Nail Swatches: MAC Venomous Villians Nail Lacquer

I could not resist this collection, two reasons. Duo/triple chromes are my favourite of all polishes, amazing to look at! (Oh shiny!) And it’s so glittery without being chunky! Which means I don’t need to spend heaps of time scrubbing away at my nails :/

The consistency and formula for all polishes I find to be very similar, you will need to apply at least 3 coats to build up the opacity for this polish, which I found a bit misleading when I looked at the bottle (seemed pigmented from the outside). Another thing I found annoying were the brushes, for each bottle the brushes were not smooth / straight. Some were a little bent, which I found made application slightly more challenging.

Swatch time~

Bad Fairy

One of my favourites of the collection, it’s essentially a red colour with hot pink / red / gold shimmer. Under the sun it’s a red polish that reflects gold, beautiful! If you lean towards the conservative side of nail colours *cough*Sefie*cough* then this might be a good colour to give yourself a bit of a kick into the more colour spectrum. This is 3 coats, no top coat.

Mean & Green

This is a hard colour for me to pin down, it reminds me of beetle shells, I can’t really tell what the base colour is. Almost like a green, with gold and purple shimmer, depending on the light it can look purple or green. A very cool tri-chrome (is that even a word?) colour. This is 3 coats, no top coat.

Also apologises for the terrible swatch photo of this 🙁 My white balance was completely off.

Formidable

My other favourite from the collection! It’s a duo chrome blue and purple shimmer, most likely with a dark purple base. I’m so great at describing colours aren’t I? It’s gorgeous in the sun, purple that reflects blue, beautiful colour. This is 3 coats, no top coat.

I’d wear Bad Fairy to work, and Formidable at night / on the weekend. My two favourite colours! I’d say Bad Fairy is more wearable, but I’m a cosplayer, so it’s pretty much in my DNA to want outrageous colours, so Formidable is my favourite!
