Nailed It | The Nail Art Blog: NYC

Gorgeous glitters ahead! Put on your shades, because there's some serious sparkle about to go down.

NYC (or New York Color) released a lovely line of super sparkles, called Crystal Couture. If you visit that link, you'll only see 4 glitters, but I have 6 to share today!

The best thing about this line, in my opinion, is how the jelly the glitter's suspended in is actually quite opaque, so it works great for nail art. Like this stained glass stunner I did for you.

Nope...it's not a stamp or a wrap...it's freehand nail art! See how beautiful and bright those glitters come across? Let's check them out on their own.

NYC - Blue Majesty

Blue Majesty (3 coats) is an aqua blue jelly, with an array of glitter pieces, all in blue. Nice and royal, just as its name suggests.

NYC - Fashion Queen

Fashion Queen (2 coats) is another glitter with excellent coverage, sort of a gold-bronze shade. The glitter within it are all small.

NYC - NY Princess

NY Princess (2 coats) is my favorite. Look at how luscious that jelly base is! It's a great grape jelly with a variety of glitter sizes.

It's getting cold! I just got back from a walk with Riley (our puppy) and damn! My fingers are almost too cold to hold a brush. I held it long enough to bring you guys today's manicure though. I call it "Post Party Pavement." Ever walked out of a club, a party or some other glitter-filled event and looked at the ground? It'll look something like this:

I used China Glaze's Pelican Gray (one of my favorite colors) and NYC's Starry Silver Glitter. I dulled it out with China Glaze's Matte Magic because frankly, I wasn't feeling shiny today. Like I said...too cold!
