Thank you so much for the swatches, nattyngeorge! It's very helpful. I love how Nicki looks on you!
Hope it will look decent on me. I might go check it soon!

Thanks a lot for these swatches and the color looks great on you! Mine arrived at the p.o. today. Can't wait to go get it. I see you have a few Wet N Wild swatches. Out of the WnW lippies, I think VG Nicki is closest in color to WnW's new Pinkerbell. Not an exact dupe but very similar in shade. I hope this great blogger doesn't mind me posting her pic. http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2012/02/mac-ricky-nicki-viva-glam-swatches-comparison-review/


blowyourmind's post in this thread below also has a nice comparison swatch of these 2 shades towards the bottom of the thread.

I got Nicki in the mail today. I played with her and I'm glad to say, I like it. It can be very in-your-face or you can tone it down. Mac Satin's aren't my favorite, but this isn't too bad at all. To soften the edges, I used Embrace Me lipliner and it was perfect. I had a tiny bit of lip balm underneath and that muted the color, but then I started to build it up. I'm really pleasantly surprised. Don't see any coral in this on me, though. It's straight up pink. I look forward to playing around with other liners and glosses with this. So glad I don't have another crap lipstick taking up space in my house.

Isn't it!! I lined my lips with Embrace Me, applied Niki, blotted once and it's the perfect pink. I think my skin loves the yellow undertone

Just tried it with Embrace Me and it came out gorgeous!

When mine arrives, I want to try lining with temperature rising to bring out the orange tones

 

[mac_aiken]

That sounds gorgeous! Please post pics.

Got my Nicki! It's sooo pretty. I can't wait to try it on. Probably won't be until tomorrow though.

I am too handicapped to figure out how to upload pix from my cell to specktra...I know, I am a f***tard

Ugh! Horrible lighting cell phone pic! I LOVED my VGN!! Wanted to share, but this isn't translating at all. I took one with my good camera, and I will post that pic tomorrow.

I simply cannot wait for this to be release in the uk, I have seen so many pretty pictures of VGN that I have to have it in my life

Anyone NC45/50 that has this and can provide a swatch?

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

i saw this in person last night and i swear i looked at it and ran...so sad.

I don't even know why Nicki is promoting this shade, doesn't even look good on her.

what lip pencil are you ladies using with VGN? I can't decide which 1 to get to compliment the color. I don't own many lip pencils

Embrace Me is awesome with it! That's the only liner I've tried so far lol
