The line gets constantly updated and #133 Before Winter was released during fall 2013 as part of a limited collection called "Fall in Velvet", which consist of matte nail colors only. #133 is called Before Winter, though I don't think the shade's name is in any relation to the actual color, but just supposed to fit a fall collection. Ob all official product photos this shade looked like a pretty brown, but the real appearance is quite different. #133 is a grayish plum shade.
I cannot really say that I liked this shade. It looks kind of dirty and dull. Most of all I am so disappointed because I was expecting something very different.
The worse part about this nail color is that it is impossible to apply. It dries extremely fast, so you have to hurry or it will look even more messed up. You have to apply the nail color with fast and even strokes and, at least for me, just one layer turns out to look hideous on my nails as it is extremely streaky and see-through and if the layer is too thin, my nails don't look painted, but as if they were just horribly dirty.I also think the brush is weird. There is always a thick blob of nail color stuck in the middle of the brush, that just won't make it to the tip of the brush, making applying the nail color even more difficult.
The only good thing I can say about this is that, because it dries so fast, you can pretty much start applying a second layer once you have finished the first, and you get full coverage with 2-3 layers, but even then the texture of each single brush stroke remains visible on the nails.
As a comparison to this I really have to show you the nail color on Etude House's official product photos:←
As you can see, what you see is not what you get.I am very disappointed in this nail color. everything from the shade, brush, application and coverage is really bad in my opinion.
