Sinful Colors- Ruby Ruby

Sinful colors is an inexpensive, drugstore brand that seems to retail between $.99-$1.99 for colors and base and top coats. Despite being so cheap, they are very popular due to the good value and wide selection of colors. This wide selection often means you can get an inexpensive dupe for a higher quality polish.
However, Ruby Ruby is not an exact dupe for any of my other red creme polishes, which is nice because a variety of different reds is something I think is important. Reds can often be seen as too vampy or sexy if they are dark, so a brighter, more innocent red is a good thing to have in your arsenal.
Ruby Ruby is just that. It is a very bright, maraschino cherry red. In addition, I really appreciated the package quality, specifically the width of the brush is about perfect, not too thin like Pixi, not too wide like OPI.
The formula, however, left something to be desired. Like many polishes in that price range, the formula is very thin, leaving an uneven distribution of color and a dull finish on the nail. An easy way to solve this problem would be to apply a top coat and a base coat, which I do not apply when I am trying a polish out for the vary first time like I did for this review.
With a high quality base and top coat, this would be a lovely, bright red polish to wear around that isn't so vampy or dark.
