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
Ooh, love NYC, wonderful formula for the price! Thanks for the comparison, now I have an excuse to need the NYC ;) xxx
ReplyDeletehehe no problem hun! xxx
DeleteLove 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 ;)
ReplyDeletehehe I thought the same thing! Hope you find it hun :-)
DeleteI've never tried NYC polishes before but I might be tempted now, that colour is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it? :-) You should really try them at some point..they're great quality :-)
DeleteI haven't used this brand. Nice colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting my blog in your favourite blogs on the left, I really appreciate it. Maybe I should do sth like that some day.
No problem hun!
DeleteIt's a great way to find new blogs :-)
Is NYC that cheapo brand you ca get in boots'superdrug? Or am I thinking of a completely different one??
ReplyDeleteYep that's the one!
DeleteI've only ever seen it at Superdrug though :-) their prices are great, especially as Superdrug has a "3 for 2" sale on right now :-)
Oooh I like both. The NY reminds me of OPI Pandemonium Pink
ReplyDeleteOhh lovely! I will have to do a google swatch to see!! :-)
