This is MAC Violet Fire back from the Style Warriors collection in 2009.
Bottle picture (indoor):
Nail swatch (outdoor):
This is 3 thin coats of Violet Fire. No base or top coat.
In my opinion, it's a nice colour but you have to do it in thin coats because it's quite watery. Only this formula though because I've tried other MAC polishes and it's not usually watery; then again MAC is a hit or miss with their polishes. I didn't take a photo of it but in certain angles it will have a slight blue/cool-tone tinge (so it's a slight duochrome).
Ignore the Yushimi @ Specktra. Haha, I'm too lazy to fix the marking on the photos.
It's a polish you can skip on in my opinion. It wasn't a complete let down for me because I love purples. But if you have something similar then you can skip out and besides...it's 2011 now so I doubt anyone would want to pay the inflation prices for MAC discontinued items!

Yaaay welcome back! :) I didn't get Violet Fire back then because I thought China Glaze's Coconut Kiss might be similar enough.
I do adore Mercenary though! I have a nail polish from Catrice which might be similar. Need to compare them. :)
The Swatchaholic: Thanks :) I LOVE Mercenary! I should've bought a backup! I have yet to find anything close to it :( The hunt continues!

I'll try to post a comparison of Mercenary to the Catrice polish as soon as I can Christine. :) The Catrice is still perm here in Germany I think. Mercenary needs to come back, right? :(
Totally Jeanette! If they're a dupe and it's still there in Germany; I think I need a CP LOLZ!! Mercenary must come back...one day...*hopeful*
