dry martiny looks like poopie!!! lol...but color reserve is just gorgeous

cool reserve, for fun, and maybe beyond jealous... but def. the first two!

Yay! Glad ya liked 'em!

All of these nail polishes look like OPI dupes that I want. All are pretty but I'm on a budget.

Same here, I'm on a tight budget and don't feel like giving 13 euros for a MAC nail polish although I find Cool Reserve and Dance All Night to be very pretty. :(

Dance all Night- Crepes Suzi-ette Beyond Jealous= Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees For Fun= Pamplona Purple or A Grape Fit or Cool Reserve= Done Out in Deco or Do you lilac it? (maybe)Parlez-Vous OPI?

Dance All Night is waaaaaaay darker than Crepes Suzi-ette (which also is kinda orangey) and Parlez-Vous is way closer than the other two mentioned, cool reserve is a really 'sirty' purple if that makes sense

......barf much, mac? (guess which one im talking about. you're probably right) but i do love cool reserve

ooo, wow. I'm glad I saw this. I was going to buy all six and now I can feel alright with passing on all six. I was really feeling Beyond Jealous but it's way too dark. If anything, For Fun and Cool Reserve but that's not necessary. Love and Friendship had more purple, I think that's the one everyone is referring to from Rose Collection, and is really pretty. Well, I already got the stuff I wanted for the art collection. I think I'll get Crest the Wave and be done and wait on the black collection and that mascara coming out at the end of Sept. And D square caught my eye for feline and contouring.

They're OK, but not great, and you could probably find cheaper dupes by OPI or the like.

I got dry martini and it looks quite different than the one in the pic .I guess its the flash .

In darker lighting, it looks darker (more olive). It kind of just depends on the lighting, IMO.

Beyond Jealous is such a let down :(

I agree! I like For Fun and Cool Reserve but it doesn't look worth $12... at all. Does anyone know of any other dupes besides the MAC rose romance one & OPI's "you don't know jacques"(i tried to look for this one online, they were out of stock)

If you have a superdrug or a store that sells GOSH Cosmetics or BArry M they have a dupe unsure of the number or colour though....

I don't think Cool Reserve look at all like You Don't Know Jacques. The last one look really dark warm grey (at least on me) while based on picture, Cool Reserve doesn't seem that deep - more a lavender grey. It more reminds me of OPI Done Out in Deco or a light version of Parlez Vous OPI.

thanks! and *sigh* no i don't have one near by.. I live in the U.S. I wish I did though.

I don't know of any dupes, sorry Fari!

Dry Martini kinda looks like liquid poo... sorry MAC! That Cool Reserve color is beautiful and it is always nice to have a more wearable purple as an optionf or those of us who need more "office appropriate" colors, but still wnat something more than just red or pink, but the formula on these still look streaky to me and I am fining myself saying "so what?"... There are so many brands out there making beautiful polishes, you would think MAC would try just a little harder with these...

I found them to be pretty non-streaky, but I didn't love the colors myself. Maybe too muted? Not sure!

Cool Reserve and Beyond Jealous for me I think! :)

I'm so disappointed in Beyond Jealous. I thought it was going to be a dark blue green color but it looks almost black. I think I'll pass on all of these. :(

Yeah, it is REALLY dark :(

I WANT DRY MARTINI I HAVENT SEEN A COLOR LIKE THT.

cool reserved is stunning!

haha its funny everyone was going crazy about dry martini and now that its out no one likes it :b but i have to agree its really ugly I do love cool reserve though for sure picking that up!

Beyond Jealous is awesome! It almost looks black but is much more flattering! Also really like Rich, Dark and Delicious. Also completely agree Dry Martini looks horrible.

Beyond Jealous is nice! I feel weird, since I am not quite as in love with it as some other beauty buffs are!

Not gonna lie, Dry Martini looks HORRIBLE :| like diarrhea

LOL... "like diarreha"

LOL.... it looks like dry SH*T!

I love sh*tty color ! hahaha

dry martini looks like nasty human waste...its not nice at all...

hahahaha I so agree! I wanted to be the first person to comment on how much this resembles human waste, but you beat me to it!! hahaha

lol human waste on nails.....nasty look

These look *nothing* like their MAC descriptions. Cool Reserve was supposed to be a pale, grayed lavender and it looks like a grayish taupe to me. Beyond jealous was described as a blackened blue green, but all I see is black. Dry Martini looks sickening. Boo.

Actually I think they are all pretty, but too expensive (i'm not in the US) so these I need to skip ;(

They are a bit pricey for sure, even in US!

Am getting all of these!

I ordered all but For Fun and Rich Dark Delicious! I wish they'd do a polish collection every season.

Awesome! :) They so should!

LAME!! None of the colors I like except For Fun, but 12 bucks for nail polish is a bit much.
