♥ NYC Skittles - west Village *NEW* Pier 17 and Skin Tight Denim ♥

L to R - NYC West Village, NYC Pier 17, NYC Skin Tight Denim, NYC Pier 17

West Village and Skin Tight Denim are 2 coats with 1 coat of T.C.

Pier 17 is 3 coats with 1 coat of T.C.

Here is a quick skittles I did using 3 of N.Y.C.'s rich beautiful blue polish's that are currently available in North America. The new NYC polish Pier 17 is the lightest of the bunch. This is 3 coats on my thumb, middle and pinky finger. It applied perfectly and dried just like all NYC polish's = fast. It is a bright glowey blue. I love love love it!

I have modeled West Village and Skin Tight Denim ... (this is HOT too! ) before. I have been very happy with NYC polish's and plan to own each one... even the boring bland colours. They apply well and dry fast. They are available in Canada at walmart, Superstore ( Loblaws. Fortinos.... whatever it's called in your Provence ) and other department stores ( not shoppers drug mart and other drug stores though... for some bizarre reason ). They are priced at $1.87 at walmart and vary in price at different stores. They are only 9.9 ml.... which is a big difference with most other polish brands being 12 to 15 ml.

most of my photos are under cloudy skies.....I am doing a full mani with NYC Pier 17 - but wanted to get swatches up with comparisons as soon as I could.

also; I'm not sure if I ever posted these. I found these at one of my favorite stores which has since closed down. I am not sure how old these are But I think they are awesome! Those are water decals and those artificial nails are sooooo curved!.

♥ Nail Fetish 'Grape Going' & Nail Fetish Skittles ♥

 4 thin coats of Nail Fetish Grape Going and 2 coats of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat.

Frosts with glitter in them go together like nuts and gum - WHY????? Why do NP companies do this? The base colour on this is extremely pretty, so its forgivable. Who thought that frosty-ness plus glitter would work well together?...... there are too many competing elements that sorta diminish the beauty of these three things and each is beautiful on their own..... just not together. The base colour, though - wow! I would love to have a 'real' polish just like it; minus the frost and glitter of course.

I did a skittles of all 5 Nail Fetish polish's I found at 'A Buck Or Two' dollar store in my town. I remember these when they were readily available in stores ( Shoppers Drug Mart ) they also had quite an assortment of coloured false nails in cool shades like vampy purples and hunter greens.....
