    This is the color the brand Essie started with. Essie Weingarten, the creator of the nail polish brand rolled this out when she founded her company. It’s a classic. Burgundy blood red, it is...

    I like Bordeaux, it's a shiny deep cool toned red very fitting for autumn. The first coat goes on unevenly but everything looks ok with three coats. The brush seems too big to be precise but...

    Bordeaux is a gorgeous deep red wine coloured jelly nail polish. It is a very classic and sophisticated colour, work appropriate and elegant but with some sex appeal. I get compliments when I wear...

    I got this nail polish as a gift, and at first I wasn't the biggest fan of this color (I usually go for bright red shades), but after giving it a try, it looked really nice on broad daylight....

    A lovely, wine-red jelly with magenta-purple undertones, opaque with two coats. I was surprised to like this so much, especially considering jellies don't typically give me high expectations, but...

    Beautiful color. After two coats, it appears blood-red in bright light. It dries fast, which is nice, but that also makes apply a bit unevenly. Definitely worth it, though, because though the...

    A beautiful deep wine polish that was super easy to apply. Fully opaque in 2 coats. Topped with Essie's Good to Go top coat it stayed chip free for over a week.

    I had to do three coats to get a good even coverage but like mast of these kind of colours it was a tiny bit patchy... tiny though and that's just me being picky. I don't like the brush I felt...

    This is a dark red "jelly" color, meaning it is not totally opaque. I really needed 3 coats to get the bottle color and to even out the streaks.

    I love Essie polishes and I grabbed this shade as it was on sale and I love the colour. It's that beautiful vampy blood red that makes nails look glam. I figured there wouldn't be a problem...

    This is an absolutely beautiful vampy color with incredible color payoff. After two coats you're left with opaque and shiny nails. The bad? It does apply goopy so you need to be very careful and...

    I always go back to this colour. I have very pale skin and this colour works great with that. Two coats suffice. It's my go-to winter shade. Been through a number of bottles already and will...

    I don't like this color as much as I do 'Skirting The Issue' which is (to me) the same but darker than Bordeaux. I'm not in love w/this color, but maybe it'll grow on me. Swatters' review below got...

    Finally! I've found the sexy, sophisticated deep red I've been searching for. Like other reviewers have said, it looks nothing like the picture above. It's much darker. The perfect blood red. I...

    I usually love Essie polishes, but this was a big NO for me. I was hoping the color would be more of a blood red than a blue-based red, but I didn't get my wish. This isn't a deep oxblood color...

    First of all, WOOOOWWW! I believe there is an Essie nail polish called 'After Sex'. Well this one should have been called 'Before Sex'. I was on the hunt for a deep burgundy cream jelly polish...
