Sorry, the first pic is a bit blurry.
I usually don't like reds because the don't match well with my skintone.
Luckily, Red Nouveau is an exception.
I really like it on my nails and the application was good.
This is a quick compariosion with my other red cremes: MAYBELLINE and RIMMEL.
As you can see essie is the darkest while MAYBELLINE is more orange.
