This is okay to use and okay to apply. The formula is quite thick but easy enough to work with. Make sure you paint with thin coats for a good finish. Drying time is fairly quick (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). It is a really pretty red and it lasted well. But I have a few words of warning: THIS STAINS REALLY BAD. I had my normal base coat on and I got really bad staining :-| As I never have naked nails, this doesn't bother me, but it might be an issue for you.

The shade of red is very eyecatching and of the brighter ones, I like it a lot. Sorry to hear about staining though, I hate when it happens. Maybe with more coats of a top coat it will be better? Anyways, sexy shade :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gorgeous shade of red! I know that's the only downside, if it hadn't been for that I'd have probably given it 8/10! Sexy indeed :-)

DeleteOh cool nail polish color. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely for sure :-)
DeleteNo matter how pretty - bad stainers have no place in my stash :(
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity!
That's a good policy. I guess since I paint my nails most days it doesn't really bother me that much - but still it shouldn't happen :-|
DeleteI often don't wear base coat at all so I can imagine how it would stain my nails then :D... But the color is nice! ;)
ReplyDeleteBest to wear a double base coat with this I think! Yeah I can imagine very red nails once you've removed it :-O
DeleteIt is a lovely colour! :-)
i dislike red polishes in general because they're pita when it comes to removing... but occasionally something like this comes out and take my hear, really lovely shade :D
ReplyDeleteSome of them are, they really are lol! This one is really nice, glad you like it :-)
DeleteI like this nuance of red! However I hate staining, it ruins many nail art types (or mainly like french manicures) so I try being careful. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah staining is just annoying and wrong. Especially if it's a lovely polish! Aftering seeing what my nails were like after this, a french would look awful! :-)
Deletebeautiful nails :) i like it ;*

Deletegorgeous color, but it stains??? gahh!!! i HATE polishes like that!! you really have to kind of match the next color to the previous one so the stained nails don't show through... and god forbid you go nekkid!! i'll be passing on this one!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know :-( Exactly! Haha yeah, looking at them naked between polishes I was like noooooooooo!!!! :-|
DeleteWhat a beautiful red. It stains? I don't care ;o).
ReplyDeleteKind regards,
Elena
It's a gorgeous red and that's the only fault I found with it! :-)
DeleteBeautiful polish and it looks so great on you - it reminds me of candy wrapper, no? I am always miffed if a polish stains - I wonder why, I wear polish anyhow.... <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! WOW you are so right, it really does look like a candy wrapper :-D It doesn't really bother me too much but it's still ugly. I wear so much nail polish anyway, my naked nails are nothing special to look at! ;-)
DeleteOh no! staining polishes are the worse in my book! I should really compilate a list of staining polishes and share it in my blog! that would be nice if others want to know which polishes stain...
ReplyDeleteThey really are no ideal! That is such a good idea! I could give you a list of a few anyway :-) It would be great to share with other for sure :-)
DeleteA color has to be super special for me to put up with staining, and while this one's really pretty, I'd have to pass. I have that one song in my head now, though-- I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb! lol.
ReplyDeleteExactly! It does have to be something extra special indeed. Haha I had it in my head for a good few days after this! :-D
DeletePity for stains 'cause it's a super bright and very intriguing red this one!
ReplyDeleteI have my nails always painted too, however it's annoying when they stain :/
I know that the problem with it. Bad staining. I know, I'm the same but it is still a pain! :-)
Deletethis colour is fantastic, looks amazing on your nails, but stains are really annoying I know (maybe two layers of base coat could give a better protection?)
ReplyDeleteThanks :-) They really are. That's a good tip, I'll try to remember it if I ever try this again! :-)
DeleteOh. My. God! I absolutely love it! It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteHehe yeah it really is something :-)
Deletelovely color... i love the shimmer/foil that's going on here it looks fiery! too bad about the staining though :(
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning and lovely! Just that staining grr :-O
