Adorned Nails: KOH Red!


If you’re wondering why I’m shouting out the name, well, I’m not! That’s actually how KOH names its nail polishes on the website! You see, the names all end with exclamation marks! It’s as if KOH exclaims with joy each time a new colour is christened and given a seal of approval for release!

......That’s my theory anyway.

This is the nail polish that I got during the promotion that KOH was having back in November. Some of you might remember this from my article on my first ever visit to the KOH Experience Shop, now better known to you as the nail polish heaven.

KOH Red is a bold, quite Ferrari-like glossy red. It’s perhaps a tad less red than the Ellis Red lipstick of ELLIS FAAS but still very out there. I thought that its consistency was less thick than the one of KOH Rain Forest. Application was easy and the formula for this red was very forgiving for less than perfect strokes. Opacity was achieved with just one coat. I painted two to intensify the red. I’ve entered Day 3 and I see slight chipping but then again, I didn’t use any top coat and I’ve been doing household chores.

KOH Red is one of the ten nail polishes currently featured in the Let's KOH Away! giveaway, in Pair No. 5 to be exact.

In the bottle, it’s a fabulous red. On the nails, it’s simply glamorous! I’m smitten. Are you feeling the love?

    Yes, it is! It's a very basic red and I believe this is one of the earliest colours of KOH.

    @Danielle
    Am so glad you love this red! Thanks so much for your kind words about the nails. I'd attribute the prettiness (using your words) to the nail polish, really. Heh heh!

    @Carine
    I agree! A bold and confident statement indeed! :)

    @Michèle
    Thank you! We can never go wrong with red, right?

    Pity that your visit to the shop was interrupted. Ha ha, quite literally saved by the bell! Well, get your shopping list ready for your next visit! :D

    @Meme
    I'm with you on that. Red nails are much easier to deal with than red lips, in my opinion. :)

    @Naoko
    Yes, it's gorgeous! And I'd love to see your nails with the OPI red that you've just ordered. :)

    @GirL With GLasSes
    It's a lovely red. I find myself always stealing looks at my nails. :D

    @Evil Angel
    True! This vampy red will never get outdated. :)

    @Miss K. You
    These red nails on the steering wheel of a Ferrari? Tssssssss......too sizzling hot! :D

    @Shaim
    Yeah, I'm so amazed at how glossy it looks in the photos! :)

    @Mz. More
    Thanks! Red nails can certainly push the glam factor up several notches for any look. :)

    @KONADomania
    Thank you! It's such a look-at-me red. :D

    @Linda
    Thanks, my dear. Those photos were taken without flash, so even I am amazed at how shiny the polish looks! :)

    @tris1978ton
    Yes, those are my own nails. I've never used falsies before. :D

    Gosh, thanks for your kind words. If they look professional, I would blame it on the nail polish and certainly not my application skills. Ha ha! This polish was easy to work with. Imperfect paint strokes somehow disappeared by themselves! :)

    @Cynthia
    Ha ha! Great minds think alike, my dear. :D I'm pleased that you love this red.

    @Shop N' Chomp
    Yay! I'm so glad you approve of this glossy red. :)

    What a generous score you've given! :D I think this is the most basic of reds and I too find the glossiness quite astounding! The photos were taken in daylight, btw. :)
