hey hon..this answer is coming from a bona fide user of NYC products..as for the nail polish..i agree the colors are AMAZING! and the range is so varied. as long as you do your manicure every 4-5 days you will have absolutely no problem keeping your nails looking great! unless your job requires alot of rough work with your hands..the only minus point is that if you keep the polish for more than 9-10 months it can get kind of clumpy..no worries, just add some polish remover and shake the bottle..i have Starry Silver Glitter, I've had it for more than a year, and whenever i want to use it, i just add some remover to it..other than that the colors stay true and bright..I've bought and loved: Iced Cappuccino, Twilight Beige, Extra Shiny Topcoat, and my latest, Skin Tight Denim!
Hope this helps..have fun..and you can't beat the low low price!N.y.c - NYC nail polish/lacquer/varnish any good?
Yes, the nail color from N.Y.C has worked wonders for my nails. I don't go to spas and get my nails any special treatments so they are just average, nothing over the top. When I bought NYC nail color, it made my nails look like a got to a spa every day! It adds shine, smooth color, and it's not to thick like other companies. I don't enjoy the thick, tough nail colors because they make my nails look like buildings with too much stacked on top.
Plus, it is very affordable and lasts a long time. As long as you apply it properly, you can expect it not the chip when you go out and do common activities. However, I hope you purchased the clear polish along with the colors. If you didn't, you should consider it. It's not expensive, and it should be applied before you put on the actual color nail polish and after the color nail polish has dried. It protects your nails, adds shine, and makes the color last longer.
After you remove the nail polish, remember that nail polish for any length of time will mean your nails and cuticles cannot breathe. You should get a ';nail moisturizer';. It's a small bottle of moisturizer that costs around $5-7. It's thin, and you can choose either clear or nude. This is a soft, supple cream that goes all the way into your nails and cuticles to help them breathe. It is also easily absorbed.
Another great option is a sheer nail powder by NYC. It looks a lot like blush except it has more shades available and it's lighter. You can apply this to give your nails a natural pinkish glow, or a sheer glow of any other color you choose. It says on the directions that you should give it 2 minutes to set, but it really needs about 5 minutes.
NYC is a great nail color company but the brushes provided in their nail polish are not the best for even application. The polish sometimes sticks to them and dries out. The bristles are coarse and stiff. Look online for a better brush. I love the Kabuki Nail Polish Brush and the L'Oreal Soft Nail Polish Brush. They're around $6 for 2 brushes for the Kabuki, and $4 for 2 brushes for the L'Oreal.
yeah. but its a little runny. and the black color is kind of crappy. but it used to be my fave brand! i personally like it (:
It's my absolute favorite nail polish!! Not only is it a good price and color, but it lasts the longest on my toes :-D
