I do! From the Fall Collection I have: Limited Addiction, Sew Psyched and Merino Cool; from the Winter Collection I have Smokin' Hot and Hot Coco.

How similar is Hot Coco to other taupe shades?

Ingrid by China Glaze or the last taupes by MAC?

To my 50 year old eyes, it looks like Hot Coco is very close in color to Ingrid except as a previous poster pointed out, Ingrid has the little gold flecks. To me, Hot Coco is a true chocolate brown. Metro Chic and Commander in Chic have a slight lavender undertone and You Don't Know Jacques looks like it might be a tiny bit darker than Hot Coco (or maybe it's just that the consistency of Hot Coco is thinner). I'm sorry I don't have the MAC polish. I hope this answered your question.

I love Essie's Fall 2010 collection. The Winter 2010 collection is full of dupes so I passed on that.

I like them. I have Sew Psyched, In Stitches and Merino Cool from the fall collection and Smokin' Hot and Going Incognito from the winter collection.

Susanne, Going Incognito is like a creamy version of CG Emerald Fitzgerald, minus the shimmer and maybe a smidgen lighter. I think it will work fabulously with a glittery red for some Christmas nail fun.
 
I picked up Essie Fall Mini 4-Pack which included smaller bottles of Merino Cool, Limited Addiction, Little Brown Dress, and Sew Psyched. I liked the smaller bottles since I very rarely finish entire bottles of nail polish. I like all of them but sometimes Little Brown Dress looks more black than brown on me.
