I'm Caucasian and pretty white, but for some reason, a lot of red nail polishes have just made my hands look kind of dirty and unappealing. Another problem I've often had with them is that they end up looking brownish instead of properly red. Come to Bed Red is different. To me, its the perfect red, a true red that isn't pink, isn't Brown, and isn't neon. I get a lot of compliments on my long, natural nails and part of how I keep them from getting damaged is to apply many layers of this, which creates a thick finish that is surprisingly durable, often lasting several days with little to no tip wear and zero chipping. One complaint I have is that I've found BL polishes take a very long time to dry, but the fact that the polish is thick and that I apply many layers overall probably worsens that. Also, it's frustrating that it seems to get thicker as you use the bottle up. Even so, I love it and repurchase again and again in this colour.
