Samoan Sand stayed on my wish list way too long. I put off purchasing because I have plenty of “mannequin hands” polishes, but this one stands out from the crowd.  3 coats were used here and I truly believe this is a nude shade any skin tone could pull off.  This peachy-beige is super shiny without a topcoat and should be a part of every polish-lover’s collection!

Hypnotic, from the Color Addict line, is a bit more green in real life (more of an electric teal).  Definitely a shade for those who go for bold!  Shimmering with gold throughout, it applied smoothly in 2 perfect coats.  Although this polish is extremely pigmented, I had no issues with staining when removed.  Hot!

This was a hard polish to find when it was first released!  Months later, it’s finally mine, thanks to the new $1.99 2-pack from Wet ‘n Wild.  They have released the new Fast Dry polishes again and for a limited time you receive a Fast Dry Topcoat for free.  Nice!

Hanna Pinktana verges on the edge of purple and is filled with prismatic glitter.  Although it dries extremely fast, for me, the downside was it also dried very flat with no shine.  There also was that “gritty” feel which some glitter polishes have, but both issues were remedied with a top coat.   3 coats are shown above.

Congrats to Elizabeth N.!  She has been chosen as the winner of the June giveaway and a notification email has been sent. Thank you to all who took time to enter!

Lincoln Square Lavender is another unexpected favorite from the Quick Dry line.  I must say, I buy most of my NYC polishes on impulse; I never set out searching for them, they just somehow appear in my basket at checkout!  Impulse purchases, for me, usually turn into a good thing and this polish is no exception.  2 coats are shown above and this pinky-purple creme applied with not a single issue.  Dry time was average and the glossy shine is outstanding.
