Wheel W3: Brownish Red and Dark Red Shimmers

Yes, Nail Wheel Wednesday is back. My queue of swatched but not yet shared polishes is back down to more reasonable levels (though the unswatched line is a disorderly mob), and I missed the structure that having a wheel in the middle of the week gives me, so here I am, with 20 red shimmers, some on the bronzey/brownish side, some on the dark and very dark end of the value gradation, and some only very subtly shimmery.



(all two coats, no topcoat, except as noted below)

1. NARS Bohemia (3 coats) [mmm, duochrome]
2. Accessorize Bronze (3) [mmm, very similar duochrome
3. OPI DS Jewel (4) [from the no more holo DS years]
4. CQ Idyllic
5. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Black Cherry Frost (3) [frosty shimmer]
6. Nina Ultra Pro Viva la Velvet [sparkly shimmer]
7. Sally HansenLacquer Shine Shining
8. Maybelline Colorama Vampire Seduction
9. Maybelline Express Finish Grape [barely shimmery]
10. Maybelline Express Finish Bronze Aluminum
11. Essie Decadent Diva

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
