Classic true red. My first red. And the red I use most on the Red Carpet. It’s the color of old Hollywood—classic, timeless, regal. The epitome of glamour that complements all skin tones.
Here's what I have to say about it:
Gurgle. Swoon.
This red is the living end, I swear. When Fuzzy saw it, she said: Greta Garbo. It's a medium dark blue-toned red, and though it's classified as a creme by DeborahLippman.com there's enough translucence to it that I'd call it a creme/jelly hybrid. The translucence lets the light in and gives this polish so much depth you could fall into it.
The formula is luscious perfection. Creamy and smooth, liquid but dense, forgiving, self-leveling. Application to make you melt with polish enthusiast bliss. Easy clean up (if needed, that is -- I did but most won't, this polish is that good). Dries naturally in average time to a glossy finish. What more can I say?
Photos show two coats of My Old Flame over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite. Left hand photo bonuses: hangnails (two) plus an errant glitter at the cuticle of pinkie finger nail (I have no clue).

Stunning, no? Outdoors and in natural light, My Old Flame has the saturated crimson appearance that you see in these photos while indoors under artificial lighting it becomes even more complex and nuanced, with undertones of brown and purple.
So fine!

Aunt Liz
