MAC Formidable! and Mean & Green Nail Lacquers

Here are some quick swatches of MAC Formidable! and Mean & Green Nail Lacquers from the Venomous Villains collection.

Formidable! is an interesting duochrome dark burgundy with flashes of blue shimmer. In some types of lighting, it appears more like a dark blood red.


Despite the name, Mean & Green actually looks mostly purple when viewed straight on, with flashes of bronzy gold and olive green at the sides. The brush of my Mean & Green had some splayed bristles that stuck out from the rest of the brush.

Both Formidable! and Mean & Green were sheer on the first coat, and required up to three coats to achieve opacity.
