Wheel I1: Copper Shimmers

Today's Nail Wheel Wednesday is a companion to what I called dark orange shimmers before. I went with "copper" this time, but it's the same color range, pretty much. Some of these would be at home on a burgundy or wine or berry or brown wheel, too, but if I waited to swatch until I had everything perfectly sorted, I'd never swatch.

I think next week I need to do a multi-color glitter or holo wheel to break up all these same hued ones even though I have plenty more oranges to swatch (and yellows, and pink/red shimmers, etc., etc.)

    When I saw the bottle pics, I didn't think I'd like these, but on the nail wheel, those are some gorgeous shades!

    I love the copper shimmers, they make a nice change to browns/neutrals, but are still acceptable for work :) Topshop copper coated is my favourite copper/brown for the flakies :) x

    Thanks, ladies!

    There will definitely be glitter this coming week. If you want to get warmed up for that, you can look up the only other time I posted a glitter wheel:
