Oh hey guys, it's Cheap Polish Tuesday-Well OK, it's not really but it's gotta be Tuesday SOMEWHERE in the world, right? Actually scratch that, I think Pacific Time is one of the last to hold onto the days. But let's pretend. I'm here after all so we might as well make the best of it. Today I have a polish from NYC New York Color. I picked this one up from Wal-Mart for a mere $1.50! Yeah man, that's even cheaper than the dollar store polish I found that one time! Let's move on.
This is NYC New York Color Tudor City Teal which reminds me of something but we'll get to that later. Tudor City is a dusty to the extreme mint teal creme. It reminds me of those vintage seafoam guitars, vintage seafoam dentist chairs. Vintage seafoam anything, really. Formula wise, it wasn't too shabby. It was definitely on the sheer side and it covered OK in two coats but a third was required for maximum opacity. Here's my swatch in two coats, with no top coat:
Not bad for a base creme! How does it do with some glitter swag? I put on one coat of Rainbow Honey Magic Cake to find out. (Oddly enough my Magic Cake mini is running low! I guess it's not that surprising though.):
Not shabby at all, am I right? Anyway what I was saying before... Doesn't this remind you of a little infamous polish called: Essie Turquoise and Caicos? It reminds me of the same type of dusty seafoam that I remember. I may have to do a comparison soon but off the top of my head - damn they look similar! Except one has a better formula!
What do you think of this polish? Worth $1.50 or what? Does it also remind you of a little infamous dusty seafoam colour as well?
I absolutely love this shade. Fuck, I love all those muted, dusty colours.
ReplyDeleteI need Magic Cake too :c
Magic Cake is great! It definitely seems like there's a neon glitter trend going on, though. I bet you could get any neon glitter - I just pretend Magic Cake because EARTHBOUND!
DeletePretty, especially with the top coat! And I know I said I only liked round glitter a few posts back, lol :-)
ReplyDeleteThis one has the best of both worlds - square and round! :D
DeleteIt definitely does look a little bit like Essie Turquoise and Caicos! I have that one but haven't tried it yet more than in a gradient (I know, I know lol)
ReplyDeleteI love colors like this! Nice addition of the glitter!
I'll definitely have to do a comparison post because it's seriously all I keep thinking about haha!
DeleteOnly $1.50 for this? Wow! The finish is flawless!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes that colour looks close to Essie T&C, you definitely have to do a comparison!
All I could think of was... DAVIDsTEA? lol!!
I love the glitter topper as well, the colours go great together!
LOL DAVIDSTEA. It's forever our curse. :)
