Swatches for New York Colors nailpolish–Purple Pzzazz Frost 133 and Fun and Easy Back to School Nailart- Part I

Happy Sunday Girls,
For this Week I am painting my nails with this beautiful color called Purple Pizzazz 133 from NYC Long Wearing nail color. It’s a beautiful color from a deep purple family. It has some pink undertones to it. It is not opaque in once coat, goes on very light, and then you need at least three coats after base coat to get the desired opaqueness. I liked this color, it is perfect color for fall. But you can wear year round too.


Fun and Easy Back to School Nail art

I decided to do a little bit of fun and easy flower nail art on middle finger. Nothing fancy just a basic flowers and polka dots using another orange nail polish buy you can use any other color also.

I use dotting told for this nail art, but you can use a toothpick or bobby pin or a makeup brush.
This is such an easy and no time consuming nail art, anyone can do it so easily. You can alternate design on all fingers also. I am not a pro in this nail art, but I just want some fun rather than just painting all your fingers in one color.

Just paint the finger in white color nail polish and using a dotting tool, make four dots close to each other, like a flower and then when it dries little bit draw a small circle in middle of the fur dots which will look more like a proper flower shape. Cover the empty space with small polka dots or you can leave blank too. Like I said it is completely optional to you in whatever way you want to create fun with your nail art.

New York Color City Duet 2 in 1 Lip color The Rock A Fellas 430

As the name suggest 2 in 1 lip color, it has two shades in one tube, for ombre effect, but also can wear alone. I reviewed “New York Color City Duet 2 in 1 Lip color The Metropolitan Mauves 432” on my last blog post. If you want to see that click here.

The Rock A Fellas contains two cremes:- one is a bright coral (left side), while the other is a light peachy-salmon(right side). If you like coral cremes, you might enjoy this one.
I have never wore any nude peachy color, it looks kind of dead on me. But I think you can wear with blended together, I have not tried it yet. The finishes in this collection vary from lipstick to lipstick. As mentioned in my other posts, some shades come with two shimmers, some come with one shimmer and one creme, and but this one The Rock A Fellas, come with two cremes.
As for the texture, I find all of the lipsticks in this post very creamy and moisturizing.

 
 
I can get about 3-4 hours of wear from these lipsticks, The Rock A Fellas is a gorgeous combo. You have this very pretty coral-pink on one side and red-coral on the other. They look great on their own or combined. Some beauty bloggers have found this as a dupe of YSL Peach Passion.
It has waxy vanilla creme scent. The formula is smooth, rich, and pigmented and is a beautiful color. It has a decent wear time, about 3-4 hours of wear from these lipsticks, comparable to some of my higher-end cream lipsticks

New York Color City Duet 2 in 1 Lip color The Metropolitan Mauves 432

As the name suggest 2 in 1 lip color, it has two shades in one tube, for ombre effect, but also can wear alone.
Review

1. Very Good Pigmentation
2. One Crème finished and one shimmer shades, can be wore alone or together.
3. Very affordable
4. Smooth finish and moisturizing
5. Very strong scent and flavor.
6. Good for price for $2.99
7. Packaging is cheap, it is difficult when you close and open the lipstick 
8. Not that long lasting, but still can get 4 hours.
9. Does not stain
10. Has many shades to choose from nudes, reds, pink, purples and coral.

I would recommend this color, for budget friendly makeup. I never had this dark purple in my collection, when I saw these I picked up in CV sale. Now I am satisfied as I have this purple color, I like both the colors actually alone, have not wear together but If I try I will post a picture on my social media.
Here are the swatches if you wear it alone:-



This pink side has little shimmer, but dark purple is completely crème shade no shimmer. I have also included close picture of pink side after using it, it shows the little shimmer.
 
I have one more from this collection, which I will post in my next post. Be sure to check that out also. They are going out of stock, if you like the swatches, make sure you grab them soon from CVS or Walmart.

Neutral / Nude Nails for Interviews or Everyday Office wear

I love this NYC color in “Fashion Safari 201”, perfect nude/ neutral shade for work or interviews. This is one shade which is no nail color nail color look, it does not show up that much and it looks so pretty and natural nails like freshly painted manicure from high end saloon.

Looks like you are wearing very high-end nail polish, but it is just $1.99, and sometimes you can find on sale , I really get lot of compliments when I wear this nail polish.

I have topped with “Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle” in “Misty Rose 155”, it is like sheer smallest glitter with clear light nude pink top coat. I used Pure Ice base coat to protect my nails.

Sometimes I just wear this shade alone on my nails when you are wearing lot of makeup.

Here are some more picture, enjoy
