MAC Ming Blue...a Saga Of Sorts

I ummed and ahhed about the Jin Soon collection of nail polish by MAC for ages. I looked at online swatches over and over again for ages deciding if I wanted them or not..before finally deciding I DID want them....just as they became discontinued! The Aussie MAC site had them offline and after ringing Head Office, their computers brought up as none in any stores either.
Enter eBay.
I was purchasing a few items from a gorgeous eBay seller, Leah Ann from llarowe, and lamented my fate about the polishes I was having trouble sourcing. She offered to run around a few MAC stores for me in the USA and she found Imperial Flower, Ming Blue and Earthly Harmony after a week of looking! Not only that, but she also ordered some Wonder Woman items (cause I have NO hope of getting them once they are released here in OZ) for me at her own cost and is sending them on for free.

I thought this was incredibly generous of her and once again I can't believe how wonderful some sellers and bloggers are once you get to 'know' them via email.

Onto Ming Blue. It's gorgeous. Beautiful. Wonderfully sparkly and it's all mine. 2 coats with a wee bit of Konading on the ring fingers with some Navy Rhinestones attached at the nail beds. 1 coat of Seche QD.
I prefer attaching my rhinestones near the cuticles as they don't 'pop' off easily there. To remove them, I usually have to dig at them with a cuticle stick.

Doncha' love the fluer de lis pattern?
