omorkaThe next three colors are Ddraig Goch, Fafnir, and Tarasque.
Ddraig Goch is a medium-to-dark red with a bit of metallic sheen and a slight green-aqua sparkle in the bag. On me dry, it's a warm red-brown with a coppery sheen and a lot of green-aqua sparkles; it's almost glittery. On me wet, it's metallic copper with green-aqua sparkles and a smoky red-brown undertone; I have to apply it so wet it's a paste to get the red to show up as red instead of copper. This is another one I like but don't love, but I have to admit it's versatile - the dry and wet versions almost look like two different shades. I might try highlighting this with Shimchong and seeing what happens before I make a decision.
Fafnir is a shiny metallic violet in the bag. On me dry, it's a very soft metallic violet with copper and magenta glitter. On me wet, it's a very intense metallic violet with a coppery sheen and a scattering of brighter magenta sparkles. While I'm mildly annoyed that a color named after Fafnir has no gold in it, both the wet and the dry versions of the color are lovely; the dry is fairly subtle while still being colorful, and the wet is really intense. I like it a lot, but the wet shade looks a little odd against my skin tone and hair color. It's a maybe-tending-to-yes for re-ordering, but I will definitely be using the rest of the sample bag.
Tarasque is a silvery lavender in the bag, very shiny. On me dry it's a medium grey with lavender undertones, a silver sheen, and lots of multicolored sparkles in green, teal-blue, and pink. On me wet it's a metallic deep lavender with a complex sheen - the sparkles are bluer, so it's more aqua and magenta than green and pink, and they're harder to distinguish from the overall silvery shininess. I'm in love with the dry version, honestly; it would probably merit a re-order for that alone, and the interesting intensity of the wet version makes it a definite keeper.
I'm probably going to play with these a bit more before doing the next three shades, which are a really intense warm purple, a dark blue, and a complicated green in the bag.
