Reader Request: Essie Sag Harbor and Finding a Dupe

Lynn from Two Clumsy Hearts asked if I could find a dupe for Essie Sag Harbor. There is L'Oreal High Tide but are there others? Well dammit I could find none in my stash that jumped out at me. Lynn stumped me and I called her some bad names. I'm sorry Lynn for cursing at you!

Here are the ones I pulled to play with to see if they were close.



From left to right: Essie Sag Harbor, L'Oreal High Tide, Orly Pixie Dust, Orly Gumdrop, Orly Mirror Mirror, Maybelline Matte Blue, Misa Radiant and OPI Breathe Life.

Here they are on a nail wheel.

Here is my attempts to find something close.





Left to right: Maybelline Matte Blue with OPI Breathe Life over it, Maybelline Matte Blue with Misa Radiant over it, Maybelline Matte Blue with Orly Pixie Dust over it, L'Oreal High Tide, Orly Mirror Mirror with OPI Breathe Life over it, Orly Gumdrop with OPI Breathe Life over it and Orly Pixie Dust with OPI Breathe Life over it.

Here they are all together for a complete view.



Though I found no dupes I think Maybelline Matte Blue with OPI Breathe Life is in the same family. Or I'm delusional. I didn't realize that Essie Sag Harbor was such a unique color. If you like/love Essie Sag Harbor I think you will like/love Maybelline Matte Blue and Orly Pixie Dust. I also suggest OPI Breathe Life to layer with to give colors a soft sparkle.

I'm so annoyed I couldn't find an easy to find dupe other than L'Oreal High Tide. Boo! Has anyone found one?

Got a request? Feel free to ask!

According to chocaddict, Eyeko Rain is a dupe since High Tide is a dupe of Rain. :)

I recently ordered Sag Harbor from aveyou.com and I hope I love it when I finally get it.

Whew! So there is a dupe but I just don't have it. That's good to know. Hm, I've been wanting to get some Eyeko maybe this is a good reason - for research purposes.

Damn you people! I placed an Eyeko order. I'm so weak. Those bottles are pretty cute though.
