    My all time favorite polish shade.

    2 years ago
    I’m on my 3rd bottle of Not Red-y For Bed. It’s the most beautiful vibrant medium red shade that’s punchy but also classy looking. (It’s brighter than pictured in sunlight.) I wear it 80% of the time and year round. It just goes with literally every thing and every season. Fantastic smooth application, dries well and stays. I hope they keep making it!
