A beautiful, highly pigmented peachy-pink gloss without any shimmer. Actually has some coverage unlike most of my lipglosses that are sheer.
Unfortunately, it has an unpleasant smell; hence, i only gave it 4 lippies.

This is a lovely color but I don't like the smell/taste of it so away it goes to MUA. I don't like the way most of NARS lip glosses taste -- they should so something about it!

A pretty highly pigmented grapefruit pink lip gloss, that is definitely not just for summer. It is not that sheer but provides coverage more like a lipstick would. Not a bright lip color, but not too muted either. No sparkle or glitter whatsoever, so great for daytime.

I love this color! I only wear it at nighttime because during the day I go for a more natural look. This color packs quite a punch. Its a very vibrant raspberry bright pink color. It looks amazing on.

This gloss looks pretty on the outside, but I found it was horrid on my pale, fair skin. It is highly pigmented and even one swipe of it was too dark for my complexion. The gloss does have a rather odd smell to it. I find sometimes it is a little disgusting. The gloss tends to glop towards the opening and leak. I find I have to take a tissue once in a while and clean around the opening. Altogether, a very disappointing and expensive purchase.

Do not be scared about how bright the colour is in the bottle. Frisky Summer is a gloss that I use when I need a bit of a pop, I'm pretty fair and find that a little goes a long way, one swipe on the upper and lower lips and it lasts ages. The fact that it sort of stains the lips as it wears out is something I actually like. Its a great gloss, not too sticky but it does kind of smell like old school lipsticks (not sure how else to describe the scent). Its rather pricey but I've had it for over 2 years and use this probably once a week and it still keeps chugging on with no end in sight!

When I unscrewed the cap on this gloss for the first time, I was a bit worried. The gloss was brighter than I expected - a creamy corally pink without shimmer. It's also more pigmented than most NARS glosses. However, it looks really flattering on. It's pigmented enough to cover my naturally mauve-y rosy lips and goes well with the golden undertones in my skin. I usually line my lips with MAC subculture lip liner, apply NARS Napoli lipstick and top with Frisky Summer gloss. Adds a pop of color to my lips and is perfect for springtime!

Frisky Summer looks like a shade Rose Mcgowan would wear, especially on Charmed... it's a very pretty slightly bright medium natural pink with no shimmer and maybe a slight touch of coral. Would looks great on light skin.

This is just a beautiful natural colour! This is THE colour for me, so natural.
The colour is a coral pinkish colour with no shimmer which makes it super natural.

It makes the lines on your lips disappear and plumps it nice and juicy all at once.

The price IS expensive, for $29 CDN, which is more than their blush, and that is injust, after buying this, it makes the blush a better deal, which means I'm going to buy more NARS blush.

I love this bright pink. It looks so beautiful paired with YSL volupte lipstick in Lingerie Pink which is the perfect pink. It's great on its own and seems to leave a nice pink stain after a while. One of my fav gloss.

This is a bright, cheery, pink color. Great for warmer weather as it perks up and brightens. I like the NARS gloss formula, don't find it stinky or anything like that and am a big fan because they are fragrance free.
I took one lippie off because I find this can be a bit of a strange color if applied heavily - since I'm fair. If I apply lightly it is a beautiful carnation pink..sort of coral but more on the pink side. If I am a bit heavy handed it is a freaky, weird looking colour that doesn't work for my skintone but would work for medium-dark gals. I'd say it was buildable color and wears really nicely as it fades.

Gorgeous summer color. It's a creamy bright pink with a touch of coral. No shimmer that I can see, good coverage, definitely not too sheer. Love it, except of course, for the packaging!

This is a really gorgeous gloss. Perfect for summer with its vibrant warm pinky peach tones. Nice and creamy opaque shine with no sparkle. Not sticky and wears alright for a gloss. I like to team this with a sparkley peachy blush. Just one of those glosses that makes you feel instantly prettier.

I'm pale with a neutral skin tone and this color works brilliantly on me! Frisky Summer comes off as a creamy vivid warm pink. Just enough color to make me look radiant but not too over the top to be distracting. What I'm not a big fan of is the NARS lack of scent. I prefer Guerlain KissKiss Laque or Dior glosses, but I'm still fine with the overall performance of this gloss. It wears well without bleeding (yay!) and stays put nicely. I found that I could sheer this down by applying a layer of smooth lip balm first (Laura Mercier SPF 15 lip balm) and I tend to do this method when I want 'shy' lips. :) I think Guerlain makes a Laque in a similar color, and I'll try this next instead of repurchasing Frisky Summer, but I still recommend this gloss to others.

This is a pretty bright rasberry pink. You can layer for a more dramatic, sexy look or you can use a small dab for a more girly effect. Great for summer. Don't know if I'll be using it much during winter, but right now I'm loving it!

I got this in a swap a couple of months ago and honestly, I don't know if I would have bought it in the store. I love NARS lip products, but I am just so accustomed to nude/pale lips that this is sort of a step up for me.

In the tube, it is a bright coraly-pink -- very pretty. It shows up a little more muted on the lips, and like the other NARS glosses without shimmer (ie. Turkish Delight, Chihuahua, etc.) the consistency is quite light and not tacky at all. It's not plastic-y shiny like MAC Lipglasses or Lancome JT's, so if you're accustomed to that, this may not be the thing for you.

For reference, I am NC25, with dark hair and eyes, and this does brighten up my face without looking overdone. I would probably purchase if I ever ran out.

This shade is gorgeous, but it just looks "off" on me. To be fair, corals dont suit me. I am not crazy about the texture, I feel like it goes on my lips unevenly or something.

Great pink/coral color. It goes on light and has just the right amount of shine. It's a good lipgloss if you only want a little bit of shine.
