I need that bottle of blue nail polish in my life
Save your pennies, I just woke up and have tipwear on all nails. One is chipped. :( The formula felt a bit different from Mac's normal polishes and dried so quick but I have major chipping problems regardless.

Good morning Honi! Is it really morning where you are? Bummer about the polish. I wish mac would totally revamp their nail polish line. It really needs it!

It is 08.32 in the morning and I am browsing specktra at work, so yes! :D The other people drink their coffee, i browse my specktra.
Yeah it could for sure need a major revamp, I think it would benefit them greatly.

It's almost midnight here. I always trip out on the fact that I can come on here and chat with people all over the world about our makeup love. I find it very cool. :D #sappymoment

 My Alluring Aquatic lipsticks arrived!!! :cheer: The packaging is AMAZING, I'm in love!! I got 'Mystical' & 'Goddess of the Sea'. Both are cremesheens but when on the lips they are not "thick" or "sticky" they applied perfectly and last really well. I couldn't be happier. Definitely going to back up Mystical when it's out in store. Here are my pictures & swatches, I am an NW13, hope this helps anyone who is considering buying them :heart:
Pretty :)!! I'm skipping gots. I don't need it.

I'd say yes. They are both very warm toned, thus they will definitely warm up your NC20 face, but use a light hand. BUT as your signature says that you have oily skin, I recommend that you absolutely try them in person (and then wait a few hours) as it might turn your skin into grease city.
Thank you so much! I am basically combo with a minimal oily t-zone but my cheeks are normal to dry sometimes :) I am kinda scared about them being too sparkly tbh, that's whats really stopping me from buying them :/

I don't think you can skip them. They will look beautiful on your complexion, though I would use them as a blush rather than a bronzer.
Really? Just when I thought I could cross them off lol. I was thinking the darker over the lighter, what do you think?

There are some exceptions with the polishes. Soiree is my absolute favorite. Has long wear and only needs two coats, even one coat sometimes. Blue polish is beautiful. If I didn't already have a color similar I'd be getting it.

Since you have Stolen Moment, I'd say skip Soul Serenade. While SM is taupe-y, it is dark and warm, and SS is a dark warm purple, so there's overlap. I'm confused about Plumful being "too violet", since i only know it as a lipstick. Also, do you mean too blue-violet? or too red-violet? If you think it's too blue, then you probably won't be happy with Fathoms Deep since it's in the blue range. But if you think it's too red, you might like Fathoms Deep. And I think you can skip Goddess of the Sea because MAC comes out with that sort of color pretty often. That's one reason why i'm skipping it, i have too many of that sort of color as it is.
Oh, I'm so sorry for confusing you! That's what happens when I post just before bedtime. With Plumful I meant the lipstick because some people said Plumful looks similar to GotS and I rarely reach for Plumful because it looks way too purple/violet (whatever the right word is) on me, so I think that GotS will look even more purple/violet/plummy on my lips. That's why I think I can skip ist. Thank you for your advice and opinion, though! I appreciate it. To the others - thank you very much! I appreciate your opinions. I'm leaning towarss Lorelei and either Modern Lure or Fathoms Deep right now.

Aphrodite's shell is really pretty . That's in my list for sure.... for now . Enchanted one looks way too brown for my taste, so that's an easy skip. Although, it is driving me totally bananas that the lipsticks swatches look so different in every pic. Sometimes too brown, sometimes just right. 'Oy. :sigh:
