MAC for Gareth Pugh nail polish swatches and photos

MAC has a new and very interesting collection for Gareth Pugh and I have the nail polish colors to show you today.  The collection includes three colors, one creme and two frost/shimmers.  The polishes also come in square bottles vs. the usual round slightly tapered MAC bottles.

MAC for Gareth Pugh "Inert" is a putty colored creme.  This one goes on smoothly and three thin coats gave full coverage.  Not a very unique color and looks very similar to a lot of other colors out there right now.

MAC for Gareth Pugh "Ascension" is a frosty grey lavender duochrome.  It goes on looking almost a pale version of what is seen in the bottle, but does show some green along the edges.  This one is also on the thin side and needs three to four coats.  I used three here.

Once this MAC for Gareth Pugh "Ascension" was on my nails, it immediately reminded me of Deborah Lippmann's "Wicked Game".  Here is a comparison of the two.  They are very similar and "Wicked Game" could definitely pass for a dupe of "Ascension" in my opinion.

MAC for Gareth Pugh "Hyper" is a blue violet shimmer duochrome, as well.  In the bottle, there is definitely more purple seen and the duo chrome doesn't really translate to the nail.
