I have such an affinity for rose-red polishes, and Long Stem Roses is no exception. It's a bright pink-based red loaded with fine silver shimmer. When I first saw this one in the bottle, I was afraid that the silver ribbons were going to translate into frostiness, but that is totally not the case. On the nail, the shimmer is very subtle. There is a tad bit of pearl to the finish, but it's very wearable.
The formula was perfect, and I was able to reach opacity in 2 coats. It does suck up topcoat a little bit, so you may need to apply an extra coat of topcoat (in my picture, I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri).
Long Stem Roses had been in Essie's line up for awhile (it was one of my first Essie lemmings that I never actually filled until recently), but it looks like it's since been discontinued. However, it is still available online at Beauty Stop Online.
Long Stem Roses was sent to me by Beauty Stop Online. Links within this post link to Beauty Stop Online and are not affiliate links.
