NYC: New York Color Halloween Expert Last Lip Color Swatches and Review

*Products Sent to Me for Review

Hey guys! I am back.

Sorry it took me so long to get this review up. I was debating wether I should do it or not because I have trouble taking pictures of my lips, but I decided to just post it anyways.

I received three lipsticks from New York Color's Halloween line along with the polish I reviewed a little while back.

They came out with three lipsticks to go with their entire Halloween collection, and here they are for you. They all are from their Expert Last Lip Color line.

The first one that I have up to show you is called Red or Alive. Sorry for the poor application, I can't apply lipstick for the life of me. This is a bright blood red lipstick with a little shine.


Next up, this one is called Immortal Vixen. This is a plain black lipstick with a little shine. I wore this one today to work for Halloween with black eyeshadow.


Last up, this one is called Dark Rebirth. This is a dark plum color that my camera couldn't get the color correct. 



Application on all was great, I just have a weird lip line as I have brown spots around my lips so it's hard for me to apply lipstick well. These lipsticks really embody Halloween, but I think you could wear the plum and red one any time you want.

These sell for $1.99 in most retailers that sell NYC products.

I hope you guys enjoyed this review. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

New York Color Halloween Polishes Swatches and Review

*Products Sent for Review

Hey guys!

I am back today with another great review of some New York Color polishes. They recently sent me another package filled with some of their polishes that they put out for Halloween, along with their Halloween themed lipsticks that I will try to get to you guys in the next post, if my lips and camera allow me.

They sent me four of their polishes, and I think these are really great for the holiday and would go with any dark costume you decide to wear for the occasion.


The first polish that I have up to show you is called Black Elixir. This is a straight up black creme. I did two coats by itself, but it could be a one coater. Application was great, but with colors like this, if you are not neat, clean up is a little messy. Also, again, my camera doesn't like dark colors.


Next up, this one is much prettier in swatch photos and on nails than in the bottle. I didn't like it when I got it in my package, but now I like it a lot more. This is called I am not affRED. This is a nice wine-red jellyish creme. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, but again, cleanup was not the best. Also, it is just HOT here, every day is humid with no wind, so this one really bubbled up, but I didn't want to redo and I decided to just show you how it worked for me.


The next one that I have to show you is my favorite of the bunch. This is called Animal Instinct. This is an orange creme with a hint of shimmer. The shimmer was hidden to me until I painted my nails. I did  two coats by itself. Application was great!


Last up, this one is called Rock Muse Smoky Top Coat. This is a black jelly-ish polish packed with large silver glitter and micro silver glitter. While they call it a top coat, I feel this has enough of a jelly-ish base that you can totally wear this alone. I did three coats to build it up. Application was fantastic. My camera was not having it with this one, so sorry about this swatch.


I am not sure if these are now available in stores, so I just suggest to check your local stores that sell New York Color products if you are interested in any of these.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Poison'd Lacquer Swatches and Review

*Products Sent to Me for Review

Hey guys! I am back today with another great review from a brand that isn't totally new to me, I've swatched for this company before, but not this line of theirs.

I have four polishes today to show you from Poison'd Lacquer. This brand is made by the same lovely lady that makes Pelirrojita Studios polishes. All of the polishes in the Poison'd Lacquer line are inspired by Shakespeare works, and are all daring and innovative colors to bring out your unique side. Cecy Huerta, the creator of both brands, states these polishes are non-toxic and 5-free.

Here are the four polishes that I have up to show you guys!


The first one that I have up to show you is called Yorick. This one is inspired by Hamlet. It is a pure white creme. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, the flaws are just because my nails are peeling, as per usual.


Second, this one is called Shakespeare. It is inspired by the man himself. This is a plain black creme. This one was rich, so only one coat was needed. Application was great, but if you are messy painting your nails like I am, it is hard to do cleanup, so sorry in advance about the mess. Also, my camera was not having it with this one.


The third one, this is my favorite on the nail. This is called The Name of Justice. It is based on the play All's Well that Ends Well. This is a bright, blue-based red with a hint of shimmer. I did onecoats by itself. Application was great!


The last one, this is my favorite in swatch pictures. This is called Chimes at Midnight. Cecy calls this one a "black lacquer with midnight blue undertones, and the slightest teal shift". I did three coats by itself, as this one is super, super sheer. Sorry about my pointer finger, nail broke today. Application was blotchy, but evened by the third coat.


You can purchase her polishes on her artfire shop, http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/PelirrojitaStudios. Minis are $5, and regular size ones are $10. The first three polishes are new, and not up on her shop yet, but you can now purchase Chimes at Midnight.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

New York Color Fashion Queen Collection Swatches and Review

*Products Sent for Review

Hey guys! I am back today with a great review of some polishes I was sent.

Last week I was sent a lovely package from the people who make New York Color nail polishes, who also make Sally Hansen products.

I was sent four polishes from their Fashion Queen (or Queen's Jewels/Crystal Couture as some bloggers have called it) collection that came out this fall. This collection is made up of six glitter polishes that NYC calls Crystal Couture, and then three non-glitter polishes

Here is a preview of the polishes.


The first one that I have up to show you is called Royal Chic. My camera basically hates everything, so this was a color it had trouble capturing correctly. This is a nice chocolate brown color. I did two coats by itself. There was no problems with application.


Next up, this one is called Crown Gold. This is a metallic orangey gold. I did two coats by itself. Application was great, no problems.


The third one that I have to show you is my favorite of the four that I was sent to review. this one is called NY Princess, and this one is one of their Crystal Couture polishes. This is a dark purple glitter polish filled with light purple and silver glitter. This has a really good base, so it doesn't need to be topped over anything. I did two coats by itself. Application was great, no problems at all and removal is quite easy.


Last up, this one is called Queen's Jewels. This is another one is their Crystal Couture polishes. This is a green glitter polish filled with micro light green glitter. It has a really good base like the last one, so no need to use it like a top coat. I did two coats by itself. Application was great again, and another great removal.


NYC polishes can be purchased at stores such as Kmart, CVS, Walmart, Target, and other retailers. I have heard on blogs that a good chance of getting these polishes would be at your local Kmart, so try there. they retail for $1.99 each.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!
