I really want to love Mink Muffs, but at the end of the day, it’s just not the right color for me. Mink Muffs is a milk chocolate brown that I wish was a shade darker. Its biggest problem is that it applies thinly. I applied three coats and still had some streaking. It’s a chic fall color that’s respectable and professional, but not a color I’ll likely buy again.

Nice coverage, applies easily, however it is too dark and bland for cool, pale skin tones. Two coats are needed for full coverage.

I so wanted to love this. The shade is so pretty, a cocoa-brown with very slight shimmer/wee-tiny glitter in the bottle. The shimmer really does not show up on my nails, even with 3 coats. But this formula just is super streaky for me, it is very difficult to apply, probably the most difficult polish I have tried in years (and I have at least 200+ polishes). No matter what 'tricks' I use, it ends up looking streaky and/or I see brush strokes, I just cannot get a smooth, even application with this. At least it does not bubble. But I feel like a polish at this price point should apply better. I bought this at Target, and I've gotten several Essie polishes from Target and Kohls, so I know they are not knock-offs or old or anything (sometimes even LE releases, fresh off the truck); and more often than not I am disappointed in Essie polishes. It is a shame, because they have so many pretty shades. But I think I will resort to other brands. Lastly, this chipped lightly on the edges the very first day and by day 3, bad chipping.

I love this color (and brown nail polishes) but DANG is it streaky! I've read tons of reviews on Essie and how everyone loves this brand, but they are always streaky for me (colored versions). No matter how light/careful I apply. Always 2-3 coats. However, my fav. Essie is Allure, but it's a sheer nude, so you don't see streaks. I've used others that are much better in 1 coat (Revlon etc..)

This is my first Essie polish and I'm having a hard time understanding the fuss. This was really watery and streaky. The color is a beautiful, chocolate brown, but the coverage was poor. I expected a lot more.
