MAC Instant Crush Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright coral [with a Cream finish].” It’s a brightened, medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque color coverage after two coats were applied, but the first coat was slightly streaky. Thankfully, the second coat helped to even everything out, so the end result was smooth and even. MAC Please Me (LE, $16.00) is a touch darker. MAC Comic Cute (LE, $16.00) is slightly warmer. MAC Angel (LE, $16.00) is more muted. Rescue Beauty Lounge Pepto Pink (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned.

MAC Saint Germain Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “light cool pink [with a Cream finish].” It’s a cool-toned, light pink with blue undertones and a cream finish. It had full color coverage after two coats of polish. The consistency was slightly thick but not troublesome to work with. The initial coat was somewhat streaky, but a second coat evened and smoothed everything out for better end results. Cult Nails Falling Hard (LE, $12.00) is similar. Illamasqua Harem (P, $17.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Vagabondage (LE, $16.00) is similar. MAC Pinkly Fresh (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Essie Cascade Cool (LE, $8.00) is similar.

NARS Trouville (LE, $19.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
