Urban Decay Mrs. Mia Wallace Nail Color ($15.00 for 0.30 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep red with slight shimmer.” It’s a deepened, ruby red with very fine, subtle ruby shimmer that brightens and makes the polish look more cherry red in the light. With less light, the shimmer disappears and the color appears almost blood red. NARS Paros (P, $20.00) is less shimmery, lighter. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Black Metal Dahlia (P, $10.00) is darker, more metallic. MAC Underfire (LE, $16.00) is warmer, less shimmery. MAC Get Noticed (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Dior Apparat (LE, $24.00) has gold shimmer. Chanel Rouge Fatal (LE, $27.00) is warmer, less shimmery. Le Metier de Beaute Dynasty (LE, $10.00) is cooler-toned. China Glaze Mommy Kissing Santa (LE, $7.50) is similar, more shimmery. China Glaze Merry Berry (LE, $7.50) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

It was fully opaque after two coats, though it was nearly opaque after just one coat, but it looks more plush with two. It dries down slightly faster than the average polish, and it was easy to apply–no streaking, bubbling, or pooling along the edges of the nail. It has a naturally shiny finish, though not as glossy as a top coat would be, so you may or may not find a top coat a necessary step. The polish has a black cap, as compared to the gunmetal cap of previously released shades, as it is from the Pulp Fiction collaboration. Urban Decay’s formula lasts a full seven days on me with very minor tip wear but no chipping. One thing I noticed, though, was the brush seemed longer and narrower compared to the other shades I have, which made applying the polish a bit trickier, as the brush seemed too long.
