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.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Throne-In' Shade (Street Regal)

From left to right: Tatum (Naturel 3, Spring 2017), You’re So Vain-illa (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), Prelude to a Kiss (Cool Romance, Spring 2012), Shay (Touch, Winter 2011), Chantal & Taylor (Naturel, Spring 2014), Throne-in’ Shade, Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015), Cathy (Naturel 3, Spring 2017), Emperor’s New Clothes (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016). Swatch Stick: China Glaze What’s She Dune (Desert Escape, Summer 2015)

Now this color isn’t really my jam so I don’t have much like Throne-in Shade. Taylor and What’s She Dune are the closest things in my repertoire to Throne-in Shade but you probably already have something else like it.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tatum and Cathy (Naturel 3)

From left to right: Chantal (Naturel, Spring 2014), Tatum, You’ve So Vain-illa (Coca-Cola, Summer 2014), Taylor (Naturel, Spring 2014), Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), Spencer (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Prelude to a Kiss (Cool Romance, Spring 2012), Shay (Touch, Spring 2012), Cathy, Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015), Avril (Suede, Summer 2004), Gretchen (Spa Essentials), Emperor’s New Clothes (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016)

Cathy kind of looks like Shay without the shimmer, just a little darker. The shimmer in Shay is much less apparent on the nail than in the bottle, so they’re even closer. Phyllis is also close enough you don’t need them both. As for Tatum, it’s in the same boat as Vain-illa especially (if you have one you don’t need the other), Chantal (which is much lighter and warmer though), Taylor (which is darker), and Tiramisu for Two (a little darker and cooler.)

Holiday 2016 Comparisons: Deborah Lippmann Emperor's New Clothes (Her Majesty)

From left to right: You’re so Vain-illa (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), Shay (Touch, Winter ’11-’12), Spencer (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Emperor’s New Clothes, Gretchen (Spa Essentials, 2005?), Nomad’s Dream (Painted Desert, Spring 1998)

Vain-illa, Tiramisu, and Shay are much lighter, and Tiramisu and Shay also both have more of a pink tone in them, and Shay has a slight shimmer. Nomad’s Dream likewise has a green shimmer, but the base color is close. The two closest I have are Spencer and Gretchen, and they’re close. Spencer is darker and Gretchen is also pinker but they’re all close.
