Hump Day is here and with more craptastic
pics from my old camera! Wheeeeee. Ok for real, here are some Carolyn
New York swatches that I did last week when the sun was out and it
wasn’t 30 degrees like it is today. Global warming much? I am really liking their polishes lately. The price is right ($5.99 on their website) and the consistency has always been really great so far. The one thing that irks me is that they will not respond to my emails and they are a bit slow with shipping. Anyhoo, all
pics taken in sun with no top coat. And soon I will bring you some
other Carolyn New York blue polish swatches as well as their Holiday
collection which they just announced on their website here. Enjoy!

Howard Beach
Isn’t this SO pretty? I always love a great purple and this is no exception. as you can see, it’s a really deep grape with blue and lavender shimmer. I was thinking that this is a lot like other purples I have but I just looked and really it’s not! The others are either blacker, lighter, brighter or a different purple, so I say buy it! This is 3 coats.

Morning Vampies! Today I am going
to show you the other three Carolyn New York swatches I took. It is a
cold rainy grey day here and supposed to be the next couple days, so I thought these colors were fitting! I am
hoping to somehow take new pics of the Color Club cremes so I can show
you in decent lighting, but without my friend the sun around, it might
be difficult! The Carolyn New York polishes all had fabulous
consistency and application. All pics taken in sun
with no top coat.

This is a really nice silvery dove grey shimmery polish. It went on pretty sheer so it needed three coats. I love, love, love grey polish and was really pleased with this. For a second I thought it might be close to OPI’s Sheer Your Toys, but no. This is more grey and doesn’t have the red flecks that OPI’s does. It is very close to RBL’s Concrete Jungle, but this has shimmer whereas that is a creme.

Morning! Yesterday I told you I would be bringing you my Color Club creme swatches. I had planned on it until I realized something. I either forgot to swatch one of them or accidentally deleted all pics of it because I only have 3 pics and I swatched 4 polishes! So instead I am bringing you a few Carolyn New York swatches. I had never tried this brand and had wanted to ever since I saw one of them posted on the MUA board and died, it was so pretty. I ordered 5 of them and am bringing you two today. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Mugged On The Six Train

This is the one I saw on MUA and knew I must own. Isn’t it great? It’s just amazingly sparkly in the sun, my pics do not do it justice. I would say this is a slightly purpled out cranberry with lots of red/pink shimmer. A fabulous holiday color! This only needed two coats, it’s pretty pigmented.
