As promised from the first NYC nail polish I bought, I went and bought 2 more! At a brilliant cost of two for £2.99! Available at Superdrug and some stores.
The first one being reviewed is Ink Stain this is a gorgeous deep midnight blue with a very lovely shimmer.
It is very glossy! The images don't even have a top coat on. It is also very thick, I prefer thick polishes. I only used 1 coat here, honestly. My camera didn't pick up the shimmer, its very subtle but it is there. Sadly I cant comment on if it lasts 10 days because I was doing a few colours in one day. It wouldn't surprise me though, the formula is very nice.
Why is it that there is always one nail that always lets you down! This is my right hand and that awful nail was very week. All getting repaired now and staying away from acrylics.
This post looked a little short so I will add the second NYC to it.
The second one is Bowery Black a grey shimmer.
I don't know what happened, but I appear to have not taken many good pictures of this polish, and its very nice. This one is thinner than the other, I used 2 coats here. It is quick drying. Again I struggled to capture the shimmer, its very subtle.
I continue to be pleased with these polishes, next time I think I will pick up some brighter pastel colours.
Looking around boots today and I was drawn to the natural collection stand. A lot of the nail polishes had a shimmer to them, and they were 3 for £5! I think the bottles they come in are very pretty, but thats just me.
They applied the same, bottle says to apply to coats, I went for 3 just to even it all out, it was a bit streaky in places. It took me ages to decide on the 3 colours there was so many!
First Topaz a very pale, almost metallic blue, but not quite.
The pictures don't seem to pick up the blue on my nails, it looks more silver in these pictures but the colour that you see in the bottle is the colour it actually appears on the nails.
Second was Champagne, a dusky pink, looks darker in the bottle than it comes out on my nails.
The picture is quite accurate as to how it looks in the bottle and then on my nails. I wasn't as impressed with this colour than the other, I wanted it to be darker.
Third colour is Sugar Mouse, a pearly white with a pink shimmer.
Again, the colour on the nails doesn't match the colour in the bottle, it looks much more white, but once it's on its very pink. It's a really nice colour, but not what I was after.
It seems to be hit and miss with these ones, at the price I would probably go back for more, if I was after a particular colour, very nice if you like the paler shades.
