Hey everyone! Today I have swatches of two of the colours from the recent MAC Quite Cute collection. Unfortunately I don't have Little Girl Type as MAC Pro was already sold out of that one when I placed my order.
Apologies for the nubbins! My nails were looking amazing after my mani with Mandi from Illamasqua last week and then unfortunately, the next day I had a MEGA break on my ring finger. I can't handle having different length nails, so I filed them all down!
Ice Cream Cake - Creamy blue pink. I love this colour! It was a little streaky so I did three coats to even it out, but who cares - it's freakin hot! Surprisingly enough, even though it is a pink cream (which are a dime a dozen in the nail polish world!!) I don't have a lot of dupes in my collection. The only one I could find that comes close is Zoya Sweet, however Sweet a little lighter and more dusty. Ice Cream Cake is therefore a must have!
Mischievous Mint - Creamy pale blue mint. This colour gave me the most wicked case of lobster hands I have had in a while! It doesn't really suit my skin tone, but I still find myself attracted to the colour! Mischievous Mint isn't the most original colour, but the formula on this was pretty good compared to other mint creams I have tried. I only needed to use two coats for these pics! I have one complaint about this polish - the brush was craptastic! The bristles were sticking out everywhere! It looked like someone had gone at it with a pair of scissors! However, the great formula made up for the brush woes!
That's all for today. Still recovering from a killer two day migraine so I'm off to get some sleep in the hope I feel up to going to work tomorrow.
so many people dealing with breaks! Including my self lol. I love your nubs though!
ReplyDeleteOMG. Both these colours are so bubblegum-amazing!! Shame about the bristles on the brush - MAC's nail polish brushes aren't the best are they!?!?
ReplyDeletehi carina: hope the migraine disappears completely soon (i get them too in clusters from time to time--yuck!). really love the mischievous mint! i am so tempted to try a pastel blue or green, but i'm just afraid of what it would look like with my skintone! i know that in fabrics very rarely can i wear pastels because they tend to make me look grayish...sigh! blessings
ReplyDeleteThese shades are gorgeous on you! Especially the Ice Cream Cake! That's one of my favs too. MAC is doing good things with NP lately!
ReplyDeleteFeel better! And I love that you said 'craptastic,' I thought I was the only one! Whenever i say it, people give me strange looks haha :) And I love your nubs :D
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize for your lack of length--I think your shorties look great!
ReplyDeleteQue cores lindas. Amei esse rosinha!
ReplyDeleteIce Cream Cake looks sttttunnnning! I want *sigh* And your nails are still beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLuv ice cream cake! And as a matter of fact my thumb and index nails broke today and I like them all the same length so i'm like u, so are nubbins are keeping each other company, lol! I am MAC virgin, so later on I will go to the MAC counter and take a look at those beauties ;-)
ReplyDeletethose are actually really cute shades. i wish mac's nail varnishes weren't so expensive.
ReplyDeleteI really really like ice cream cake! I'm a sucker for pink nail polishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The more I look at them the more I kind of like them!

ReplyDeleteHey Janel! I'm feeling a lot better today thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI have that problem with pastel blues and greens as well. They either give me lobster hands or was me out big time... :(
