Swatch: Nails Inc - Luminous Red Metallic

Nails Inc and Colgate recently got together, when you bought the toothpaste you got a free nail polish. There were two polishes to choose from, a Matte Red and this a Metallic Red. This is also an exact dupe of Nails Inc Roland Gardens.

I had a quick look through my collection and found I don't actually have any polishes this colour which is always good! Neither of these other polishes I seem to have swatched properly. A polish which I think is very similar to this one is Barry M Retro Red Lady in Red.
