Marc Jacobs Beauty recently released two new limited-edition Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquers in Wine Not and Milk ($18 each for 13 ml/0.43 oz). Today I have swatches to share of Wine Not which unfortunately looks like it’s sold out online right now. I am hoping it will be restocked soon because it’s drop dead gorgeous. (For reference, Milk is swatched here.)
Wine Not is a rich metallic berry that gives full opaque coverage with two coats. It has a mix of plum and red in it so depending on the angle the light hits it, this shade might look warm or cool. In natural light it’s a smooth metallic plum. In sunlight it glows.
With two coats you get full opaque coverage. The first coat is a bit sheer and looks dark but add a second coat and it transforms into a lovely berry with minimal visible brush strokes. I was really pleased with how smooth it went on the nail. For some reason this particular polish did seem to soak up the first layer of top coat I used (I used Chanel Laque Brilliance Extreme), I recommend you add two layers of top coat to make it shiny.
Swatch comparisons below show that Wine Not has a more metallic finish with a good mix of red and plum making it the perfect wine. You can definitely find similar colors but as shown below many others lack that red glow Wine Not has when you see it in sunlight.

In full sunlight it flashes more red/wine:
Marc Jacobs Beauty is gorgeous. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will come back in stock online or eventually show up at Sephora. I’ve reached out to see if this will be restocked soon – I’ll update this post as soon as I have more information. In the meantime I hope the comparison swatches help in case you want something similar and have any of the other shades, you can shop your stash for now. Marc Jacobs Wine Not is currently exclusive online at Marc Jacobs Beauty. now available at Sephora.com.
What’s your favorite metallic plum/wine nail polish?
Hi Sabrina, great swatches as always. I'm wondering how this shade compares to Chanel – Gondola, do you have Gondola to compare?
I do have Gondola, I didn't swatch it because it was more violet and wasn't quite as shimmery/metallic to seem worthy of a comparison. I'll double check later this evening to compare the two.
I like it! I think I need it!
LOve this colour! Its beautiful & I love how the light catches is & makes it look glittery

Thank you Ingrid! MJ Petra is such a gorgeous shade. If you like that one, definitely check out Cora if you can 🙂 It has a similar complexity but with a warmer base.
Beautiful color! This is so perfect for fall/winter
Follow me to Fancieland!
Love this polish. Perfect to wear with a Little Black dress or for the fall/winter
I MUST have this. This is my favorite type of shade. I am going to stalk the MJ website!
The Marc Jacobs boutique is getting them in soon, they are putting one aside for me…can't wait for the call.
Such a beautiful color!
OMG these are so beautiful!!

Gorgous color!!
This colour is lovely. I don't think it would necessarily suit me but it looks good on you girl. Packaging is hot too! xx

Is it just me or does it seem like you can get this on the MJ main site, beauty section, but it's out of stock on the MJB site?
Curious, what's the brush like? I'm so spoiled to Dior polishes due to their brush shape!
Wow-this is gorgeous! I have Petra on my wishlist but I've never tried a MJ polish before. I might consider this if it comes back in stock. I just picked up my first Dior polish based off of your earlier post. They really apply beautifully and I agree with the reader above me, love the brush!
This looks a lot like Estee Lauder Smashed from the Metal Mania collection (although maybe that is less red and more purple.) At any rate, Smashed is a great shade–wears really well, too.
Awesome comparisons! When I first saw this I thought of Chanel Taboo but it seems lighter and different enough I wouldn't feel like I'm purchasing the same color 🙂
