Before we delve into these shades, I want to note that I've actually never tried any of these shades in their original non-Infinite Shine formulation so I would not be able to provide any comparisons. With that said, I will be reviewing the shades as they are and hopefully with the swatches to help, you can decide whether or not these Infinite Shine versions are worth checking out.
Funny Bunny:
A sheer white cream, Funny Bunny was not too fun to work with. The polish is not only sheer but also patchy so I had to go in for a fourth coat on some nails to get a half-decent finish. Even with three to four coats, though, the coverage is still not great (as you can see below).

A soft baby pink, Bubble Bath is very also sheer and patchy, although it is slightly better than Funny Bunny. I used three coats for the swatches below.

A beautiful nude almond cream with the teeniest hint of shimmers, Dulce de Leche is a dream to work with! Despite being a softer shade, I only needed two coats for the swatches below. The formulation is super buttery and pigmented as well!

A hot barbie pink cream that screams summer, Strawberry Margarita is surprisingly not that great. The formulation is pigmented but not very self-leveling so I had a bit of issue with getting a smooth coverage.

A bright coral-red, Cajun Shrimp is another disappointment. The formulation is not super pigmented and as a result, I actually needed three coats on some nails. You can kind of see the subtle unevenness on my ring finger, on which I used two coats instead of three.

This is a classic true red cream. The formulation is superb; the polish is pigmented, buttery, and unbelievably easy to work with.

| Big Apple Red, two coats with no top coat. |
A smoky plummy brown cream, You Don't Know Jacques! is disappointingly sheer. For a color this deep, I was expecting really good pigmentation but I had to go in with a third coat on some nails.

| You Don't Know Jacques!, two to three coats with no top coat. |
A deep wine red cream, Malaga Wine is very nice and pigmented. I used two coats for the swatches below.

A deep inky almost-black purple, Lincoln Park After Dark was just okay in my opinion. The shade was sheerer than I expected but it gave a nice coverage with two coats.

Although I've never tried the original, I'm Not Really A Waitress is famous enough that I know what it looks like and the Infinite Shine version seems quite a bit darker and duller. This is a dark red shimmer with a decent formulation. I used two coats for the swatches below.
