Fyrinnae’s Newcastle

Originally I thought this had been released in a pub- or English-place-name themed collection…but nope, I was wrong about that.This was released in 2005 before I became a regular-ish customer. Newcastle is a brown with a lot of gold shimmer and sparkle. It's almost like the golder cousin of Shenanigans, a shade that Fyrinnae released in March 2012 (or thereabouts.) I don't love the fact that this is more sparkle than shadow, and you really have to apply this over a base - even if you're foiling it. (You can see my wet application wasn't exactly spot on…but even my dry application, over UDPP, is nearly opaque but has a few tiny bare spots.) If you're looking for a deeper gold near-glitter that isn't actually glitter, this one can work. It probably also applies better if you use something like Stick ‘em, or Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. Fyrinnae's Newcastle is a lovely shade with lots of glam, just a bit more particular in how it wants to be applied.
