I
hesitated on trying this color of polish for a few weeks because I thought it
was too nude; like it wouldn’t look right against my skin tone. However when I
tried it I was surprised at the color – it was more orange than I had
originally thought which is great. It reminds me of an orange cream sicle. The
polish is NYC New York Color In a New
York Color Minute Nail Polish in 002 Sweet Melon. It’s described as being a glossy polish that goes from wet to set in
less than 60 seconds with a special control-flow brush that dispenses just the
right amount of color for perfect application.
I
personally would have to disagree with the products description because I actually
felt that the polish took FOREVER to really dry. I typically polish my nails in
the wee hours of the night while up blogging or doing other work on the computer
before going to bed. I wore the same polish in a different color last week but
neglected to upload a #ManiMonday post – well because I suck. BUT, I probably
stayed up between one and two hours before calling it a night and going to bed
and when I woke up my nails had impressions on them indicating that they were
not fully dry and that was again, after waiting about two hours before calling
it a night. So I did the same thing last night only this time I stayed up
later, about four hours later before turning it in and when I woke up this
morning I didn’t have those impressions in the nail polish as I had last week.
In
regards to the brush, I actually feel like the brush picks up too much nail
polish and I have huge nail beds so you know it really has to be a lot of
polish on a brush for ME to feel that way. But every nail polish brand and
every brush applicator is different so it’s just a matter of figuring out what
application works best for the product you’re using at the time.
The
reason why I opted to try the same nail polish a second week in a row is
because despite the impressions that were left on my nails I didn’t take the
nail polish off. I kept it on for the whole week and what I really came to like
about the polish is that I had little to no chipping at all. And chipping is a
very important factor when dealing with nail polish.
So if
you are in a rush and need a quick drying nail polish I would not recommend
this brand (I’m a huge fan of the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri for that) however, if
you have some time to spare to really let the polish dry and set I think you’ll
be happy with the low-chip-factor and the price.
Available for about $2
at retailers nationwide (Rite Aid, CVS, WalMart, Duane Reade and Target)
Have
any of you ladies tried this nail polish? What
are your thoughts?
