Nude Alert (08)

Sephora Nude Alert (08) Ultra Shine Lip Gel ($14.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark coral with copper and gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly. The shimmer is fine and gives it an almost metallic-like sheen at times, as there is quite a bit of it.
