Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie Mixtaupe (As If) - Part 2

From left to right: Urban Jungle (Colors in the Wild, Summer 2014), Mixtaupe, Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), You’re So Vain-illa (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Jacqueline (Lovely, Spring 2013), Taylor (Naturel, Spring 2014), Prelude to a Kiss (Cool Romance, Spring 2012), Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015)

Mixtaupe is reminiscent of one of my all time favorite Essies Urban Jungle, in fact it’s close enough you don’t need both. Mixtaupe is a bit more pink toned but they’re rather close. Everything else is way different though. Nothing else has anywhere close to the amount of white.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Soak Up the Sun (Sunrise Sunset)

Stay tuned for a more in-depth comparison swatch for Kill ‘Em with Kindness!

From left to right: Urban Jungle (Colors in the Wild, Summer 2014), Vanna (Set Sail, May 2015), Jacqueline (Lovely, Spring 2013), Soak Up the Sun, One Chic Chick (Soft Shades 2016, Spring 2016), Lemon Drop (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Kill ‘Em with Kindness (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Whip it Good (Lite Brites, Summer 2016)

My first thought was to compare it to Lemon Drop from last year, but Soak Up the Sun is a lot dustier and more orange toned. Urban Jungle’s too pink toned, Whip it Good is super bright, and Kill ‘Em with Kindness is brighter and squishier. Everything else is fairly close. Vanna is lighter and more nude toned, One Chic Chick is more yellow, and Jacqueline has a subtle shimmer, but they’re all really close.

China Glaze Rebel Comparisons - Fresh Prince-ss

From left to right: Urban Jungle (Colors in the Wild, Summer 2014), Luella (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Piper (Classics), Sweet Memories (Honeymoon Soft Shades, Spring 2005), Fresh Prince-ss, Something Sweet (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Mod About You (Brighter by the Dozen, Summer 2006), Candy Girl (Sweets for my Sweet, Spring 2016), Pink-ing of You (Classics, here from the 2013 Pink of Hearts), Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Reese (Collection unknown, 2013), Castaway (Summertime, Summer 2004)

Here’s a nice line from light to dark. The closest are Sweet Memories, Something Sweet, and Mod About You. Fresh Prince-ss is kind of a tutu pink.
