NYC Colors Black Magic Halloween 2011 Review, Swatches, Pictures

Hey guys!

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


Pumpkin is a orange creme polish with gold shimmer mixed. Overall, the polish tilts more towards orange-yellow.


 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
I know the picture for Blackula isn't the best, but every picture I took didn't show the black color.

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
