REVIEW! | MAC Betty Lacquer in Comic Cute {Archie's Girls Collection}


MAC Archie's Girls Betty Lacquer in Comic Cute is a bright coral creme nail polish.  It's a bright yellow-based pop of coral pink pizzazz.

Coral is one of my favorite colors and when I saw this polish, my heart went pitter-pat!  Unfortunately, it applied a bit streaky and took 3 coats to reach opacity.  On me, Comic Cute lasted 5 days before I started experiencing some chipping and tip wear.

The only thing that distinguishes the bottle as a limited edition color is the white cap; there aren't any other fun little surprises like Betty's face or a smattering of red hearts on the bottle.

This MAC nail lacquer retails for $17.50 for a 0.34 oz bottle.  As a comparison, Essie polishes retail for $8.00 MSRP for 0.46 oz and Spoiled polishes by Wet n' Wild retail for $1.99 for 0.5 oz.

Originally, I thought it looked a bit like Essie's Cute As A Button, but Comic Cute is pinker.

The color is gorgiepants, but I think the price is a little steep for a mediocre formula without any limited edition Archie fanfare on the bottle.

My Rating: B
Cost: $17.50
Where to buy: MAC

    1. Fully agree! Coral is such a happy color, and remains the great flatterer for almost EVERY skin tone!
