A rich, dark red for dramatic manicures in fall, winter or for evening. Deep reds show chips and stain bare nails, so a base coat matters.

Overview
A holiday party, an evening out or a cold weather manicure is where essie Wicked shines, a deep blood red with a cream finish. The easy glide brush lays down even, glossy coats, and the formula is vegan.
A saturated dark red gives a bold, polished look that reads classic rather than trendy. Dark shades show tip wear quickly and can stain nails without a base coat.
Who it's for
People who love dramatic, classic reds for evenings and cooler seasons. Those wanting a subtle look or fewer touch ups should choose a sheer or nude shade.
Pros and cons
- Deep blood red color
- Cream finish, glossy shine
- Easy glide brush
- Dark shades show chips
- Can stain nails without a base
- Base and top coat sold separately
Performance notes
Color depth builds with two coats, and a base coat both smooths the nail and blocks the red from staining. A top coat protects the shine and slows tip wear.
