Marc Jacobs released five new shades of nail polish designed for the runway shows in Klute, 9 to 5, Tootsie, Charlie and Julia ($18 each, exclusive to Marcjacobsbeauty.com). Based on the previews and promotional images I expected pinkish nudes, they turned out to be a bit warmer and with more of a beige base in real life, but these still proved to be chic neutrals. All the colors are creams without shimmer. They are on the opaque side with full coverage after two coats. Some nudes can be a bit finicky to apply and often streak on the first coat, I found application with these shades to be a bit mixed.
Klute is a warm beige with yellow tones, 9 to 5 is a neutral cream beige with a hint of pink, Tootsie is a mauveish cool-toned nude, Charlie is a warm/neutral latte color, Julia is a dusty purple-brown. My top three favorites are 9to5, Tootsie and Julia.

I thought there might be similarities between some of the current Marc Jacobs Nail Polishes from Sephora to the new ones, I took my nail wheel into the store and swatched a few of the colors to see if they were similar. Nail comparisons to other beiges, nudes, browns and greys include:
Marc Jacobs Daisy (review here)
Dior Palais Royal (gel)
Chanel Khaki Rose (discontinued)
Dior Trench (limited-edition, swatched here)
Dior Incognito (gel)
Dior Grege (limited-edition, swatched here)
Dior Nude Chic (discontinued)
Chanel Frenzy (review here)
Dior Gris Trianon (discontinued)
Dior Yacht (still available, swatches here)
YSL Beige Gallery (review here)

Overall pleased with the wear and lasting power after two coats. I had application issues with 9 to 5 and Tootsie but not anything out of the ordinary with some nudes. It just took me a few re-do’s to get an even application. It took me a few tries to figure out the right amount of polish to load onto the brush to get smooth coverage. Even though they were a bit harder to apply, I really liked the final result and those two are in my top color picks for nudes.
I’m personally not a fan of Klute or Charlie – I found they had a bit too much yellow which makes my already olive skin look a bit sallow.
Julia is almost identical to Delphine (which I don’t own). If you already own Delphine you can skip Julia.
For more Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer reviews you can see features on this blog on Petra, Le Charm, Gatsby and Daisy. I’ve overall been really happy with the formula and color options. This was my first time trying non-shimmers from the line.

9 to 5 and Tootsie are very pretty! I agree most opaque nudes and pastels have application issues, which I believe more of a nature of the sorts, not the quality.
Julia looks like an oddball of the bunch, but still is very chic. 🙂
I really love these coloures, my fav is 9 to 5 🙂
Julia looks like the perfect nude for all year, love this colors. I've never thought about putting my collection on wheels so I normally end up finding bottles I didn't even remember buying haha so yeah I tend to get extremely similar colors which I hate! X

Oh these are beautiful. It looks like a good range of colours to suit a wide variety of skintones. I think we have similar skintones and now I really want 9 to 5!
Also, that whole nail wheel pleases me greatly.
Beautiful neutrals! I still need to try my first Marc Jacobs item, it's so hard to get here! I really love the shade selection of this brand. Can't decide which one I love most!
9 to 5 and Tootsie seem to be calling my name, I'll probably answer back.

Nothing boring about these beauties! I had forgotten that I wanted to check out Fluorescent Beige as well. And Petra! Thanks for the lovely review!
I love the look of both 9to5 and Tootsie on you. Those would be my picks too.
Ah I'm not keeping up with your posts! Thanks so much for these terrific swatches….I wanted 9-5 but it looks less pink than I hoped. Out of all of them, I think Tootsie is the winner. Julia is also beautiful but I will check out Dauphine in store before pulling the trigger. This whole collection reminds me a lot of the Zoya Naturel Collection.
The pics are very true to their colors, and helped me purchase the correct shades online
