Out of a recent collection of mostly re-promotes (like Sinful usually does), this one new and theoretically limited edition shade had us nail bloggers all aflutter: Prosecco.

Prosecco is a cool, pale taupe packed with a color-shifting shimmer that goes from gold to copper to green. The shimmer reminds me a lot of the sort found in a few of the OPI James Bond polishes, like On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

It's a little sheer, and not quite watery. 2-3 coats are necessary to get this even, but it cleans up very easily, without a shimmer-fest stuck all over you, though in macros it seems like the shimmers may actually be micro-flakes.

The combination of taupe + metallic flakes reminded me pretty quickly of Orly's Nite Owl, so I pulled out the bottles & swatch sticks for comparison.
Nite Owl is darker and more opaque, and has silver shimmer to Prosecco's greenish gold. Interestingly enough, the two seem opposite each other to me: Prosecco is a much cooler color with warm-toned shimmer, while Nite Owl is warmer with cool silver shimmer.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. A pretty, soft neutral, with a nice flash of sparkle.
Where to buy: Sinful Colors is carried at many drugstores. There may be some of this left in stores, or you might need to cruise ebay or blog sales. Thankfully, a lot of SC's LEs end up coming back at some point or another if you missed it the first go-round.
