After visiting Bicester Village a few weeks ago, i was eager to pop into the CCO, where i found the newest member of my nail varnish collection, MAC's 'Jade Dragon'. having never tried a MAC polish before i picked this one out because it stuck out much more than the others they had to offer. I got it home, and applied it with 2 coats to both hands. I have so many different types of varnishes in my collection, ranging from cheap to more expensive brands, but considering how well established a brand MAC are, and how much their make-up is loved by (pretty much) everyone, i have to say i was extremely disappointed. The packaging sleek and very well thought out (except that with the dark polish you can't really see the writing..but that's to be expected) but the polish itself was streaky, had a very thin and not very good brush and it took 2/3 coats until it looked even. Something i didn't expect to see from a high end brand. The last bad thing i found with it, is that it stained my nails quite badly.
After having another colour on for the past week, i wanted to give it another chance, and this is what i came up with. Contrasting with Models Own Grace Green, i think it looks really nice, and love the ring finger look. It applied slightly better today, but still not brilliantly. I don't think i'll be spending anymore money on MAC varnishes until they better the formulation.
Have you had any problems with MAC varnishes? or do you just love the colours too much to care?
(sorry for the extremely bad, out of focus pic!)
