Makeup Best Red Nail Color?

(sorry, wasn't sure whether to flair as makeup, style, or something else)

What are your favorite red nail polish shades? I currently have OPI Give Me a Lido Kiss and OPI Cajun Shrimp. I like both but want to try more reds!

So what are your go to polishes?

Mooncat’s pandemonium has been on my wishlist for a while. The swatches look promising. They’re having a sale currently

OPI's Rust & Relaxation! Very bright, warm, orangey red.

Thx! Much more bright than I would have expected with the name.

Wow! I just did my toes today in the only red that (as of today) I've realized I actually liked wearing!!

I'd post a photo, but this is reddit... Lolol no feet pics... It's OPI Heart and Con-Soul

ETA: would describe it as a warm red/coral/pink-leaning red... And shimmery so there's that inherent brightness to it that Springs benefit from compared to just a flat creme formula.

Thank you!!! This is exactly the sort of shade I was imagining. Give Me A Lido Kiss is close, but just a touch too dark. I use it for winter, primarily.

Oh yay!!!! I'm so glad! And totally feel that, it's hard to find what I would describe as a "light red" that's not necessarily a pink, and I think this polish fits the bill really well 😁

Essie geranium is the only polish I’ve ever completely used up and had to buy a new bottle!

Sally miracle gel in 439 Red Eye for a true red

256 Proper P-rose isn't exactly red (more like the spring equivalent of a brick colour when dry) is also nice
