Creator Dave describes this as a "blushing cinnamon linear holographic with gold and holo flakies." The base color is a dark, rich, somewhat cool-toned brown along the lines of bole. It is densely packed with overt golden flakies that warm the color, suffusing it with brightly gleaming bronze and copper flecks that give the polish a luxurious, fire-lit quality. Holographic flakies add a generous sprinkling of prismatic sparks to the look. The holographic flare in direct sun is dispersed by the gold flakes to more of a scattered type of display, with gold, bronze and copper joining rainbow colors in a field of brilliant sparkle.
Application was fantastic. The consistency of Reindeer Wolfcastle is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and a fluent, tractable, self-leveling spread over the nail. Pigmentation is very good. This is a jelly-lish kind of formula with a degree of built-in translucence. Wearably opaque coverage can be had in two medium coats, but I liked three even better. Cleanup is straightfoward. Reindeer Wolfcastle dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish.

The name of this polish kills me, it sounds so random! What's up with that, Dave? Plus, I misremembered it early on as "Rudolph Wolfenstein" for some reason (talk about random, said the kettle to the pot) and now that name is stuck in my head and I keep having to refer to my resources to make sure that I'm typing the right thing!
Cool on the outside, warm on the inside! This is a splendid winter brown, filled with gleaming metallic bits that remind me of firelight flickering over polished brass -- a cozy, opulent, epicurean kind of sensibility. Well done!
love,
Liz
