The first polish I thought of when I saw The Color that Keeps on Giving was actually the Liquid Sand Pussy Galore, which is actually really close except for the textured finish. Closest in finish is Oh Behave, which is a bit darker. Cancer is closer in color but different in finish.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Baguette Me Not (S'il Vous Play)

From left to right: Need a Vacation (Spring 2006), Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Something Sweet (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Wanderlust (Road Trip, Spring 2015), As Seen on TV (La La Land, Spring 2017), Baguette Me Not, I’m Gown for Anything! (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Summer 2016), Heather (Bouquet, Spring 2006), To Buy or Not to Buy (Navigate Her, Spring 2012), Megan (Feel, Winter 2011/12), Abby (Charming, Spring 2017), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016)

Since Baguette Me Not has a pink undertone, I decided to throw in a real pink for comparison, but, it’s obviously not close. I also was thinking Uptown Girl was a lot lighter than it was, I’m very wrong. Afternoon Delight is also much darker. Something Sweet and Wanderlust, while both in the same boat, don’t have that much purple in them. Likewise Abby doesn’t have enough pink in it. Megan is also not as pink and dustier. To Buy or Not to Buy has some subtle pink and blue glitter in there, but otherwise it’s quite close to Heather and Gown for Anything. I think if you mixed As Seen on TV and Gown For Anything/Heather/To Buy, you’d get something like Baguette Me Not. As Seen on TV is darker and Gown For Anything/Heather/To Buy are lighter.
