The picture is made in my new lighting setup, but it’s very close to ‘A list’ and ‘Maki me happy’, although the pictures look like it is closer to really red and aperitif. for more than 35 years, essie has been a color authority and leader in nail luxury, committed to high quality standards with an award-winning line of nail polishes and nail care products. While Russian roulette also contains a tiny bit of orange, it is slightly cooler toned and darker than Lacquered up, but the difference is really subtle. Geranium and Fifth avenue are both described as orange-reds by Essie, but Geranium is slightly more orange.

However, if you keep it next to a true black shade like ‘Licorice’, you can indeed see that Wicked is a red. The color was part of Essie’s Handmade with love summer 2022 collection but will become part of Essie’s permanent collection. Considering I’m living in Europe, some of these shades were quite challenging to find, but I’m happy to report that I now own all of these shades.I know that Essie often includes it in Essie Christmas mini sets, and to be honest, Forever yummy is indeed a great Christmas red but I would be able to wear it any time of year. This polish was actually thicker than other Essie polishes I've used (and I was really pleased by that). The negative side of this is that the first two coats look very streaky, but when you get this polish completely opaque, it will have the same depth as a candied apple (similar to A list). The Essie Nail Polish has a wide brush which allows you to apply the Nail Polish quickly and easily with a smooth application.
