MAC - Mean & Green

| | Comments: (8)

Formidable! This colour is simply formidable.
Like the previous billion of bloggers said before me, this polish is one of the beautiful combination of pigments/glitters I have seen, and obviously it applies to Orly's "Space Cadet" as well and the other dupes you can find out there :D

It's very complex not only under the colour point of view, but even regarding the finish.


It's foily, but not mirror-like, even with top coat. It's smooth under my finger, but it appears a little gritty too, and I like this effect.
This polish has many faces, because it's composed of a dark mossy-teal jelly base, which is shown here:


plus a ton of very fine glitter, which looks like tarnished gold:


or flashes purple-pink:


or a pewtwerish gold-olive green:


Dark, but luminous, is beautiful in the sunlight, but in shade too, and under artificial light.
Really a masterpiece.

However, I have to say it's a little mean too, because this one is three coats, but left some balder spots here and there; I don't know if it's me, but under certain angles, you can view them - oh well, normal people will NEVER tilt their head so much just to stare at my nails, so I'm not afraid about that, but you all know how much obsessed we are :D
Maybe four coats would offer the perfect coverage, but next time I'll try to layer it over a dark creme base - teal or blue. I guess it would be fantastic over a gold too, or bronze, or black, or...
This is 10 ml for € 12,50. Definitely worth them :>


EDIT about wear: really good, after 5 days I barely see tipwear and had two tiny tiny chips (not polish's fault, though).


Have a nice day/night/whatever and thanks for your attention ;¬)

Unbelievable!

For once in my nailbloglife, I'm on time with ultimate fashion trendZ, because last saturday I bought MAC's "Mean & Green" :^D
I'm not used to such expensive actions, so It's worth to celebrate it, but being in Italy AND not having a gold miner by home, I usually pick colours I want very late... But better late than never.

I have a wishlist, and I know that probably I will own, for example, Orly's "Halley's Comet" who knows when, surely when internet will be FULL of swatches and descriptions of it - wait, it's already like this :D
