Happy 4th to all my Americans!!
On the day to celebrate the red, white, and blue, I have my focus on the red!
I've been searching (obsessing) over red nail polish lately, and realized
(alot don't look good on me) but I won't give up!
Today's holiday is the perfect reason to use a nice red on the fingers.
So my search for the HG red comes to it's first contender
I bought this last year, and never tried it! I have the corresponding lipstick which I love, and the nail polish is a spot on dead ringer for it.
Sunlight
It's a very 50's red (which I believe is when the color was created! aka classic!)
It was very difficult to show in photos because in sunlight and artificial light it looks warmer but it is a cool blue based red with a shot of fuchsia pink in it.
Indoor Lighting
(better representation but more fuchsia pink and darker in real life)
Pros: Outstanding formula! This is 1 coat to complete opacity. I love the 1 coaters!! and no top coat!it dries glossy enough. No streaks, and easy to apply
No real cons, but it is not my HG I want something blue toned but with less pink in it, but this is an excellent one for the collection and I think I will be wearing it all of the winter holiday season!
What is your favorite red?
This is a gorgeous color! love that it looks perfect in just one coat- time saver!
ReplyDeleteI have this one on my toes right now! Love how 50s it is and you're right...the lipstick IS a perfect match of the shade :)
ReplyDeleteI've only tried the lipstick so far, but this looks equally as lovely!

A classic red is perfect for any occasion. I love Wet N Wild's Red Red.
ReplyDeleteIt suits you well. Great shade of red I must say. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, a classic. I didn't know there was a nail polish version to Cherries in the Snow! I'm wearing L'Oreal's Apple (?) on my toes today which is a nice red jelly. I like my reds a bit darker. NARS Jungle red is probably my favorite; I find it to be really balanced
ReplyDeletecompletely know what you mean when you say 'reds don't look good on me' - i love classic reds but they always make my hands look darker (dirty) and i am forever envying olivia palermos perfect red mani ... guess it's all about finding the 'right' red =) this one looks great on you!
ReplyDeletelove it!

I love Revlon Polishes too! And I must get my hands on Cherries in the snow! :)
ReplyDeleteahhh a Olivia fan!!! I actually bought the red she wears! Essie's Lollipop but it looked AWFUL on me!!! (say it aint so!)
ReplyDeletethe hunt is still on!
oh sounds nice!!! i know i can count on you to know ur NARS!!!
ReplyDeletei love this on the toes too!!! the lipstick is also AMAZING! especially during the winter holidays!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Cherries In The Snow, a classic. My favourite red is Chanel Pirate, I wore it every day of my final year at university and went crazy when it was discontinued. I own lots of reds and none of them compare to my beloved and much lamented Pirate.
