Nice red but it's nothing special. Essie's Russian Roulette is a pretty, bright, basic, medium red creme. It looks fine on the nail, but there are seriously a million red polishes out there. And I love reds, but a red polish has to be really great to stand out from all the others. And this one doesn't.Similar shades that I prefer to this one are Essie's Fifth Avenue, Butter London's Her Majesty's Red, and OPI's Big Apple Red. There are just too many excellent reds out there. This one is good but it's not something that I would buy again.
