Swatches of Two NYC

Secate li se mozda ona dva NYC laka sto sam kupila u Budimpesti? Jedan od njih ste vec videli kao podlogu kada sam crtala Hakuna Matata, ali tada ga nisam uslikala samog, pa je dosao napokon red i na to. Iskreno, ovo je moj prvi dodir sa ovom markom lakova, i ne mogu da se odlucim jesam li zadovoljna ili ne. Da krenemo od prvog…
Prince Street je lak prelepe ljubicaste boje, sa metalik finishom. Bukvalno mogu videti svoj odraz na noktima :D. Cetkica je perfektna, ali se tokom mazanja cini kao da ce se videti svaki potez, sto naravno kao sto vidite, nije tako. Kada se osusi (sto je veoma brzo), perfektan je. Nazalost, da bi se dobila boja koju ocekujete kada vidite u bocici, treba 3 sloja.


Do you maybe remember those two NYC polishes that I bought in Budapest? One of them you already saw as base coat when I drew Hakuna Matata, but then I didn’t had time to swatch it, so now is finally time for that. To be honest, this is my first experience with this brand of nail polishes, and I still can’t decide am I satisfied or not. Let’s start with first one…
Prince Street is beautiful purple colored nail polish, with metallic finish. I can literally see my reflection on nails :D. Brush is perfect, but when you are applying it, it seems like you will see every move of the brush, but it’s not true. When it dries (which is very fast), it’s perfect. Unfortunately, to get the color that you expect when you see a bottle, you will need 3 coats.





A sada, po meni lepsi, East Village. Naravno, samo iz razloga sto obozavam sve nijanse plave boje. Vec kada sam namazala prvi sloj, bilo mi je jasno da je ovaj lak pozeljno koristiti samo kao layer, nikako sam. Ali, kada sam vec pocela, odlucila sam da vidim koliko ce mu slojeva trebati. Lak se brzo susi, tako da mi nije bilo tesko da nanesem svih 6 slojeva.


And now, in my opinion prettier, East Village. Of course, it’s only because I love all kind of blues. When I applied one coat, I knew that this polish is made for using as later, not alone. But, since I already started, I decided to see how many coats it will need. Polish dries quickly, so it wasn’t hard for me to apply all 6 coats.




Odlucila sam da ga isprobam kao layer preko Essence – Midnight Rocker. Posto mi je blizu stojao i Essence – Glisten Up!, koji u bocici izgleda slicno ovom na noktima, pomislila sam da bi uporedjivanje bilo interesantno. Tek kada sam oba namazala (po jedan sloj), shvatila sam da su slicnosti minimalne. Kao layer, East Village daje plavicasti shimmer sa smaragdnim podtonom, dok je kod Glisten Up!-a samo malo shimmera ove boje, ali ga izdvajaju vece smaragdne sljokice. U svakom slucaju, oba laka odlicno izgledaju preko Midnight Rockera, ali ipak prednost dajem Glisten Up!-u :).

I decided to try it as later over Essence – Midnight Rocker. Since close to me was Essence – Glisten Up!, that looks similar in the bottle as East Village on nails, I thought that comparison would be interesting. When I applied them both (1 coat), I realized that similarities are minimal. As layer, East Village gives bluish shimmer with emerald note, while Glisten Up! has only small amount of same color shimmer, but also has bigger emerald flakies. Anyway, both polish looks grate over Midnight Rocker, but I give advantage to Glisten Up! :).







Jeste li probale NYC lakove? Sta mislite o njima? Kako vam se svidjaju ova dva?
