I got myself a bottle of For Fun today. My first MAC nail polish! I’m so happy!

[...] the Nail Trend Collection by Jin Soon came out last Fall, the formula was said to be greatly improved. I didn’t believe it one bit. [...]

I got all 6 polishes, and I am loving them so far.I too am disappointed that the Dry Martini is not exactly the way your picture appears on my monitor, but I tried it on in the store to determine more what it was really like. I didn't buy based on the pic. Perhaps getting a color closer to your pic will become my holy grail!!

when I got to the store the day the polishes were released (actually I was there in the morning) 2 of them were already "sold out"! read the story on my blog.

ha, understandable! All-Lacquered-Up is actually my favorite nail polish blog (ok never leaving comments on other blogs w/ actual name), and because of All-Lacquered-Up I grew my nail polish collection from 2 to 62. no joke. Just wanted you to keep up the awesome work and not be discouraged in anyway! (tho sometimes that's inevitable, but one can only try right?)

Engly – Thank you, I really appreciate that. I didn't feel like anyone was bashing me, it's just that my worst fear is having a reader buy something based on my image and then be disappointed. I never want to cause anyone to waste money based on my swatches.

o no! We (at least me) don't mean to bash your swatches! I love your swatches and i often (ok almost always) buy polishes according to your swatches and I know it all depends on the lighting, monitor, camera you use, or even how you optimize your images to upload lol. I'm fully aware it's always going to be different, I just wish the actual thing is as beautiful as your swatch, that's all. Plus MAC return is a breeze, that's never a worry. But that being said, Dirty Martini does look like your swatch under direct sunlight, but in door it looks brown/gray. so wear it to a picnic for the fabulous olive green!:D

again i apologize if you feel like we're not happy with your swatches, it's really quite the opposite of how I really feel!

I apologize to those of you who feel like my swatch of Dry Martini is off. I do the best I can with my images but I'm not infallible. My images look correct on my monitor in the light I work in but I can't account for different monitor calibrations, lighting and even our own differences in vision. I'm sorry if you bought Dry Martini and are disappointed. Perhaps my sample bottle is slightly different than the one that went to market.

Unfortunately, ITA with Megan on Beyond Jealous.
I'm on my second day wearing it and it just looks black on me (inside, outside, sun & shade). I used two medium coats and Seche on top and I've got nothing but darkness; you can't see any teal or green.
I thought it was just me because I'm so pale and have black hair, but alas no. I guess it will just be my "black" for the season.

Not all is lost though, as I love Dance all night.

I just saw these in the store, and some of the colors look MUCH better online! Great in person: Cool Reserve, Rich Dark, Dance All Night, Beyond Jealous. For Fun is Barney-the-dinosaur purple. Dry Martini, which I desperately wanted to like, is — forgive me — the exact color of baby caca. Seriously. The salesgirl agreed and said she hadn't met anyone yet that it looked good on! Really ugly, even though the pictures make it look so good.
