MAC A Novel Romance Nail Lacquers
MAC Midnight Storm Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep magenta.” It’s a medium-dark, plummy berry with warm undertones and a subtle, metallic shimmer. The way the shimmer runs through this one gives it more depth but doesn’t make it look shimmery. It was nearly opaque in a single coat, but I applied two for good measure. The consistency was slightly thick. NARS Elbrus (P, $20.00) is darker, less shimmery. MAC Dayflower (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery. MAC Rebel (DC, $16.00) is less shimmery. Rescue Beauty Lounge Bruised (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Midnight Strata Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “dark violet.” It’s a slightly muted, medium-dark violet purple with cool undertones and a very, very subtle pearl. I could hardly see it, even under bright lights. It was opaque after two coats, and the consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan (LE, $10.00) is less shimmery. NARS New York Dolls (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned. Illamasqua Faux Pas (LE, $17.00) is less glossy, lighter. Zoya Mira (P, $9.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Sunset Sky Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “mid-tone crimson. It’s a deepened, dark red with warm, brown undertones and a barley-there pearl. It had full color coverage in two coats, and the consistency was balanced–not too thick or too thin–and applied evenly. Essie Shearling Darling (P, $8.00) is darker. NARS Chinatown (P, $20.00) is brighter. Dior Apparat (LE, $24.00) is more shimmery. Chanel Rouge Fatal (LE, $27.00) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Love the look of these! Midnight Storm immediately made me think of Illamasqua Charisma, but less noticeably shimmery– how would you say they compare?
Here you go! http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=101967&dupe=171386
I like the subtle effect the shimmer in Midnight Storm gives!
I like that it’s not over the top but kind of wish it was a wee bit more noticeable myself!
Midnight Storm and Strata are really tempting! I’m already imagining how cute they’ll look with a glittery accent nail lol.
Ooh! that’s a great idea!
Oh these look lovely. Trendy yet classy.
Glad ya liked ’em!
I like Strata!
Yay!
Love the NARS dupes
I can tell you’re a NARS fan! 😉
Midnight Storm for me, please! I love it. Midnight Strata is also a lovely polish, but Storm has more depth, I think and that’s something I like in nail polishes.
I agree!
These are pretty, but I don’t feel like they’re super unique. I mean, a brand doesn’t *have* to contrive to release ‘unique’ shades ALL THE TIME (would be very difficult and result in a lot of terrible products, I feel), and these match well with the collection, but I guess I was hoping for something cooler. You know, like the reaction when you see a Chanel Taboo or something.
It would be nice if at least one or two were more unique than not!
I really like the first two; I could never pull off the third because of the brown tone. I don’t have a violet polish but haven’t yet tried MAC. I just might have to pick up Midnight Strata!
Let me know if you end up trying it!
