MAC Light Affair Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review
Afternoon!
MAC recently came out with a collection called Love Lace, and Light Affair was the nail polish from this collection.
The formula wasn’t as thick and awful as I had expected it to be. I say that because normally their light creme colors are really thick and apply unevenly. This actually applied pretty nicely, and I only needed two coats. I can’t speak as to how long it wears though because I only swatched it. Check it out.
Light Affair
Light Affair is a pale grey/taupe creme. I saw swatches of this on other sites and thought it looked fantastic. However once I saw it on my skin, I didn’t love it as much on myself as I did on those with darker skin. It kind of blends in a little too much for me. I mean I like it, but I don’t love it, you know what I mean?
This is available on MAC’s site here, and it retails for $11.00.
Do you guys like these kinds of colors for your skintone?

I adore Light Affair.
I am NC15 and I just love how it looks.
The application was nice with mine as well but I wish the brush would be better.

I tried this nail polish on in a MAC store and it’s still haunting me!! LOL Now I see it on your blog and I want it more. I think it’s sold out on MAC Cosmetics.com–maybe I’ll have to give up? Thanks for the lovely pics….

I think it looks nice on you! I’ve been debating this color for a while, need to see it in person again before I take the plunge.
Also, MAC’s polishes are now $12, unfortunately. They raised their prices last fall.

I always like these colors in the bottle, but then I apply them and I feel like a corpse. I have this issue with Essie “Ballet Slippers.” Pretty to look at, but not so appealing on my hand. Maybe best with a good summer tan?

There have been a bunch of MAC polishes that I’ve really liked the colours of recently, but I can’t bring myself to buy them because all of the other MAC ones that I have chip on me pretty much right away. It’s a shame!
I do really like how this looks on you though.

It’s pretty but it feels like it’s too soon to be wearing such light colors. Well, I am wearing Essie’s Marshmallow today so clearly I am a walking contradiction

I feel the exact same way you do about the formula and shade on my skin. I definitely think this would like nicer on darker tones.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now and still no chips!

Hi Lilian,
Well it’s good that no chips so far on you! I saw it on Karen from MBB and it looked really good with her skin tone.

I love this colour but I didn’t buy it because I hate MAC polish. I hate the bottle shape, I find the brush is hard to hold and the formula is usually terrible. This looks so great on people but I’ve returned too many MAC polishes in the past so I just don’t bother buying them anymore.

Hi Alisa,
Yeah I have heard that a lot in the past and do agree on some of the colors about the formula!

i wasn’t planning on getting LA but it is nice. I just got Sally Hansen – Lavender Cloud and am dying to wear it!

This may be a little too light for me, though I am digging all the new nudes and light shades coming up!

Hi Evie,
Yeah I like a lot of the nudeas also, but more of the “mushroomy” looking ones”
