❤️OPI MOST ICONIC REDS❤️ [LIVE SWATCH ON REAL NAILS]

[@4ulordsdg634]

Big Apple Red for the win. It's just such a beautiful color.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

This was helpful. Seeing all the reds together gives a better view of their undertones. Please do the Dior video! That would be fun.

[@lovaloo763]

Raisin Your Voice & I'm Not Really a Waitress were the two I liked most. The pearly, shimmery polishes look lovely.

[@janeburkhart4051]

I'm Not Really a Waitress and Malaga Wine are my favorites! Today I'm wearing Red-y For the Holidays. Love your videos!

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Jane! ❤️

[@bellyjewel]

I’m Not Really a Waitress is my favorite. It’s also my all-time favorite name of a color.

[@Janell_W.1991]

Big Apple Red is my favorite red of ANY brand!! I love it 😍♥️ I also find it’s a classic true red. Thank you for another great video guy’s!!

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Janell!!

[@saragillihan484]

Me too!

[@jonni555]

I absolutely love your reactions when you see the formulas. Makes me smile. Love watching your videos. 🥰

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Jonni! I was actually laughing at myself when I was editing the video. I'm so glad I'm not the only one laughing lol Thank you for your comment ❤️

[@ross93]

My all time favourite OPI' s red is "I've got the blues for red" so so deep and bright at the same time.... So odd you didn' t mention it 🙃

[@its_me_jen_jen9204]

I am an absolute sucker for an OPI red. There’s just something so good about them. Other OPI colors are fine, but their red formula is unbeatable.❤️

[@TheSalonLife]

I agree! I kind of forgot about OPI (the traditional line), it's also excellent! OPI red looks more red in different lights. It's nice and creamy to apply!

[@meaganhiller3029]

I love Cajun shrimp as a summer color! I just bought a kit that came with the polish, infinite, gel and dip! For $12 us! Can’t beat that!

[@dowen6010]

I so enjoy you guys. I got my 3rd Covid booster and have not felt well. So I’ve been watching you all and snoozing 😴
Anna’s voice is very soothing and Mr. SL always makes me think of a radio announcer. 😊

[@TheSalonLife]

Hey D! Hope you feel better soon! I've received that comment more than you know. - Mr. Salon Life

[@sherric7860]

Hi! I do so wish I could apply polish like you do, Anna. I love red polishes. So beautiful! Reds are sometimes hard to clean up off skin. If I could just not touch my skin with the polish…
I actually have a lot of those reds. Opi are some of the few mainstream polishes I own. I wear them on my toes.

[@llchapman1234]

No one does reds like OPI ♥️. I'm not really a waitress is my favorite.

[@nluther22]

I’m not really a waitress is my favorite of the bunch. Perfect holiday red

[@DianaTrout]

Love reds! This is helpful so thank you! I love Big Apple Red. Now I need OPI red!

[@jillianwickham31]

As a red lover, this was so satisfying ♥️

[@mea1831]

Huge favorite is “I can’t see without my lipstick.” Who remembers Chick Flick Cherry? That use to be my go to like 25 years ago 🤣

[@YuliaKovalenko]

Not a red lover, but now I need the Shrimp and Big Apple 😂 you guys are awesome, thank you!

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Yulia 😘

[@Tracy_F]

I love the darker colors! Especially, I’m not a Waitress. ❤️

[@nibblit]

These videos are invaluable and relaxing to watch. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@alisonstansifer4819]

Malaga Wine and Relentless Red ❤️ Cajun Shrimp was my very first manicure color when I was in my 20’s. I’m in my late 40’s now …. We’re both classics!!

[@JacobCordova]

I'm so happy you chose reds. My favorite color.

[@kaylah9206]

I'm glad this popped up in my recommended! Videos like this will for sure be helpful and I can't wait to look at some of your others!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yay! Awesome! We love when UA-cam does that 🤗 Welcome :))

[@kdspc]

I love how, in round motion you wiped off the polish before applying. It indeed Shows ur expertise. I do that too.

[@maggiemay70]

Big Apple Red from your collection. Love Maraschino Cherry from the Celebration Collection. On my nails now . Can never have enough OPI Reds 💅🏽😍💕💗💗💗

[@maylingboogaard]

Thank you for this comparison. My favourite OPI red is An affair in Red Square❤️❤️❤️

[@tampatart8156]

I always thought Big Apple Red was more orange until I saw this video. This is a great video and very timely for the holidays.

[@brookesosa5032]

It’s so helpful seeing these shades next to each other! Thank you! ❤️

[@TheSalonLife]

You are so welcome Brook! Thank you for your comment!

[@roulagerasimidis697]

I agree
Ty for this video

[@reganb3509]

Big Apple Red is my go-to for a half moon manicure. But I also like Gimme a Lido Kiss for the summer....and trying every other red as well :)

[@francooper4237]

I love so many of these and I’m not usually a fan of red. I’m Not Really a Waitress is my fav though. I remember getting that color often back in high school, when I first started getting my nails done. It brings back memories!!

[@heidimlsb3530]

Great comparisons! The only one I have is the Coca Cola red. I never thought I liked orangey reds but that one is so smooth and pretty on the nail. I love the Raisin Nature Strong color and all the darker reds you showed here. I also think it is interesting how pink both the OPI Red and Revlon Red are. Definitely neither is a true red.

[@TheSalonLife]

I have to investigate Revlon further ;)

[@mothralovesyou]

Raisin Your Voice is phenomenal.

[@elidepizzini4067]

thank you so much! it's a beautiful video and useful too! and I love hearing your voices...

[@luanallogan]

i rly loved the coca cola red, big apple red and malaga wine soooo much!

[@minda.fraser]

Big Apple Red and Relentless Ruby!!! - I'm currently wearing BAR and I think I want to try Relentless Ruby. For the Summer I'll do Cajun Shrimp and try Coca Cola Red! I'm doing a year of short red nails! Thanks for the demo!!

[@franceseattle]

I think the reds best for me would be OPI Red and Relentless Ruby. I love some of the others, but could never wear them.

[@Mommaslew]

Love Malaga Wine! Next fav is Lincoln Park After Dark…..and Yoga To Get This Blue! Nice video!

[@jenniferlamoureux8378]

❤❤❤❤❤ I just bought my first DD set because of you! I really like them, but I have to get use to the thinner look.

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Jennifer! Please let us know how you like it and if you are having any questions :)

[@sherric7860]

For anyone that buys the brushes, Christie of KBShimmer makes wonderful polishes, too. Very good formula’s and you’ll be supporting a small business. Oh, and her sugar scrubs are great, too.

[@jia.wang4942]

OPI probably has the best red formula 🥰too bad I can’t wear red at work, they all look super stunning

[@theresahermann2366]

You make these colors look amazing 😻 Luv you both and luv your videos 💖

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so much Theresa!! ❤️

[@alanas9333]

I love all the darker reds on the left hand. Bogotá Blackberry would be a great addition to this list. Out of the ten, surprisingly, I only own Cajun Shrimp - love the color, hate the application because I can't seem to avoid streaks.
And I would love to see a video of those limited edition Dior polishes!

[@TheSalonLife]

OMG yes, Bogota also was famous. I remember when it came out!
I have to do OPI Most Iconic Reds PART 2 with all the suggestions!!

[@isabellahunt7319]

Bogotá Blackberry and A Little Guilt Under the Kilt are my go-to’s for the holidays. I love OPI’s shimmery reds

[@Skaleezay]

Loved this video so much! Helped me decide on which red to get for the holiday season ❤💫

[@genevievecaptville5229]

I love raising your voice!

[@TheSalonLife]

It is gorgeous!! ❤️

[@cynthiacarter532]

The best OPI “red” on me is Dutch Tulips-it has a slight pink tone in it instead of orange or blue.

[@ryannt.2143]

Retired OPI Shades of red I am never without. especially for the holiday season are Over and Over-a-Gwen & A man in every port-ugal

[@ewabydgoska8544]

You are so welcome!🤗

[@TechieTexan]

I have OPI Red and I'm Not Really a Waitress. I think I have Big Apple Red but I want to add Malaga Wine to my collection. OPI is legit my favorite nail polish brand of all time!!! These reds are amazing!!!

[@susankoehler2658]

It is so hard to choose a favorite. They are all beautiful colors. And please do swatches of those lovely Dior colors. Great job as always!

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Susan! ❤️

[@missrose0077]

OPI RUDOLPH RED was far and away the best Christmas red ever put on the market.
The micro red sparkles in a gorgeous red color have not been duplicated since.
All too often we find too much silver or the color is too burgundy such as with runner-up Ruby Pumps.
To this day 30 years in the business people still talk about Rudolph Red being the best.
Discontinued bottles can be found on the internet for $25.00 to $60.00 but I have to wonder about quality since this came out in the mid-2000s.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a similar replacement?

[@geminidragonreads]

My Coca Cola red is not that orange. It looks deeper on me, but I love it as my summer red. I definitely need to get big apple red!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Of course Big Apple Red is the best red, it’s associated with my hometown, the Big Apple NYC ♥️🤣
But I will say, while I think China Glaze doesn’t have the greatest staying power, so you really have to be strategic with the top coat you use, their Red Pearl is my absolute favorite Christmas Color.

[@Geannie123]

I would love to see a video of the Christian Dior polishes please!! 🙏😃

[@TheSalonLife]

Yay!! Thank you :)))) 🙏

[@pretty393]

Big Apple Red is THE perfect red! 😍

[@donnamahoney8589]

Hi Anna! (Or anyone). I love these reds. I’m looking for similar to “I’m not really a waitress” in CND Shellac or Vinylux with that lovely sheen. Also a green with the same kind of sheen, like you would get on Christmas balls. Any suggestions?

[@lizzie5231]

Favourites: Relentless Ruby and Raisin the Bar.

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

Since you have so many great polishes at your studio... in your opinion which Dazzle Dry red is closest to Big Apple Red? It would be wonderful if you could do a video comparing DD colors to the iconic or popular mainstream colors ( OPI, Essie...) TYVM!

[@Lakewaveboat]

My mom’s favorite polish is Cajun shrimp. She only changes to a different color maybe twice a year.

[@AmyLSchulte]

Color So Hot It Berns. The most amazing OPI red, IMO.

[@Ohkeh640]

What would be best for warm undertones?

[@sokunthy9006]

My favourite nails color 😍😘

[@meaganhiller3029]

I am having a big problem with infinite shine! They thicken up, and some colors are a pain to work with! They seem to dry while I’m painting! Super frustrating!

Thank you so very much Giovanna!!! We really appreciate your support ❤️

[@beatricroft]

I love a few reds that are in there (malaga wine, big apple red, I'm not really a waitress) but my fave one so far is an underrated OPI called "got the mean reds" 😀 highly recommend it ! Plus holidays are a perfect time to wear red 😍

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Béa! I have to check that one out! Thank you for your suggestion!

[@beatricroft]

@@TheSalonLife you are welcome 🤗 its from the breakfast at tiffanys collection! Hope you can still find it 😀

[@lizzie5231]

I have on Got the Mean Reds now for the first time. Can't say I like the formula or how smudgy it is when removing. It is a special colour though.

[@merelhoekstra7330]

These red colours are beautiful and your nailwork is perfect! When his nails are dry your friend/husband is going to get the groceries? 🤣

[@TheSalonLife]

We actually just did that. Grocery shopping with the beautiful red nail polishes on.

[@merelhoekstra7330]

I am sorry, but when I saw your first video earlier this week I couldn’t stop laughing! Such a patiënt model ☺️

[@TheSalonLife]

That's good. Laughter is very healthy :)) 🤗

[@pisceslove9]

I love Big Apple Red!! It's the perfect red. But unfortunately it always chips the next day or so.😕 Maybe I need a new bottle since it's runny and thin.

[@evasavonith6234]

😀 😍 🤩
I believed before that blue and grey would be the perfect colours for Gents Manicure! Well. You Guys surprised me how good #redNails can fit!!! Wow! I mean, could you guess this?!
And still you do not reveal the Secret to us: how did you get your Man to do this? 😀 I'm waiting! 😃
You could give a Gents Manicure Manual here!
Point 1:
How to get them so far?!
(There is sth you Mix in their Food or Drink? Just Kidding.) 🙂
Oh, I have to go for that Ruby OPI! This will be my next Purchase. Oh and Raisin your Voice, not just for Christmas, also for Bellydance, exactly my Vibe!

[@carlanuit8615]

hi! have you guys notice any difference between the normal nail polish and the infinite shine version? I noticed that with a good primer and the essie gel couture top coat last and shines the same

[@TheSalonLife]

Infinite Shine and Essie Gel Couture are both long lasting polishes. They last about the same. From what I hear Essie GC might last better. Both were linked to some nail surface damage after long term use though.

[@vanitygirl6989]

I like all of them pretty much. But if I have to choose, it would be “We The Female”, “Coca Cola Red” and raisin the bar”. I have most of them, but I never wear red polish and I don’t know why ? :)

[@TheSalonLife]

Same lol. I love it and I have so many of them but I never wear it. I always think it's a good idea but I never end up using it. Thank God I have clients to work on :))))

[@California_Nation_Laurent]

Anna, I'm with you. MSL was all bouncy, I was witness to it. MSL, Anna just treats you like a mannequin, pushing you, pulling you and in general, manhandles you like you have no feelings. LOL Hi guys, hope all is well. As for color, I'd have to say Coco-Cola and Big Red Apple (Big Apple Red?) were my faverites. Anna, you must have been a surgeon in a past life, you're hands are so steady and do such precision work. I'm still so envious. Thanks for the fun (as always) vid. Have a great day. - Laurent

[@TheSalonLife]

LOL, good one! (laughing out loud)

[@TheSalonLife]

Looks like Chanel Malice which I loved too!

[@saragillihan484]

I have Big Apple Red and I'm Not Really a Waitress.

[@SmellMyWax]

What brushes do use for your OPIs? Will they fit into the original OPI caps? I have some brushes from KBShimmer and Glisten&Glow (I think both brands use the same brushes), but haven't tried them in my OPI polishes because I'm not sure if the brushes will fit with the OPI caps, and I prefer all of my OPIs to have their original caps. Lol. 🙈
Also, now that I've seen them side by side, I definitely prefer the Infinite Shine formula of I'm Not Really a Waitress, compared to the original. The shimmer particles were slightly bigger in the IS version, making it sparkle. Great video!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, its from KB shimmer. Again I forgot to include the link.

[@TheSalonLife]

here is the link Brittany!! bit.ly/3kdGhwH

[@TheSalonLife]

PS. OMG I'm scattered! The brushes do fit OPI cap (the Infinite Shine). I will try the other caps tomorrow and I will let you know. I might even do a quick video on IG @thesalonlife.ca

@@TheSalonLife Awesome! Yes, I have always been curious to know about the caps. Thanks so much! I followed on IG also!

What dip powder do you recommend?

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Megan! I'm not a fan of dip powders. I tried the Young Nails ones and I wasn't sold.

[@Megan.Reeves]

@@TheSalonLife after developing onycholysis, my nail tech put on tips and dip powder for strength. What do you suggest?

[@TheSalonLife]

Why did you develop onycholysis? Normally I would say keep the nails short (to avoid more trauma to the nail plate and nail bed). Keeping the nails short and dry helps the nail plate re-attach to the nail bed. I would personally never extend them.

[@Megan.Reeves]

@@TheSalonLife I have no idea how I got it. I was going to someone new. The dip powder at least has my fingers covered and dry.I hope they grow back. It was kind of scary!
