I recently purchased my second MAC nailpolish. I have to say that I REALLY like it. It's a thin formula so it doesn't gum up like I found Essie to. It dries fairly quick and doesn't chip easily.

I first got the colour golded in september for a wedding and I LOVE it. It's a sheer gold colour that makes nasty nails look nice (believe me, I had acrylics put on for a wedding and this stuff looked good once I took them off)

Last week I got a new colour, Delicate Balance. It's a pretty metalic pink with golden undertones. It's a bit more flashy but very pretty too (I did tone it down with a coat of golded over it for lunch with my bf's grandma).

So for $11 you get a good polish. I like it much better than OPI, Creative and Essie. The colours are also way better!

I like MAC's nail polish a lot too Smile

Very nice consistancy and dries pretty.
I also like OPI but I never bought one myself, usually manicurist put OPI on me.

I've bought OPI and they're always great for a bit, and then they gum up on me.

MAC is easier to put on for me...

Hi Lianne - I'm glad I logged on - I was looking at MAC nail polish yesterday -- the colours were just amazing -- I decided not to buy because I was worried that it might be crap -- but I'm going definitely going to pick some up now!

How is MAC's lasting power? I'll have to check out the MAC nail colors next time I'm at the counter. I like OPI, Essie and Zoya, but the one brand that has staying power for me is Orly. When I need a manicure to last a week, I use Orly. With any other brand, I have to touch up or re-do after two or three days. I'm hard on my nails, and I hate the look of my hands, so I polish frequently.

Debra,
I've never tried orly, but I can say this stuff lasts longer than the other brands I've tried. I do 2-3 coats. It's been about 5-6 days now and I have a few chips on the tips of my nails that you don't notice unless you look up close (and i'm wearing the bright pink colour)

Thanks for the feedback, lianne. Can't wait to check out the colors!

I have to say that I experienced the exact opposite with my one and only foray into MAC polish. I bought the shade called "Up Mode," which was a gorgeous gorgeous frosty pinky-peach, but the stuff was so thick that I couldn't apply at evenly to my nails. I ended up having to add like 25 drops of my OPI thinner to it before the consistency was thin enough to give me half a chance to apply it! For me, Essie polishes seem to have the thinnest formula (which I prefer), then Lippmann Collection, then OPI. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but my experience with it made me afraid to try any additional MAC shades.... Sad

Carrie,

We don't seem to be agreeing on anything lately!! My formula wasn't thick at all.

did you try to return it?
