NYC Peony

This doesn't look all that exciting in the bottle. But as I passed it in the display at Rite Aid, it caught my eye.

I was there in search of flashier colors, but I kept coming back to this, and for $1.99 (and BOGO 50% off) I said what the heck!

I'm glad I did, because this was a hidden gem! On the nail, it's totally gorgeous! It's got really pretty secret shimmer.

Dry time and wear were excellent!

I love Purple!

Left to right: Essie "Huckle Buckle" SH "Purple Potion" NYC "China Town" Nubar "Moon Shadow" and Sinful Colors "Daddy's Girl"

Colors go thumb to pinky. Pinky is "Daddy's Girl" on tip with "Hucklebuckle" as a base.

Purple potion (index) is really neat. It's a little on the lavender side and it has these awesome blue-toned sparkles when you look at it in the light. I found it for 50% off at CVS, so I don't know if it is being discontinued. "Moon Shadow" (ring finger) is of course a real stunner, look how it goes to golden-ish to plummy-so pretty!!!

"Moon Shadow" totally reminds me of the color of this velvet shirt I had in highschool. It used to be my "first date" shirt. I loved that shirt!

"Huckle Buckle" is so pretty! I saw it on a MUA-er and really wanted it, but couldn't find it online anywhere. I ended up paying full price for it! :( Then today, I noticed that Transdesign has it for like $3.60. Boo!

You don't think that is all the purples I have do you????

Drugstore Finds

Sakky Hansen Xtreme Wear - 50% off at CVS made some nice Konad designs this color is "Flirt"

This is the one I am most excited about! NYC "Chinatown" it's a deep purple/grey color with a lot of depth and shimmer. It's on my index finger here. And there it is super-close up below. The other colors are Sinful -"What's your name" and "daddy's girl" and on pinky is Milani "Timeless".

NYC "Chinatown"

Pretty, right!?

Milani "Antique" with flash

This one was hard to capture indoors. It's a little more periwinkle than baby blue on. This is three coats. It's really gorgeous on and has a deep secret shimmer to it, barely noticable but really gorgeous!
