I liked it

I looked through lists of every single OPI collection and can't find an introduction for OPI Red, so I'll assume that one form or another of this red with pink undertone shade has been in their core range since the brand launched in 1989. In the bottle it seems that the red base has a flash of pink iridescence to it, but on the nail the shade mostly looks like a creme occasionally I think that I see a flash, but I honestly can't tell if I'm fooling myself or not. I've removed a lippie because I know that OPI have literally hundreds of extremely similar red-with-a-hint-of-pink polish shades (including 5 Apples Tall, Red Hot Rio, By Popular Vote, Having A Big Hair Day & Amore At The Grand Canal), and it's not like it is a hard shade to find in other brands either.I can recommend this shade as the formula is a fantastic two coater; it's neither too thick or too thin, has great pigmentation [it's almost a one coater], it is smooth, even and non-streaky to apply and it dries quickly.In general nail polishes will last me anywhere between two to four days with only minimal wear. But as I'm a self powered wheelchair user I'm tough on my hands and am always catching my nails, so I can't really speak for how long lasting the formula is overall. If you do already own one of OPI's many similar shades and like the formula, then I should say you can skip this one as there is really nothing new on offer here shade-wise, however I keep finding myself reaching for it because of the whole "was that a flash, or is it just me?" aspect keep calling me back for more.
