Beautiful deep red
Love this colour. It appears to have a brown undertone. I work as a cleaner and it was held up well and hasn't been affected by any chemicals I use.

Gel colour
Such a pretty red. Probably my favourite one I’ve bought. Can do one coat for a lighter red or more for a darker red.

Nice colour but very sheer
Beautiful polish & love the colour. My only small complaint is it is way too sheer on GelX compared to other polishes and needs a light base coat underneath.
