Just a little post: Essie - Silken Cord (winter 2010)

I am always on the lookout for a nice, red nail polish!
And one fine day I crossed paths with Essie Silken Cord.
The tone is a pure red, a bit darker then hot red and it has a bit of a dusty look to it.
Perhaps I should discribe it as a winter red...(then Snap Happy would be a summer red).

Here it is:

Essie - Silken Cord

It is a perfect red in my eyes, but the wearability was not perfect: it was chipped within a day!
I will try this again with Essie base and top coat: hopefully that will stay put for a few days longer.
