Yes! I always prefer a shimmer to nail polish, I don't like the 'creme' colors as much, I need that shimmer, it looks so rich - especially in Bogota Blackberry.
I loooove this thread & topic, but I’m having SO much trouble narrowing down my favorite reds! I have a shameful number 
. I am always in search of that elusive “perfect” shade/formula for my skin tone and the season...
Here are some great reds (1 Zoya & 3 OPI). I favor blue-based, deep reds vs. warmer, orange-based reds, so my fav from this group is OPI Got the Blues for Red (pinky finger).

For luxury brands, I enjoy several Tom Ford polishes, which I learned about from TPF member hotshot (who is a red connoisseur!)
This is Tom Ford Smoke Red

Ditto Gitane, also Chanel Pirate.
I'm also a fan of Zoya Elisa for a more "lit from within" kind of red.
I quite literally have 4 bottles of this color in case they discontinue it!
Oh drool! What a nice range of orange- & blue- based red cremes, plus a vamp and some bling. I don’t have much experience with Deborah Lippman polishes/formulas, but just looking at this collection makes my red-o-holic heart happy
