Looking for a perfect winter red polish?
I cordially invite you to visit this classic shade, Bordeaux from Essie. :)
This rich & posh red color is one of my favorite reds of all time.
I think it looks best on short-trimmed nails.
The color is deep but never looking stuffy thanks to the slight jelly finish.
It looks deep and pure. The color changes under different lighting.
I am wearing 2 coats of this with Duri base coat & Seche Vite fast drying topcoat.
My bottle is very old and came from the pre-Big 3 free era, so the application is fantastic, if you know what I mean. ;)
This sure beats the winter blues for me.
I highly recommend this sophisticated shade to anyone.
It is not the usual in-your-face red but certainly a wowzer. :)
I love it's red wine-y resemblance. It's a deep and pretty classic nail polish to wear. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, you got long and pretty hands. :D *envy*
I just painted my nails yellow. Lmao. Red ones are too much for me, or so I think. :P

ooh yellow is hot! but even harder to pull than red for me.
ReplyDeletewould love to see you notd with yellows. :)
yes. it is perfectly named, imho.
ReplyDeleteseriously there are some gorgeous shades from years ago.
sadly i believe essie & opi has beyond their golden age. nowdays i don't see any greatness no matter how how they try with name-playing their new polishes...
you should get this, Kim! (enabling mode on ;p)
ReplyDeletei prefer essie over opi in general. i love love their red colors.
this and A-list are my recommendation for essie reds. :)

ReplyDeletethanks Pamela! :)
ReplyDeleteeveryone should have this her nail polish wardrobe. (lol i sound like a sales person.)

ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for your comment on my blog! :D
ReplyDeleteUsually I'm always replying back on the commenters blog, but now blogger started with this "reply" alternative, which is very handy! but I don't know if you got any notification about me replying to you comment on my blog?
What a delicious red shade! I want this! :D

It looks gorgeous... I once had a red nail polish on at work kinda like that and they hated me for it cause they said red is bitch nails... I would so rock this anywhoo lol
ReplyDeleteartofmi3.blogspot.com
That is like the perfect shade of red that doesn't have any overt blue or yellow undertones and the shine you achieved is just dazzling!
ReplyDeleteit is quite perfect for its kind. :)
ReplyDeletei use Seche Vite or Poshe top coat and they make all the differece.
wha..? they can't say things like that because you were wearing red polishes!!
ReplyDeletei think this color looks as professional as nude or sheer colors.
i always put darks and brights on shorter nails and it balances out.
i agree. you'd rock this color, Mie :)
i love this polish for winter. :)
ReplyDeleteSeche Vite should get credits for the exceptional shine, though. :)
hey thanks for getting back to me! :)
ReplyDeletei think it is cool that blogger finally adapted this "reply" function which they should have done a long time ago. i don't know about the notification, though. i'll prolly stick with disqus although it acts up pretty bad sometimes.
you should get this shade. i know you'll love it. ^-^
thank you!
ReplyDeleteit is one of the rare shade that would work for any skin tone. i love it so much i have a backup bottle! :D
i mentioned about this below but you can find many classic essie shades that are truly gorgeous. the new shades are relatively(!) blah..lol
ReplyDeletei might do "oldie but goodie" series or something. ;p
thanks, Anel. :)
ReplyDeletered wine colors are just perfect for the season! good choice. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty color, but I don't wear reds ;o
ReplyDeleteYou paint your nails really good, and it looks so shiny like a gel manicure!
its a very nice shiny dark! its so shiny!! without a topcoat! awesome!
ReplyDeleteit is indeed very very shiny color with bit of a jelly finish.
ReplyDeletei did used topcoat, though.
i use Seche Vite or Poshe fast drying kinds and they work very well as shine boosters. :)
thanks, Banny :)
ReplyDeletegenerous application of good topcoat can create gel mani effect and soften out small errors.
wow, stunning. I absolutely adore this shade. I'm not really a red person when it comes to polish but I love how deep and rich it is. Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteyou can't really go wrong with this classic shade.
ReplyDeletei highly recommend this! :)
