Thanks for the feedback. I'm just looking for a foundation that's similar to Studio Tech, but at a lower price, and after reading some of the good reviews on Nixie, I thought it was worth a shot. It's suppose to be arriving today, but if the formula or shade is off, it will definitely be going back, lol.

The Nixie foundation did come today and I tried it on, along with the other samples I asked for (I told the lady on the phone what Mac shade I was and she offered to send samples, so I requested the tantone 6 and 8, but they also included olive 3). The weird thing is that one of the samples I made a guess on(tantone 6) was actually a match while the full size one (tantone 7) was too light. I didn't even bother with the olive one and tantone 8 was a little too dark. I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow to see how long it last or if it will change color.

I'm sooo glad to see this post
I thought I was crazy today 177 which every one says is for nw45 looked like crap on me, I'm a 178 or 180 MUFE HD (need to play around with the samples and see which works best)

I understand! I went to Sephora thinking I was one color. Even from the online guide, I did not think I was a 180. The 178 was way too reddish/orangish. I didn't blend correctly. The 180 is just about perfect. I am NW 45/47 (NW 46 would be perfect since I have to blend 45 and 47 together).

The mua at sephora gave me enough of each color for 2-3 applications each, today I wore 178 and it's nice, tomorrow will be 180.

I was wearing the wrong shade for the longest time. Since 2004 I had been wearing NW43, and I always thought it looked wrong, but the next shade [NW45] looked too dark, so I was just like "f**k it". Then a few months ago I got tired of never feeling okay with the shade I was wearing, so I ordered NW45. It's been lovely since then LOL

I recently had the same issue.

First I used NW43, then an MUA told me I was an NC45. I wore that for many years (looked ashy in pictures ). Recently a MUA told me that I am more of an NW43 (again!) and then a few weeks later when I went to a MAC counter they told me that I am an NW45. We will see how this works out.
