removal, this did take a little time and effort using non acetone remover like any glitter polish, but once I pulled out my acetone and this came off straight away with little effort and absolutely no staining. I was holding my breath hoping for no red cuticles and pink nails, and was so happy to see a nice clean nail bed once this was off. I was disappointed that for a glitter this was not a super strong polish and that it tended to chip. I would have given this more lippies had this had a better wear on me. The formula is good, it applies easily, it dries fast and looks great. The only problem I had was the fast tip wear and multiple chips needing retouched often to make this last a week. I rarely get chips in my polish and I generally change polish because it's my day off and I have the time, not because it really needs it, but this one did not last and really needed changing before the week was over. I will happily wear this again as it's a beautiful polish and it looks fabulous on me, and because I love glitter. I already know it's not the most durable or long lasting, but it's pretty and it makes me happy and that's what counts. This is like a summer romance, you know it's not going to last, but you enjoy it while it lasts and ooh and ahh while you can. Yes, it's kind of worth it.

It's just your average deep cherry red glitter nail polish.

It's just your average deep cherry red glitter nail polish. Nothing horrible, but nothing great. I think it is comparable to the Revlon glitter nail polishes, which I quite like and own few bottles of.I am not amazed enough by it to buy more. I am currently using the small/travel size from the winter collection. At least it applies well. Plus, I have been wearing it for day or two, and so far has not chipped. In the end, I'll save my money and stick to my Revlon/drug-store/high-street glitter nail polishes.

Deep, cool-leaning, red jelly with brighter red, square, medium small glitter.

Deep, cool-leaning, red jelly with brighter red, square, medium small glitter. Pretty colour, with nice contrast between the bright glitter and the deeper red base. Application is good, opacity in two coats, no issues with the glitter being hard to place or dragging, good glitter suspension, and good glitter-to-base ratio. Dry surface is a little gritty, but a top coat fixes most of that. I'm generally a huge fan of reds, and of glitters, and especially of red glitters, but for whatever reason, I'm just not feeling this, and I don't know why not. It's a perfectly okay polish, and it's fine with my complexion, but it's just kinda... meh. It's just not that original, I suppose, and I've seen, worn, and own rather a lot of red glitters, and this one has nothing especially interesting or unique to make it stand out. Honestly, I don't know why I'm not enthusing over this one. It seems like it should tick all my boxes, but it just doesn't. I'll keep wearing this polish, because it is pretty and it has a really good formula, but I won't be buying it again.

bought as part of the winter collection in the mini size.

bought as part of the winter collection in the mini size.probably my favourite of the 4 shades in this collection. deep dark base colour with pretty red glitter particles. perfect for christmas but anytime over the colder months will do too. a lovely glossy finish, very pretty but an absolute PITA to remove (like any glitter polish really).
