MAC Bad Fairy Nail Polish

I never got a chance to review this while it was still relevant. It sold out before it was even released! I ordered online and by the time the collection was fully added to the website, it was long gone. I hate that about MAC. There's such a rush for the limited edition items that they're usually sold out before we can order them :(

Nevertheless, it's still gorgeous so it's worth posting:

MAC Bad Fairy nail lacquer (Venomous Villains collection)

It has a sparkly glass-fleck finish (think Orly Cosmic FX) and it reflects coral, gold, burgundy magenta and a little bit of green. It's not a match anything I have in my collection; it's a little similar in theme to OPI The Show Must Go On but definitely not a duplicate.

    wearing this right now with Barry M's Instant Nail Effects.

    I had to travel far, far away to get Bad Fairy, but it's so worth it

    It's such a gorgeous color, but I don't really need it...I think. I loved TSMGO so much...maybe I do need it.

    Yeah, I missed this but I recently got Zoya Gloria which has the pink color without the duochrome.

    This is pretty. Too pricey for me though. :(

    I broke my no backup rule for this one. I'm not even a pink kinda gal normally, but there's just something about this polish.

    Supposedly Claire's has a near dupe for this now. IIRC, it isn't *exact*, but really darn close and may make those that were unable to get BF very happy.

    Thanks for the the lovely photos =D

    Lovely! I feel very lucky to have gotten this polish. I was only because of MUA's nail board, since MAC decided to release the collection early. There is already so much gone from my bottle though, from only one mani! I'm usually not a pink person but this polish is so unique. Claire's has a near-dupe called Poison Apple, I did a side by side comparison and they're extremely close but not exact. The base color is the same but there's not as much douchrome or glass-fleck finish. It's similar enough that I can use it as a base under Bad Fairy to help preserve it, though :)

    The Claire's dupe is pretty close to this, honestly -- it takes more coats but it comes very, very close if you missed Bad Fairy or just want something to layer it over in order to use up the good stuff less!

    There is another one I wanted from the Venomous Villains collection, can't think of the name right now. Maybe Mean Green?

    I really wanted this but alas sold out! I also hate that about MAC! Why, limited editions? I guess just to get everyone very excited about the collections.
