Love this gloss, just love. I'm not a big lipgloss person, since I find them too tacky and heavy to wear for more than a few hours. Even so, I got suckered into this one by the color and I coudn't be happier. Wonder gloss by Nars is smooth and not sticky at all. The color is a wearable orange with beautiful yet subtle gold and pink glitter. It can be worn as a wash (which I do everyday) or built up for a nice, almost opaque color. Really, try this color, it's gorgeous! Can't wait to try it over a red lip for the holidays.

If you want the supposed tangerine dream Nars has delivered. Perfect judgement of a hue that can look awful on the face despite cynical promotions and photoshop tweakings....tangerine tint on a cool blonde but pigmented enough on the dark, yes.
This works as a worthy orange-tinted translucent stinging tinge like you sucked a mandarine on a cool winter day.
A lovely, luxurious, quality item, with enough pigment to register (so many 'glosses' don't). If you would like something *orange* try this! It is the warmest possible effect.

At a first glance this looks way too orange and vibrant but on it looks wonderful (no joke intended). I am NW20 and this worn with blue or grey eyeshadows is perfect for both summer and winter. I like the constancy too- not too 'gloopy' or sticky like MAC lip glass and it lasts well too.

One of my favorite NARS products. I am pale and have a fear of orange lip products. When applied lightly, this gives me a touch of sheer, yet vibrant orange, that doesn't overwhelm my face. The formula on this particular shade is quite moisturizing.

I just bought this gloss to wear over Sephora's It Girl lipstick and it's wonderful! It's a bit redder than It Girl and it adds just enough red to keep the lipstick from being too orangey. I love that it's not sticky and that it has enough pigment to be worn alone as well as over blotted lipstick. It also has no taste or scent which is good because I'm picky about tastes and scent. I have light olive skin and this is a great shade!

Lovely bright orange (might be a very orangey coral on some skin colours).

Pros:
- perfect for summer
- lot of pigment
- long lasting
- quite hydrating over lip balm or lipstick (or in my case Nars Red Square Velvet Matte Lip Pencil)
- Just a yummy juicy shade with a little bit of shimmer (which does not make it overtly shimmery as such - just bright)

Cons:
- As with all Nars lipglosses the smell is not great at all
- Expensive!!

Cheaper Orangey Alternatives:
- Revlon's Firecracker is absolutely gorgeous. it's sheer and not as pigmented as Nars Wonder, but still quite pigmented for a sheer gloss, as in you can see it's a wash of orange, even on dark skin tones> Most importantly feels great on your lips and and is long lasting.

IMO you should get both if you are a fan of orange lippie! :)

This gloss is hot hot hot! It's a fiery orange-red with gold shimmer - similar to Nars Babe, but shimmery, brighter and more orange/coral. I also compared it to Stila Sweet Orange lip glaze and it's basically a more pigmented, opaque version of that. I thought this might be a little much for my NC20 skin, but with neutral or soft gold eye shadow and an all-over dusting of bronzer it looks fantastic. It would be especially pretty on warm, medium to dark skin tones. Wonder should be in everyone's summer gloss arsenal (along with Nars Sunset Strip.)

This new gloss was sold out at the first three Sephoras I tried. Finally nabbed it at the one near Times Square. It is a very intensely pigmented deep coral color without any sparkles. Although it looks nearly opaque in the tube, I was still hoping it would go on a bit sheerer, but when I mix it with a clear gloss, it is perfect.
