Essie Really Red

When I was standing in front of the Essie counter with my 50% off coupon, already holding the After School Boy Blazer and Turquoise & Caicos in my hands, I spent an eternity deciding on the third polish. I knew I wanted a red because I never owned a proper red nail polish, but I never realised Essie has so many reds to choose from. And all look so close! So I went for the one with the most obvious name, Really Red, since it sounded just like what I wanted. It is a medium bright true red - a classic and elegant colour.
This is another great formula by Essie, just like Cute as a Button. I can get away with one coat, though on some nails I add one more if there wasn't enough polish on the brush the first time. I also like the size of their brushes, as they are just the right width for my nails.
