China Glaze Loco-Motive vs. Sinful Colors Black Magic vs. NYC Rule The City Comparison

*Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties, I am back hoping everyone is having phenomenal weekend.  Remember last year when Sinful Colors put out a LE shade called Black Magic with their Halloween display?  It quickly became super popular and flew off the shelves in a couple of days, never to be seen again.  I had imagined SC would add this shade to their Halloween display this year, but was a bit shocked to find that they are re-promoting Pumpkin Spice instead.  So last month when I saw China Glaze's All-Aboard Collection at my local Sally Beauty Supply (I shared Choo-Choo Choose You with you guys here) I initially passed up Loco-Motive, because it seemed like an exact Black Magic dupe to me.  The same thing happened when I saw NYC Rule The City from the Fall Fashion Queen Collection ( I shared NY Princess here).  In the end -of course- I went back and picked up both of them, and I swatched them side by side for you today!

NYC City Samba Collection

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July!  I had planned on sharing a few other patriotic polishes with y'all but honestly, I am too excited about my new polishes!  So maybe I'll save them for another holiday, maybe I'll just bring them late :)

Okay, so remember I had told you guys earlier about a possible dupe by NYC for Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue named Ocean Blue?  Well, I have the rest of the City Samba collection for you guys today, as well as a new swatch for Ocean Blue, are we ready?

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue vs. NYC Ocean Blue... Dupes?


*Purchased by me*
You probably heard it already.  Sally Hansen changed everything but the name of a classic again: Pacific Blue.  If you are unfamiliar with this situation, I strongly suggest reading Gianna's original post and follow up over at Nouveau Cheap.  Well guys, I think I found a decent alternative.  Check it out:

NYC Top Of Gold (Zoya Maria Luisa Dupe)


Hi guys, how is everyone this Monday?  My goodness, how I love the December holiday season;  season of party every week!  In my family, it kicks off December 12th, then comes the 24th, 25th, 31st...  Then comes January with their Reyes Magos on Jan 6th(three wise men who leave gifts inside children's shoes, like Santa) and the cutting of the Rosca de Reyes, and it closes with  my birthday the 15th!  This last one is not a generally recognized holiday, but it's okay, we still get a day off to celebrate because I'm lucky to share my b-day with one of humanity's greatest: Dr Martin Lurther King Jr.! :) 

Okay, back to present day: I have a super cool polish to share with you today, and it's something I'll probably wear for New Year's.  Check it out:

NYC Boogie Nights

Hi guys, are you as excited as I am that it's Wednesday night?  I love Wednesdays!  For one thing, it's normally my day off from PT... but the best part is Modern Family is on tonight, which means my hubby and I have a date with our couch and burritos in about one hour!  :)

I have an awesome polish to share with you today, Boogie Nights by NYC.

NYC Disco Inferno

I found a lonesome little guy at Rite Aid, NYC Disco Inferno.  I have never seen it before, and it's definitely not too mermaid, but I wanted to share it real quick :)


Disco Inferno is a clear base with big holographic hexagonal, blue normal-sized and silver small glitter all in one.  It really reminds me of a Disco Ball.  I am wearing one coat over Revlon Stiletto.

 I hope you don't mind the fast one-nail-only swatch, I am going back to mermaid-mode now!
