While I was out with my lovely Mumsy a couple weekends ago she tagged along as I went from KMart, to Walgreens, to Rite-Aid, to CVS, Sally's and eventually Wal-Mart. She really is the best MOM!!! Anyway, while browsing Rite-Aid the new, limited edition NYC City Sweets Collection was out on display. My instant reaction was.."You are coming home with me!!" After I got them home I realized that I already own these colors in many other collections!! To be honest, I knew that at the store but was in denial!! Oh, the issues of being a polish-oholic!
If you are looking for a set of pretty pastels that don't cost an arm and a leg I recommend this collection. I really like NYC In A Minute polishes. The formula is good and the dry time is amazing! The City Sweets Collection follows the same formula. They are easy to apply and are opaque in 2 coats.
If you are planning on adding these to your stay I say hurry up! In my area I have only seen them at Rite-Aid and only in 2 of the 3 I visited. They are selling fast!
I only purchased 3 of the 4 in the collection because the pastel green was not available. I am just going to include all 3 in this post, so it will be pretty long with lots of pictures!!
These swatches are shown with out a base or top coat in an attempt to show them as accurately as possible. 2 coats for each polish.
First is Lavender Cupcake, a soft, lavender that is simply gorgeous!

Indoor Fluorescent Light:
Second, Peaches'n'Cream, which, to me looks mroe like a soft orange instead of peach. More of a orange-y, coral instead of peachey.

Last, City Sweets Pink, a soft, bubblegum pink.

These will be perfect for stamping because they dry so fast!
loooooove the peaches'n'cream! :D
ReplyDeleteDo you by any chance have Julep Alicia that you could compare Peaches'N'Cream to? I'm loving shades like that right now and just curious how alike they are.
ReplyDeleteSorry, no I don't. :(
DeleteSuch gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like great polishes, and I like that they only need two coats for this level of opaqueness. :) Your mum sounds as if she rocks!!! :)
