Cook MAC nail lacquers
Salad Dressed, Kid Orange, Al Fredo
Here are the nail lacquers from the MAC's current Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection, a massive collection for Spring 2012. I will be putting up reviews and swatches of this collection in installments, and this is my nail lacquer segment. This collection features three nail lacquers that are solid, bright colors, and two of them are in the jelly formula and one in cream.
Salad Dressed
Salad Dressed is my favorite out of the three. It is a dusty aqua color, and this is great for summer and spring. I also like how it looks quite clean on my hands. This applies really well on the nails, not splotchy and it was opaque in one coat.
Kid Orange
Kid Orange is a coral-red jelly. It looks see-through and squishy-looking like Jell-O. I am not a fan of MAC jelly polishes. They claim that it's a creme, but this looks more like a jelly to me. This is opaque in 3 coats, and this is a fiery coral that reminds me of Scorcher polish from the To The Beach collection a couple of years ago:
Scorcher
Kid Orange is not as streaky as Al Fredo, though, and the formula of this is manageable. I like the shade and this would make a great summer shade.
Al Fredo
I am definitely not a fan of Al Fredo. It's very streaky, sheer and watered down. It took me 4-5 coats to make this cover my nails decently, but still not completely opaque. It's described as an acid green creme, but this is definitely a jelly in my book.
All in all, I feel that $16 is a bit too steep for MAC polishes that are quite sheer, like Al Fredo. I like Salad Dressed the best and Kid Orange to a lesser degree. Stay away from Al Fredo unless you really like sheer jellies.
The Shades Of U Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
