NYC - Lavender Cupcake and Comparison


Hullo Ladies!

Months back I bought a few NYC nail polishes and this is one of them. 

It's called Lavender Cupcake and it's a cool toned violet colour.



It's a lovely colour for Spring and Summer :-) 

It dried fairly quickly and took only two coats to be opaque. 


When I wore it the other day I thought it may be a dupe for Barry M's Barry Ice Cream so I tried them both on to compare. 

"Barry M - Berry Ice Cream and NYC - Lavander Cupcake"

"NYC - Lavander Cupcake and Barry M - Berry Ice Cream"

Silly me I photographed them backwards!!!

You can probably tell that Lavender Cupcake is a lot more cool toned while Berry Ice Cream is quite warm.

I love them both :-) 

I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another NYC polish if I fancied one of their colours, as they dry quickly and are inexpensive. 

Have you tired any NYC polishes? Love or Hate them? 

Thanks, Linzi xx

  2. Love the comparison. I don't know if NYC are really available here. They might be in penny's but I'm not too sure. Its a pretty polish and because they aren't dupes I can get it if I find it :P win win ;)
