My favorite red polish has to be Zoya Sooki. It’s the only red polish I have that the bottle actually looks used! LOL 🙂
Personally I love American Apparel Downtown LA and Essie Silken Cord.
I love reading your Top 5 posts! They’re so helpful. I’m looking for a good red, creme nail polish. I’ll probably try Too Too Hot.
Thanks for posting these!
Lately I’ve been drawn to China Glaze’s ‘City Siren’
OPI Big Apple Red is a great one
I love, love, LOVE Nicole by OPI’s Deeply in Love. It’s probably closest to butterLondon’s Pillar Box Red. I personally quite like NOPI’s formula, so that’s why I gravitate towards it.
(Here’s a swatch someone posted, for anyone curious to see what it looks like!)
Gorgeous!!
Hah, I just bought Pillar Box Red. Love it 🙂
Julep’s “January” is gorgeous, and has the intensity of these.
I love Inglot nail polishes. Their reds are vibrant and stay on for a long time.
I like the red of LOLA cosmetics.
