Totally get it, I was on the fence with it but ultimately decided it was orangey enough 😀 The name is fantastic, I always love the place-themed OPI collections for the names they come up with!

And then we have it compared to ‘Go Go Geisha.’ I would say that ‘Go Go’ is the more mauve cousin to ‘On to the Next.’ You don't have permission to access "http://www.asos.com/essie/essie-original-nail-polish-playing-koi/prd/10366800?" on this server.

Essie Fall Collection Nail Colour 426 Playing Koi - Boots

Instead of searching for dupes, I thought I would try to situate this polish for anyone who has not seen it in person by comparing it to other popular burnt orange/brown/red polishes from the falls of yore. My Italian is a Little Rusty is in the middle and of course I had to compare it to my all time favorite, OPI It’s a Piazza Cake, on the left (what’s up with these Italy collections being so good). It’s a Piazza Cake is definitely a true orange, it looks waaaaaay lighter than My Italian is a Little Rusty. To the right we have Essie’s Playing Koi, which is much more red-leaning and also has a squishier formula. I had to do three coats of it versus two coats of the others. essie's salon-quality nail supplies are all you need for a stylish manicure or pedicure treatment at home, from base coat to top coat, and colors in shades ranging from classics to so-hot-right-now. From Ginza to Harajuku, you'll love getting caught in a whirlwind of style, eclectic cuisine and spectacular colours fit for a Geisha'all captured in the essie Fall 2016 Collection. Playing Koi is the reddest out of the other shades, and it is probably still my favorite shade out of these four. Playing koi vs OPI My Italian is a little rusty vs Essie yes I canyonAnd here we have the requested ‘Mink Muffs’ to compare, along with ‘Easily Suede.’ After seeing the cooler tones in the first comparison, I thought a more grayed out brown would be a dupe, but ‘Easily Suede’ is even more gray. ‘Mink Muffs’ is a much darker, more chocolate brown, as you can see in the photo. How can there be so many variations of brown?!?

Definitely no dupes above. Compared next to ‘Zip Me Up’ and ‘Absolutely Shore,’‘Speed of Life’ looks much more yellow!

I did flood my pinky because the brush is just slightly too wide for my little pinky nail and I painted too far over. Despite this being a super rich, pigmented polish I did not notice any inclination to stain the skin during my cleanup. When you buy an OPI, this is the formula you want (and the formula you deserve for that price tag). I can only hope the rest of the Milan polishes are anything like this one! LOVE this polish so much!! I knew I had no dupes for this one. You can see above some much older polishes that are somewhat similar, but definitely not dupes. Not surprised here!! Final Thoughts?

It has been so long since I have written this post! Playing Koi is still one of my favorite shades ever. I recently used it in a comparison to China glaze’s new Spice to meet you, and that’s what made me revisit this post. If there are still looking at this post, I though it might be helpful to add in the comparisons that I did with Playing koi. So here they are!

This was a fun comparison to do! I feel like Essie has been coming out with so many of these pretty fall colored oranges lately! I thought that ‘Kaf-tan’ from the Summer Collection may be close, but it was much more brown in the bottle so I didn’t swatch it. ‘Tart Deco’ was also much brighter, so I chose not to swatch that one either.Also compared to Essie Yes I canyon, Essie’s playing koi is still my favorite (I’m sorry other shades!)
