MAC Studio Nail Lacquers — Instant Crush, Saint Germain, Snob
MAC Instant Crush Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright coral [with a Cream finish].” It’s a brightened, medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque color coverage after two coats were applied, but the first coat was slightly streaky. Thankfully, the second coat helped to even everything out, so the end result was smooth and even. MAC Please Me (LE, $16.00) is a touch darker. MAC Comic Cute (LE, $16.00) is slightly warmer. MAC Angel (LE, $16.00) is more muted. Rescue Beauty Lounge Pepto Pink (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Saint Germain Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “light cool pink [with a Cream finish].” It’s a cool-toned, light pink with blue undertones and a cream finish. It had full color coverage after two coats of polish. The consistency was slightly thick but not troublesome to work with. The initial coat was somewhat streaky, but a second coat evened and smoothed everything out for better end results. Cult Nails Falling Hard (LE, $12.00) is similar. Illamasqua Harem (P, $17.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Vagabondage (LE, $16.00) is similar. MAC Pinkly Fresh (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Essie Cascade Cool (LE, $8.00) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Snob Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “light neutral pink [with a Cream finish].” It’s a light-medium, muted pink with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish. It was mostly opaque after two coats, and the polish applied evenly and smoothly. The reformulation is warmer, more neutral, in color. Zoya Brigitte (P, $9.00) is darker, more muted, grayer. NARS Trouville (LE, $19.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I really like the first one!
Yay!
I like these but feel like I already have tons of similar colors, so I think i’ll pass.
Totally understand!
Love this mac shades. I only have the Saint germain one, because it’s one of my fav lipsticks, so when the color came ou i just ness to buy it to make the match!
Now i’m using a lot of snob and this weeks see the nailpolish match at the store, but i’m not 100% sure if i buy it or not…
With love,
The pink lemonade
I think the polish runs warmer, unfortunately!
it’s sad…
it’s my eyes or now the snob have a litle bit of coral colors?
When i see the nailpolish this week looks differente than this images, maybe i’ll see the old formula…
With love,
The pink lemonade
Snob polish leans warmer in the polish, IMO!
i loved Saint germain! All nail polishes look really good on you christine 🙂
Thank you!
I love how delicate Snob looks
It does!
So pretty! All three colors look so soft and delicate, lovely.
They are! 😀
I love colors like snob! In fact I got one in Sally Hansen recently called Nude Now.. which is a beautiful pinky nude! These are definitely colors ill check!
Sounds very pretty!
I have Saint Germain and love it! Instant Crush looks very pretty too!
Very summery!
All three are such pretty pinks! I have Illamasqua Harem so at least I know I can skip Saint Germain (your dupe lists are always so helpful)!
Harem is (slightly) better quality, so you’re covered!
I love all of them, Saint Germaine is so pretty!
It’s a fun shade!
Love st. germain. I have a dupe I’ll have to add to the swatch gallery maybelline colorshow in lust for lilac
Thank you!
Instant Crush is a very sweet color. So girly!
It’s a nice shade!
I love every single one of these! How pretty!
Yay!
I could never pull these off as well as you, but they’re so pretty!
Thank you!
Instant Crush is my pick for these – Saint Germain is a little too Barbie for my current tastes, and Snob is a little too washed out. But that could be just looking at the two next to Instant Crush, hehe!
LOL! True enough. Instant Crush is so much brighter than both!
I really like Snob. It’s quite hard to find a a delicate pink nudish polish that suits me. I do think this one would. I really can’t wait, though I must, for these to arrive at the local MAC counters.
I’m just so glad they dropped price on these finally!
Thanks for the review, i have the old snob lacquer & it was already a bit to warm (If you wanted to match it with the lipstick- which i did!) didn’t need to get any warmer imo, but oh well at least the new formula/brush are winners.
I was surprised when they originally released Snob as a polish, because it was SO not like the lipstick.
I’m curious as to how Instant Crush might compare to Butter London’s Trout Pout, or is it even close?
Trout Pout is wayyy more orange! 🙂 http://www.temptalia.com/butter-london-trout-pout-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatches
