MAC Love Lace Collection Review — Light Affair Nail Lacquer — Swatches, Photos

Light Affair Nail Lacquer

MAC Love Lace Collection: Light Affair Nail Lacquer

The final product I’m reviewing from MAC’s Love Lace Collection is a new, limited edition shade of nail lacquer. Light Affair is a creamy, pale gray with a touch of lilac/purple. It’s cool-toned, and it looks quite pale against my skin tone. I really just want to call it a lilac-y gray, but it doesn’t really have that much lilac in it. It’s an interesting shade–it’s a much, much paler and lighter version of Cool Reserve from fall.

I love this polish!! I have about 3/4 left. I hope they release it again something before I run out! (:

I can see you calling it a lilac-y shade..but i think of it as a grayish-taupe...i love love love this shade...i do not wear nail polish on my nails but i have finally found my exception...i am going to buy two more bottles!

I love this color. This is the only thing that I will get from this collection.

Never has a colour divided me like "light affair". I really don't know if I love it or hate it, and there isn't even a middle ground of "like" towards it.

Haha! I can see this being one of those shades.

Mmmm, nail lacquer is very unusual :) It is similar to OPI Let them eat rice cake!

The color is beautiful but I think is kind of pasty :)

This looks like a dupe for Essie Body Language, which is veeeeeeery similar!

Light affair, you will be mine! :)

I like this. It looks work appropriate and has a sophisticated feel to it.

I am in love with this polish! All of the MUAs were swooning over it, and there were only 2 left in the store by tonight. So glad I picked mine up!

this one is gorgeous. i want want want it!

I hate MAC nail polishes and vowed to never buy another one again, but this is tempting!

LOL! I've been lucky -- never had any issues with MAC polishes! This felt like a good creme to me, too - it went on fairly smooth, even on the first layer. Just two coats and smooth, opaque color.

This shade of gray is OK, it is almost too white for me. I prefer for my grays to be a bit more grayer. I love grays that are pure gray or have a bit of purple or brown tones in it.

Nice. I can't wait to buy this nail polish.

i love it... i want it ... now!!! :D

Love it! This is the only item I was looking forward to in the Love Lace Collection!!! Its really light tan... like over creamed coffee :P haha
