MAC A Novel Romance Nail Polish Swatches + Review

August 22, 2014

Press Sample/Affiliate Links

The latest MAC collection to be released is A Novel Romance. All thoughts of cheesy love stories aside, this is a solid collection – complete with six new nail lacquers! Of the six shades released I have three to share with you today in Before Dawn, Sunset Sky and Midnight Storm.

MAC A Novel Romance Nail Polish Swatches Review

Before Dawn is described as a green grey cream. I feel that description is so misleading because this has a hidden green shimmer in it that is breathtaking, giving it a smoky teal vibe. Two coats.

Sunset Sky is described as a midtone crimson cream. It’s got a very subtle magenta shimmer. Two coats.

Midnight Storm is described as a deep magenta cream. It’s also infused with a light fuchsia shimmer that makes it gorgeous! Two coats.

My fave of the three, without a doubt, is Before Dawn. I knew I loved you before I met you. What nail polishes from A Novel Romance are on your wishlist?

MAC Studio Nail Lacquer retails for $12.00 and is available at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s and maccosmetics.com.

    I like Midnight Storm. It’s similar to a new Milani shade but it has a bit more red in it. Such a pretty shade
