CHERRIES COMPOSTED

I was worried about staining, but with a good base coat this deep cherry-burgundy applied smoothly in just two layers and dried to a beautiful shine. The color is exactly what I was hoping for—rich without being too dark.

The two coats I applied gave this rich, dark cherry-burgundy look that’s impressively opaque, and the pigment really pops. I made sure to use a base coat, so no staining issues after a week of wear.

Three coats with a base coat and this is the richest dark cherry-burgundy I’ve tried—the pigment is so dense it almost looks wet. It did leave a faint stain on my nails after a week, but that’s on me for skipping the base coat the second time.
