So I saw the new NYC Colors display at my local Rite Aid and bought two of the lip products and a polish from their latest collection for Halloween, which is called Black Magic.
I won't normally have anything but nail polish on this blog, but since it's fairly new and the colors are interesting, I thought why not show you the lip gloss and lipstick as well! Here's the three items I'll be showing you :)
(L-R) NYC Lipstick in Ghostly White, NYC Quick Dry Polish in Pumpkin, NYC Kiss Gloss in Blackula |
First up is a swatch of an In a New York Color Minute Quick Dry polish called Pumpkin.
I used two coats and my nails lines were still a bit visible (which I don't mind), so three coats would probably cover all that. This is a great warm color for fall, but it's bright enough that you can wear it during summer too, in my opinion.
Gooorgeous! You can really see the gold shimmer here. |
Next up are a NYC lipstick called Ghostly White and a lip gloss called Blackula.
A close up shot of Blackula. You can see the silver glitter in it. |

Blackula by itself...Arghh so hard to photograph |
Ghostly White is a white shimmery lipstick. It didn't have a grainy feel on my lips even though it has shimmer in it. It was fairly opaque, but the shimmer makes it more sheer than a plain white lipstick. You would have to build up the color if you wanted total coverage.
Blackula Is a black lip gloss with tiny silver glitters in it. I think would look great over red or purple lipstick, if you wanted to look a bit vampy. It is a very pigmented gloss (you only need to apply a bit or else you look super-goth) and you could build up the color to be very sheer or very very dark.
I was really happy with these purchases, I love all three of these unique colors. But what do you think of these Halloween-themed products? Thanks for reading :D
