The Ninja usually swatches in a system of sorts. She starts with the colors she thinks she's least likely to enjoy, working towards what looks to be the gem of the collection. This is easy in some collections where there's an obvious clunker or a shade The Ninja suspects will look particularly craptastic on her skin. There are other collections where none of the shades look sketchy, but one must prioritize anyway. So, while Foxy looked pretty in the bottle, since it's a "warm" shade (or so The Ninja thought), and these usually are less flattering on her, she decided to swatch it early in the Vintage Vixen collection.
Foxy is no clunker.
A fall red with gold (maybe copper? maybe a little of both?) microshimmer. In the bottle, this shade looked warm, meaning it appeared to be a bit orange-red to The Ninja. Not so! In reality, it's a deep wine-red. China Glaze says "burgundy frost with shimmer". The Ninja would not call this a frost, by the way. The polish brings to mind swirling fall leaves and certainly the image of a gorgeous ruddy fox and, perhaps inexplicably, a caramel apple. Maybe that's just The Ninja, though.

These swatches are two coats, both of which applied beautifully (not nearly as thickly as Classic Camel and Emerald Fitzgerald). The first few shots in the slideshow below are taken in indirect light. The rest are taken in the sun, so you can see the gold/copper (?) shimmer. The last shot shows how easily this color appears to morph (it doesn't really change- just seems to) depending on the light --- it's compared the definitely burgundy Ninjamobile, about a foot away from the other shots.
Again, a definite "Win" from this collection and a shade that The Ninja will be wearing again and again.
