a new heroine it does look different brighter if that makes sense from the picture I have seen unless people are using lip liners to change the color a bit

I picked up my package from ups this morning. Not sure what the original Heroine looked like but this is what mine looked like in the tube
I also swatched it along side Shameless and Heaux since I noticed it asked on here. I know it's been done already but figured I throw my swatches out there too. Heaux isn't remotely close obviously so I'm not sure why anyone wanted the comparison. Shameless is close and an acceptable dupe but if you can get Heroine I'd say get it.

Yep. I was ready to call it Pink Whip. LOL. I mean it's lavender but you can tell it's different. I didn't get the original. I believe they did it with Runaway Red, the one from the Cook Shop collection differed a bit from the one from the original MAC Me Over collection. Also, the Candy Yum Yum that came out with By Request wasn't quite as 'neon' as the original from the Quite Cute collection. That's just two that come to mind immediately.

Thank you! It's Zoya nail polish. The color is Payton (I'm assuming it's the dark purple holographic one that's showing and not the accent nail lol which is a pixie dust pink color of theirs called Arabella). Got a huge haul of their polishes from their Black Friday sale.

Yessss thats the real deal right there girl it looks great on you!.This is a pic of me wearing the Heroine that was released with the fashion sets no lip liner. I was awaiting an order from Nordstrom for a new one but they canceled my order for some reason. I guess when I get around to reordering I can compare the colors to see if they are the same.

That's great. If I had known it was limited I wouldn't have waited. That's what I get for waiting. Katricia was another purple one that I waited too long to grab and ended up not getting.

I found it and keep finding it once I stopped looking for it. And every time I come across it there is always only one lonely Shameless sitting there lol. I have an extra one that I will probably put in my clearance bin for the price that I paid for it. I started buying them every time I saw them and letting my friends know so they could just come pay me back for them...that way they wouldn't have to risk it being gone before they could get to the store to snag it. Said I would start putting any others I find on here in the clearance bin since so many people were still having trouble finding them. I honestly thought that it might have gotten easier for everyone since I was starting to find them without looking for them now lol.
STILL hate that I don't have that one. Had to mix a poor man's dupe that isn't quite the same using Hoochie and Rx lol

That's so disappointing I'm in no hurry to get a new one for sure now. I'm glad I still have plenty of my original. I'm gonna just enjoy my purple fix from my PC lippies.
