How it wears
Because gloss formulas are translucent, Pricey may shift with natural lip tone. On deeper lips it can read softer unless paired with a deeper liner.

Lip liner pairings
Use liner for shape and contrast
Pricey can read different depending on liner depth. Softer liners keep it easy and warm, while deeper liners add contrast and structure.
Soft warm brown liner
Keeps Pricey in a warm rosy-brown direction without adding too much contrast.
Neutral rose-brown liner
Adds shape and keeps the gloss from reading too light at the lip edge.
Deeper cocoa-brown liner
Creates stronger definition if Pricey looks too soft on deeper lips.

Dupes and similar shades
I would not call any shade an exact NYX Butter Gloss Bling Pricey dupe without side-by-side swatches. The closest comparisons should be judged by depth, rosy warmth, reflectivity, and gloss translucency.
The nearest options will likely come from warm rosy-brown gloss shades, not very cool mauves or very deep brown glosses.
