MAC Uninvited Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Uninvited Nail Lacquer
MAC Uninvited Nail Lacquer ($17.50 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a “neutral nude shade with slight pearl.” It’s a light, peachy-beige with warm undertones and soft gold pearl. MAC Thimbleweed (LE, $16.00) is darker, more opaque. Cult Nails Evolution (LE, $12.00) is less shimmery. Zoya Taylor (P, $9.00) is opaque. Zoya Chantal (P, $9.00) is opaque, yellower. Dior Blossom (132) (LE, $24.00) is warmer. MAC Sandpiper (LE, $16.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Hangin’ Loose (LE, $16.00) is slightly darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
I wish MAC included “sheer” in their description for this particular shade, as it is semi-opaque after two coats with noticeable translucency throughout the nail as well as visible nail line. It seems like it’s possible that this was intentional, but with some of their other sheer polishes, they have called it out in the description (and here, they didn’t). The application was challenging, as it was streaky and didn’t apply evenly. The consistency didn’t seem too thick or too thin, but it was still problematic to apply. This shade is from MAC x Maleficent but is still available. I typically get seven days of wear out of MAC’s formula, but very little chips on me, so be sure to take that with several grains of salt!

The Maleficent collection has left a lot to be desired. Seeing this particular shade, i think they should have called it the Angeline Jolie collection instead. The title of Maleficent keeps reminding me of something dark and bewitching, which isn’t the case at all.
And hey, could you possibly do a reswatching of Mac’s purple eyeshadows for whenever the next swatch saturday is? Or any other swatch saturday that isn’t too far from now. Thanks!
Hi Ammara,
I think purples may be next actually, but I can’t promise when they’ll be posted. I’m always happy to consider requests and keep them in mind, just understand that the timing has to be has to be flexible. 🙂
I understand. Thank you for always replying to comments and answering any queries. 🙂
Thanks for your patience 🙂 I try to be upfront so no one is wondering where it is, LOL!
*shrug*.. this collection was a huge disappointment and completely uninspired..in my opinion. The packaging=awful too.
Agreed 🙁
Meh. I could get that with cheap clear nail polish.
I’m sure there are cheaper options and ones that perform better!
The color is really pretty but dupable. This just doesn’t seem like it’s worth the money. Honestly, the entire collection is a waste lol
I feel like MAC does this shade every other month, lol!
Sadly, I think this shade has earned a ‘feh’ from me. Now, I acknowledge full bias when it comes to not really liking ‘nude’ polishes, but this collection… 🙁 ‘Maleficent’ makes you think of something so witchy and cool – almost what MAC itself used to make one think of back in the day (I’m talking closer to the late ’90s, LOL). You expect more things in the line of purple, maybe acid green, as well as black, white and red. I guess we’ll never know how much influence Disney itself had over the collection, but it’s equally possible that someone at MAC thought that this collection’s colour scheme was perfect (?!)
They had a red as well, but it was a repromote from the permanent range if I’m remembering correctly (it’s starting to get lost in my memory now, lol).
Bleh.
Wish it performed better!
i’m really getting into sheer nude-ish nail polishes, so i think this is kinda pretty but not for that price!
MAC polish is SO high compared to the rest of their range!
This collection really did nothing for me and this polish is no different. Luckily some of the other upcoming collections look better.
With MAC, there’s always the next one!
Wow I just threw up. Uniqueness overwhelms me.
It is a very basic shade, which certainly is something there’s room to have – you never know when someone is looking for a neutral! The quality, though, isn’t there!
Hey I like it! I usually can’t polish my nails bc of work, but I just got this as a gift (maybe why I love it!) but it’s not that bad…. I didn’t buy anything from the collection myself tho
Enjoy! 🙂
