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.

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.

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!

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.
