Essie Mind Your Mittens Nail Lacquer
Essie Mind Your Mittens Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep, double diamond black teal.” It’s a cool-toned, muted, blackened teal with a cream finish. It had opaque color coverage in two coats. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it applied evenly without streaking or bubbling. Essie’s formula typically wears a week on me with minor tip wear but no chipping. NARS Superstar (LE, $19.00) is bluer, lighter. MAC Deep Sea (LE, $16.00) is brighter. Cult Nails Awakening (LE, $12.00) is a bit lighter. Essie School of Hard Rocks (LE, $8.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches.
Parka Perfect Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “serenely shimmering alpine gray.” It’s more like a muted, dusty sea foam green with very fine white shimmer. The consistency was on the thicker side, and though opaque after two coats, it was streaky and looked thicker in places (didn’t level at all). L’Oreal Now You Sea Me (P) is brighter, darker. Zoya Wednesday (P, $8.00) is brighter. MAC Hyperion (LE, $16.00) is lighter, no shimmer. China Glaze Sea Spray (LE, $8.00) is very similar. Zoya Bevin (P, $8.00) is darker. See comparison swatches.
Sable Collar Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “luxurious pearlescent cocoa plum.” It’s a cool-toned, plummy brown with lighter, warmer plum micro-shimmer running through it. It was fully opaque in two coats, and it applied evenly and smoothly. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin. There were very, very minor visible brush strokes–most of the time, I could not detect them. Guerlain Sulfurous (LE, $23.00) is much darker. Urban Decay Barlust (LE) is less plum. Le Metier de Beaute Urban Dweller (LE, $10.00) is darker and has larger shimmer (but it’s the closest of the three). See comparison swatches.

Sable Collar looks nice!
Sable Collar is just gorgeous…
What top coat do you use??
Normally I use Zoya’s!
a vote for mind your mittens! Love it!
They’re all very interesting shades.
Sable Collar is my kind of color, but I’m afraid if I get it, I will find that I have quite a few like it in my collection . Or as you bloggers would say, it is highly dupable! Hopefully I can try it at the salon first
Glad they included some more classic colors along with the overdone, trendy greens!
I like Sable Collar.
I like Sable Collar, too! Especially that shimmer in it.
I love Sable Collar! Gorgeous purple with red duochrome. And also, I just wanted to point out that on your dupe list for Sable Collar, Sable Collar is one of the dupes, just thought you should know!
Xo
That’s the point – so you can compare 🙂
OOooOooOo these are stunning. Parka Perfect is the most gorgeous mix of blue and grey.
Love love these colors! Thank you for sharing all this prettiness!
Absolutely gorgeous! Is Mind Your Mittens at all similar to MAC Blue India
mind your mittens reminds me of nicole by opi’s
“khloe had a lam lam?” from the kardashian
collection. i have’nt seen that color
in a while in my stash but it reminds me of it.
I like all 3! 🙂
I’m swooning over Sable Collar, it’s gorgeous! 🙂
Oh I really like Sable Collar!! I don’t have anything like it and I don’t wear much brown nail polish, but this I really like!
Sable Collar is cute, but I’m still on the fence as to whether or not I actually need it haha.
Mind Your Mittens looks like Chanel’s Blue Rebel – that’s tonight’s mani sorted!
I’m wearing Zoya Cynthia today, and it looks like a dead-on dupe for Mind Your Mittens. But since Zoya and Essie are pretty much the same price point, I guess that’s not that exciting!
I bought the Sable today and just put it on…absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the review!
My pleasure, Donna!
I was so in love with parka perfect and mind your mittens that I bought them both instantly!!! Lol glad to see your review after the fact, makes me even more content with my impulse buy haha.
