Courtney describes Red Hot Momma as "a rich, heavily pigmented red creme." The color is a medium-toned Indian red, so named after the reddish, iron oxide laden soil found in India, with a creamy, clay-like demeanor and aspects of red-orange and terra cotta. It reminds me a little bit of that famous orange-ish lipstick that changed colors once applied, Tangee. I don't know why because it's definitely much more of a red than an orange, but it's got a certain feisty, retro quality that I can't quite put my finger on.
Application was lovely. Red Hot Momma has a fluid, full-bodied, very creamy consistency with a medium viscosity and a lush, velvety glide over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent. With a careful hand, completely even opaque coverage can be had in one coat. I used two for this manicure for the same reason I always do, to correct and finesse all the lines left wanting after my first coat, but it didn't change the look one bit. Cleanup was surprisingly issue-free. Red Hot Momma dries naturally in good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

The color of this polish photographs a bit brighter and cleaner than it appears in person. In addition to the retro vibe I mentioned above, it reminds me of certain kinds of polished red coral. I can also see it as a canyon-colored sort of red that would probably make an excellent pairing with turquoise for nail art with a southwestern flair.
