MAC - Nail Trend F/W '09 (Jin Soon Choi for MAC Nail Lacquers) Discussion

[dreamer246]

I think I will be getting all of them.

Thank goodness polishes don't cost all that much, so it'll still be pretty affordable in the end!

Finally, a collection where I can afford to buy every single product.

I can test them at my counter with a tape on my nails.

That dirty dark mossy green cream is downright hot. So perfect for fall.

we got our shipment today. color payoff is nice, 2 coats and it gives complete opacity, no streakeyness, just a very solid cream finish.

we haven't gotten the lashes either, but we did get our shirts today too!

i agree, the illustrator's is hideous! they sent us 2 of each, the photogs was a size 2, the illustrator was a size 3, and the painters was a 4. WTF is up with that!?!?

i picked the photogs as well. the others would've been too big!

I'm getting really anxious for this collection for some reason.

These will be my first MAC Nail Lacquers

I hope they're great!

For Sure:
Beyond Jealous
Dirty/Dry/Whatever Martini
Cool Reserve

Maybe:
For Fun

The Instyle Makeover issue with Vanessa Ann Hudgens has her modeling Beyond Jealous on her nails in the article about her... its hard to tell the color really well but I know it looks really dark and black but I lovin these sorts of vampy colors recently so... I can't wait for this collection

If I wear n/p at the moment then it is Shirelle from MAC. Awesome red! Can't wait to wear darker colours in fall again.

 

[erine1881]

^^^oh I'm not waiting for fall! I just finished painting my toes with give me moor and I'm gonna do the dark green on my fingers tmrw! Screw the summer temps outside! My fall boots arrived this week so my minds already set for fall!

 

[xpucu]

Can someone tell me how big are the n/p from MAC?

 

[erine1881]

^^^theyre .34oz

 

[franimal]

There's a pic & swatch of cool reserve in the new issue of Real Simple magazine if anyone's interested.

 

[Cocktail_party]

I am insanely excited about this collection as well (and my nails are currently painted with MAC's Pre-dawn as I went to a wedding recently), but why the hell does the first link in blinkeymei's post say that they cost $15.50 cdn???

Nail lacquers are supposed to be $13.00 cdn now as they raised them a dollar from $12.00 after the last price hike. wtf?

ETA: okay, I just went to the colour story post and it says $14.50 there, but still. I was only expecting to pay $13 for each and given how I want, like, 5 of them....I want to cry now

edit again: I just saw the price hike thread in the mac chat forum...fml >_<

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm one of those nail fanatics but I've never loved MAC polishes. I like the look of Dry Martini and Beyond Jealous so if the texture is good I will get those. Otherwise I will stick to OPI, Orly and Color Club.

 

[wizzer3245]

dry martini dry martini dry martini i can't wait to get my grubby little hands on that one!

 

[LMD84]

i will take the purpley one please!
