Essie Very Cranberry

Tonight I have an oldie but a goodie! Well, I actually don't know how old it is, really, but it's been out for several years and I picked it up in 2011 on super sale (for $1!!) at a Trade Secret. And only wore for the first time last year! I have too much polish. Essie Very Cranberry is a "dashing creamy cranberry," though I might call it a deep pink-red muted cranberry with subtle shimmer. I wore this as part of my Thanksgiving manicure.

Very Cranberry had an ok formula. Not great, but not that bad either. The color definitely deepens the more coats you use. I used three here. Two probably would have been ok, but I like the depth three coats has on the nail. I think the shimmer, which actually seems more apparent on the nail than in the bottle, really helps make this polish more unique.

My only disappointment was that Very Cranberry doesn't actually seem all that "cranberry" too me-- it's too pink. But it's still very pretty, even if the name isn't quite correct. It is a gorgeous pink-red that
