A bit but not by much.
Love and Friendship has a slightly more… pink/lilac undertone, whereares Cool Reserve looks dusty and lavender/grey-ish.

They are gorgeous but 15$…. ishhhh I think I’ll just buy one from the Style black collection because I’m not rich enought for that XD

I’ve had plenty of Mac nail polishes in the past and have been completely unhappy. They chip and wear so easily once on your nails! Not worth it!

I love the look of Cool Reserve — but I haven’t heard good things about MAC nail polish. I think OPI is probably better quality and isn’t quite as expensive. I really want to splurge and try some Chanel polishes! 🙂

I’ve had “Beyond Jealous” on my nails for 3 days now. It hasn’t chipped, but there is the smallest amount of wear at the tips. However, I have been at work (which is hard on my nails and nail polish) 2 of those 3 days. So, I find this particular polish to be a fantastic addition to nail polish enthusiasts collections!
