While were waiting...

While we all desperately wait for the new Orly plastix and Cosmix and China Glaze Vintage Vixen collections to come out let's take a look at some awesome older polishes that you can buy right now to give some direction back to that hole in your pocket.  We must not overlook the fact that a steady stream of polish must be available to buy at all times, otherwise the steady stream of cash that buys the polish might stop.  I mean I don't know about you but if I can't track at least one package everyday I start to panic.  If I don't keep up the constant stream of polishes I "have to have" my fiance might make a major mistake and think I don't need anymore money for polish. 

So, here is Color Club's Wild at Heart Collection.  I love this set and it's a cheap thrill while we wait.  Next I'll do the Color Club Dance to the Music collection. You can buy these sets at VNS for about $14 plus shipping.
please excuse the quality of this photo.  This polish is actually a flesh toned holo and it's gorgeous in 2 coats.  I had a major catastrophe while attempting to capture this polish on film so I have a good excuse for it being craptastic.  You see, I was looking for a sunspot in which to photograph when I innocently peered downwards. Mere feet from my exposed toes I spotted a LOCUST the size of a freakin' bologna and cheese sandwich.  During my sprint across the porch my eyes stayed locked on it's prehistoric plastic-like body.  It was EATING.  It's front legs were making jolting and eratic movements as it maneuvered a leaf in its mini wood chipper mouth.  It had baby arms like a mini T-Rex people. BABY ARMS.  Mini, plasticy, sticky, grabby, giant locust arms were coming to GET ME as I ran to the door and of course I made it safely inside.  Actually the locust didn't even move except for the nasty arm thing with the leaf.  And maybe it wasn't the size of a sandwich, but it was at least the size of a soft taco supreme. At the very LEAST.
This is a multi-toned fine glitter in a clear base that flashes from gold to amber to yellow. It's almost metallic at some angles.  It's brutal awesome layered! This is 3 coats.
 Gunmetal grey shimmer. This one is brush strokey but still cool and I still wear it. 2 coats but as you can see it needed 3.
Gorgeous blue based green shimmer.  I LOVE this color.  It is so smooth going on and man is it eye catching! This is 2 coats.
 Dark purple holo, nuff said. 2 coats.
This is a black jelly with fine gold glitter.  It is gorgeous when the sun hits it.  It's a lot like China Glaze's wagon trail but the glitter is much larger in this one.  3 coater.

New York Summer Pt 6


So far the formula on NYS polish has held about 95% consistent.  The jelly neons and cremes apply great with no drag. The shimmers and frosts are sheer and require 4+ coats. Mostly everything with "hot" in the name isn't a lie, and they dry in a reasonable amount of time. Sheer or not, these polishes can handle 6-7 coats without dragging at the cuticle or tip and that my friends is an insane feat to accomplish!  Not that anyone is going to sit and apply six coats to discover it, other than me of course. You're welcome.
Here is the first exception to the rule.  This being SIX coats is NOT HOT people. Not hot. And where is the turquoise and for that matter where the hell is the BLUE?  Six coats is hilarious to me.
I guess don't hate it. This was 3 coats. It's just kinda ok. Deffinately not hot. It applied great though. I'm lying, I totally HATE this.
This was my biggest disapointment out of the entire NYS collection.  Why?  This is NOT purple and certainly not a HOT purple.  This is a mauvey, ugly MAGENTA with some type of brownish undertone.  Totally not hot. This was 3 coats BTW.
Totally accurate name. I want to say this was 4-5 coats. LOL.
Highlighter yellow neon jelly. Wow! This is 3 thin coats and it dried FAST. Now this one is worth buying if you need a good neon yellow. No drag and good coverage! Bonus- no red fingers!
