If there are two things I love it’s a) a deep, vampy nail color this season, and b) a PAMA-tini (a martini made with PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur). So, of course I was elated to receive my complimentary bottle of limited edition PAMA red nail polish by Essie in the mail (and of course I told all my friends so they’d get one, too)!

Normally myself and red nail polish don’t get along very well. Red is generally an unflattering shade against my NC45 skin for whatever reason. But, I love this red! Essie’s PAMA red nail polish is a deep neutral cherry shade. With one-two coats of PAMA you get a “cherry red” hue, and after two-three coats the shade is “blood red”. I like both intensities
