Beautiful dark red/purple color with little shine in it! Tried it on for Christmas. It reminds me OPI Affair in Red Square. I am very picky in red nail polishes but this one is wonderful. Chips as every other color after few days, but it was lots of swimming in a pool anyways.

This shade is best described as a merlot with shimmer. Gorgeous and rich. My nails are short but this shade is a show-stopper. Lots of compliments.

I was looking for this exact color! Found it on ebay dirt cheap. I LOVE it! It is beautiful...It has a reddish-purplish hue. Not cheap looking but very rich, and color saturated. It's so classy. LOVE it! This color, i believe, has been discontinued so ebay is the only place it is to be found. A shame, since it is such a pretty color!

What a beautiful, classy, rich color. Everyone described it perfectly like a glass of good bordeaux with a twinge of purple when the light hits it.It is a beautiful contrast to my pale skin. I always wonder why when polishes are applied in salons they are never streaky. never had a polish that the tech had problems applying. So, of course, with a professional manicure it is smooth, shiny and perfect.EDIT: I do have to agree that it is kind of easy to chip. After a prof manicure I usually go at least five days with no chips but with this polish there were tiny chips on sev fingers on day 3

This was not my first Essie, but for me it was a little disappointment. First of all the application wasn't easy first coat was streaky and you easy mess what you have applied earlier with another strikes (normal application). Second minus is that it chip easily. I didn't do anything special ant it chipped second day! This was really too soon for that price (here is one Essie 9€ or almost 12$ at the moment!! yes it's not cheap at all). The color is deep burgundy, on some light deep purple with gold tiny shimmer. Unfortunately most time is burgundy, I wish that it would be most time deep purple and just on some light burgundy. SV on some light is even a little brownish (probably cos of gold shimmer). Color is definitely mature, elegant, wintery (or fally), a classic. But I guess it's not crazy enough for me :). It would be better for my mom ;). I fall in love in swatch on local forum (made by Maestra) but this great color is really rarely to see when you wear it:
