I was originally going to just wear Superchic Lacquer's Rotten to the Carameled Core since it is a thermal with a green to brown transition. The resulting caramel apple look was amazing. Sadly, my bottle is three years old and the thermal effect died. It had a long run at least.
I discovered that the thermal effect contributed to its opacity. While I initially wore three coats, I still had pronounced VNL. A fourth coat helped. I wish I could've applied more glitter but it had sunk badly to the bottom. I shook the bottle and placed it upside down between coats but that was the best I could get.
Since just wearing a thermal was a no go, I figured that I just make my own caramel. Instead of combining butter and sugar in a hot pan I mixed brown, peach, and yellow acrylic paint until it looked like caramel. It's a bit darker than I liked but I still like the effect.
