mac polishes tend to be really easy to work with or bad. so it really does differ everytime!

I agree what Lou said. Usually I hate Mac polishes, but Blue India from GMLOL was a nice surprise being quite easy to work with. Still doesn't compete with my Chanel polishes but good enough for me to tolerate!

Mac is releasing so nice colours, like these and the ones coming out with VV - they sound gorgeous!

I like my two MAC polishes but I have a hard time buying expensive black polishes--they all just look the same to me.

Yep!! Blue India was good. Made me broke my No MAC nailpolishes rule.

New shades in many collections sound so promising, I only hope they're as good!!

Sincerely, I was not satisfied at all with my first Chanel polish, Vendetta. It starts chipping 2 hours after application. I don't know with what courage I dared to buy also Nouvelle Vague (still on my nails after an ENTIRE WEEK, wooooow, incredible!!!)! (now I am looking forward Illusion d'Or!

)
However, I discovered that a lot of hard-to-work-with polishes change completely by simply adding some diluent. What about MAC polishes? Are they good with a generous amount of diluent?

 

[Hypathya]

^^ Mmm, never tried that before because nail polish diluent eventually makes nailpolishes to dry quickly at the bottle... They end lasting less.

i can't resist either!

 

[Hypathya]

Yay for teal lovers!!

 

[LMD84]

sadly though somebody said in the discontinued items thread that teal might be dc'd! wth?!?

that would not be good at all!

hmmm, I was not speaking about adding acetone, that actually dissolves the chemical structure of polish, but specific diluent created with the aim of making the polish more fluid. It doesn't make polish dry quickly at all

have a try!

I just warned my husband I am making a big MAC order the first week of July. I have been good for the last month or so, he's fine with it and said not to skimp on backups if I need them.

Why didn't you want it? I Love Teal pigment! I have a sample and a vial, but keep wanting the full size one. I don't wear it that often but i just LOVE the color. I think it's the perfect teal color!
