Awesome, expensive and can last for many hours. I love this brand and I also have the dark pink color in a lipgloss pot.

Hands down my favourite lipgloss ever! I'm NC30, warm/yellow skin tones. Applies tangerine coloured initially but settles down in a few minutes to a warm, peach hue with a nice golden even sheen (not GLITTER). What a nice sexy looking golden sheen! It is not a yellow gold golden colour, more like a uhh..peach + beige + a bit of orangey coral all churned up with tiny tiny micro gold flecks as a base. (Geez, think I busted some nerves in my brain trying to come up with the description of the colour. Obviously I'm not really good at it :P) I got my first 2 tubes in Bangkok (they don't have Nars here in Malaysia..sooo sad), but ordered my third one from strawberrynet.com. It is cheaper at the website as opposed to getting them in Bangkok. (And no, I'm not working for or affiliated with strawberrynet. I'm just one of their rabid loyal customer)

This color is so beautiful. An electric orange coral lip gloss. Fades a little quick and not ultra moisturizing.

Almost every single other lip color I own is a nude/peachy/beigey/pink, like pale pink is dramatic for me, so this color is so not "me" but I love it. I rarely wear it because I feel that it looks so bold on my because I'm not used to the look, but it's a really great color if I do want something different and I love how I look in pictures wearing it. I also love it over Nars Niagara lipstick, which is super dramatic for me, but sooo pretty!

Appears as a shimmery peachy orange on my brown pigmented lips, and really compliments my asian skintone.

Hm. This is an interesting color. In the tube, it looks like a bright tangerine/peach shade. This is a very unique gloss imo. In a stroke, it applies thick and metallic peachy orange on your lips, but you can (and you will want to) sheer this out. Once sheered, it's a pretty metallic-y/frosty coral/peach on my pigmented lips. It's not crazy OTT metalic/frosty, but it's nice and subtle and wear-able. Like I said, it's really hard to explain. It sits kinda funny on my lips for a while, and then it sort of smooths itself out after a while (which is why I took a lippie off.) Aside from that, this is a lovely spring/summer color on my MAC NC30-35 skintone.

Sunset strip is a very pretty summer color. It's a pretty tangerine-gold color. It looks a little frosty (on me anyway) with a slight sheen (if that makes any sense...) and I quite like it. Also, this gloss and Nars' Gina blush compliment each other well.

i was looking for a unscented peach lipgloss that wouldn't be frosty or too orangy or too pale .

and sunset strip so far is the best color i have found. in the tube it looks scary bright orange- but on my lips it is peach.- i wear it with my nars blush -deep throat. and it's a perfect match. i love this lipgloss and i am on my 2nd tube.

i got this in the orgasm-sunset strip duo, and i have to say that this end blows orgasm out of the water. sunset strip, as so many reviewers have mentioned, is a peachy-orange -- a tangerine lipgloss with fine gold shimmer that somehow manages to be demure and outrageous all at once. its a weird juxtaposition, but its true: when i wear this lipgloss, i feel like its bright enough to be noticed, but sheer enough to be thought of as "pretty" as opposed to "wild." i wouldnt buy it again simply because i feel that its not necessarily a unique color and thus i cant justify the pricetag, plus, as with all other NARS lipglosses ive tried, the taste and scent leave much to be desired. however, i am enjoying the tube i have currently a lot.

This is one of my favorite Nars glosses. I thought it would be too orangey for my NC20 skin, but it goes on softer than it looks in the tube. It's a bright (but not overwhelmingly so) orangey peach with shimmer. It works wonderfully with Nars Torrid blush and is perfect for summer. It probably works best on neutral-warm skintones, but I bet with some bronzer applied to the rest of the face it would work on cooler tones as well.

Love this lipgloss. Perfect for going dancing. When I first start to put it on I thought "oh, too unnatural", But after spreading... "Oooh, Pretty"! It really brightens my face in a "look at me", but soft peachy orange, way. I get more compliments on this than any other lip product I own. Buy it now.

For everyone still in search of the perfect summer lipgloss: This is it! This colour is like a really pretty peachy-orange. Not too vibrant. Just right. Not outrageous at all.

It is sort of sticky, but not overly so. Goes on pretty easily and is great over lipsticks as well.

I paired it with Mac's electro ls and a star was born. lol

I got this as part of a duo together with orgasm lipgloss. I usually wear one layer of orgasm and one layer of sunset strip and mix the two colours for a peachy/pink look that is neither nudey (orgasm) nor bright (sunset strip) and works well for a daytime look. You definitely need to wear another clear gloss on top if you are after a really glossy effect, because this one by itself is not really glossy. Having said that, I would not wear this colour alone, unless later in the summer when I have a tan, because I think it shows up tacky and OTT on fair-skinned girls. The texture is quite sticky and the lasting power is average for a lipgloss. I will enjoy it as long as it lasts, but I do not think I would repurchase, as it is not so unique and if I ever felt the need for a similar colour, I could easily get a cheaper dupe.

this stuff is gross! there is nothing peach, or even coral, about it. it made my lips look the ugliest shade of orange! i looked like mimi from the drew carey show lol. the texture was very gritty and goopy. the gloss sometimes oozes out of the top as well.

Sunset strip is a wonderful shade. I usually don't look so great in corals but this one is wonderful. It is a peachy shimmery shade that is not glittery. It isn't very sticky, has good staying power and no fragrance. This shade is perfect for summer. It dosen't look so great on my pale winter skin but when I have a slight tan it is beautiful. I would *highly* recommend sunset strip!!!!

This is a truy gorgeous colour. Summery coral infused with fine gold shimmer, not enough to make it look cheap or tacky, but just enough to give your lips dimension and sophistication. I only wish this was more pigmented, and it'll be a 5 star product. It's also v. expensive

I love this color! Finally a peachy gloss that doesn't turn pink on me! Looks fabulous with a tan too! I like it better than Orgasm, much better in fact...such a summery golden peach, but i do wear it all year long. I wish it had more product in the tube though, for $23.00, you don't get much. I have bought 3 tubes in a year though! Guess it is a HG now!

Really pretty summer color, very beachy and golden. A little much for the winter but I was feeling cold and this warmed up my day. A little bronzer, this gloss and you are good to go to the beach, or just a beach party!!! Love this product!!!

Well, it's better than a cheap drugstore gloss that smells bad and dries out my lips, but I was very unimpressed. It's a sort of milky-sheer orangey color with some shimmer. This doesn't have any particular smell or taste, but it's sticky, not very glossy (not as wet-looking as most glosses are), and is too milky (semi-sheer, semi-opaque) and doesn't have the right kind of shimmer. I got this in a duo with Orgasm and didn't like it either.
