MAC Nail Transformations: Transforming Nail Lacquer Swatches, Review

MAC Nail Transformations: MAC Transforming nail lacquers: (clockwise from top right) Texturize, Liquid Pigment- Pink Pearl, Liquid Pigment- Gold Pearl, Highlight, Liquid Pigment - green pearl

MAC has come up with nail transforming nail lacquers that change the look and finish of your nail lacquers.  These are for nail polish junkies like me who get bored easily with their nail looks.  Each transforming nail lacquer has a different kind of pearl, finish or liquid pigment to change the way a nail polish looks.

I will feature four of these nail transforming lacquers in this post.  I like the ones I am wearing because they don't exactly change the color of the base, but they morph the base into a shimmery but ethereal finish, mainly because of the shifts in the liquid pigment.

Here are the four nail lacquers that transform the finish into a glossy look with flashes of subtle color.

MAC Studio Nail Lacquers Product Information

M∙A∙C Studio Nail Lacquer combines luscious colour with four high-gloss finishes: cream, frost, pearl and glitter. Featuring a brand new formula. Studio Nail Lacquer is fortified with conditioning vitamins E, C and B5, applying smoothly with a newly designed brush featuring flattened, streamlined fibres for effortless application. Classic M∙A∙C Studio Nail Lacquer favourites like Rebel, Morange, and Mean and Green are a striking complement to the vivid coral of Only in Florida, the silver and pink glitter glitz of new Quick Million and the milky peach of Erogenous. New Matte Overlacquer lets you play with texture, taking your nails from glossy to matte in a single swipe. From trendy to timeless, and scorching to sweet, there’s a shade for every mood.

MAC All About Orange: Ke Ai, Fiestaware and Morange Nail Lacquers Swatches, Review

L-R: Morange, Fiestaware, Ke Ai

(Media Sample)

I was able to try out three nail polishes from the MAC All About Orange collection.  Actually, Morange and Fiestaware are part of the permanent collection, so technically, Ke Ai was the only new-to-me polish in this bunch.

Below are my swatches and my thoughts on these.

MAC Fashion Sets Nail Lacquer Swatches, Review: Ablaze, Heroine, Embrace Me, Silly

(Media sample)

Here is the last post of a series of entries on the MAC Fashion Sets collection. This time, it's all about the nail lacquers. Let me say that I did not like the application of some of the recent MAC nail lacquers that I've tried, but in the Fashion Sets collection, all of them were quite easy to apply and to even things out. They were not streaky and I like the vibrant color and very creamy finish.

Here are my MAC Fashion Sets nail lacquer swatches:

MAC Nail Lacquer in Ablaze

MAC Ablaze is my favorite from this bunch. It's a gorgeous, vibrant coral red cream. It applies smoothly on the nail and very bright and eye-catching.

MAC Heroine nail lacquer

MAC Heroine, just like its lipstick counterpart, is purple. It's a midtone purple cream that I like because I am such a sucker for purples. It also applies well on the nail and was not streaky.

MAC Embrace Me nail lacquer

MAC Embrace Me is a magenta cream. I have shades similar to this so this is not really that unique in my collection. It is a pretty shade though.

MAC Silly Nail Lacquer

I was surprised with MAC Silly nail lacquer. I thought it would be a dull pink, but it's actually very pretty. This is my favorite from the collection next to Ablaze. It's like a strawberry milk pink and it looks very clean and feminine on the nails.

All in all, I was pretty satisfied with the nail lacquers from the MAC Fashion Sets 2013 collection. The only downside is that the price is pretty steep for $16 each. I would recommend getting only the prettiest and more unique ones if you are watching your budget. I'd definitely recommend Ablaze and Silly for the nail lacquers.
