MAC Daphne Guinness MAC Daphne Guinness Collection for Winter 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

Ready for yet another winter MAC collection? The MAC Daphne Guinness collection is “a window into my imagination” according to Daphne Guinness.

In case you don’t know who she is, she’s a fashion icon and artist. And if you are wondering about the name Guinness and if it’s any relation to the beer company, yes. She is the daughter of brewery heir Jonathan Guinness.

This collection isn’t too large, rather it consists of 21 pieces for eyes, lips and nails.

Color Club Under The Mistletoe Collection for Holiday 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

Color Club Under The Mistletoe Color Club Under The Mistletoe Collection for Holiday 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

Color Club Under The Mistletoe is a glittery, holographic collection of six new colors.

Yep, more glitter. But holo glitter is pretty cool I think. And for some reason these seemed a little less messy to remove than some other recent glitters I’ve swatched. Maybe it’s because I only used two coats instead of three (trying to preserve my cuticles!). I didn’t get full coverage with any of these using two coats, and all but one have a clear base.

The glitter in all of these is very small and hexagonal. There is one (Holiday Splendor) which also has TEENY glitter along with the small glitter. To the naked eye this might be harder to detect but luckily my macro lens makes it easier. icon smile Color Club Under The Mistletoe Collection for Holiday 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

Speciallita Hits no Olimpo Collection Swatches & Review

Speciallita Hits no Olimpo Speciallita Hits no Olimpo Collection Swatches & Review

Welcome to the wonderful world of Speciallita nail polish. Speciallita is a brand that hails from Brazil, but never fear, they do ship to the US and other countries!

Otherwise what I have to show you today would just be cruel.

This collection is called Hits no Olimpo and it’s inspired by the Greek Olympian Gods and Goddesses. There are thirteen colors in the collection and all are holographics!

I found the formula to be pretty darn good with these. Some were a little more sheer than others (mainly the lighter colors) and I needed three coats. The darker ones covered mostly in just two coats. I did get a couple bottles with weird brushes. A few had brush pisces that were sticking out that I had to trim off, and one had a VERY wide flat brush, which was odd. Other than that, no issues.

Zoya Feel is a winter collection that includes six soft neutral creme polishes.

Soft and neutral, but not boring!

The great thing about these is they really are all opaque in just two coats. Nothing sheer about them!

China Glaze Eye Candy for holiday 2011 is a new collection of six glitters.

Yep, glitters. Again. I feel like all I have swatched the last month are uber glittery nail polishes, and to be frank I have seen enough!

That’s not to say there aren’t some great ones here. I am just more of a shimmer kind of person. icon wink China Glaze Eye Candy for Holiday 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

Coverage with these was really quite good. I used two coats for nearly all of them and was satisfied.
