NYC Candy Apple Red

NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel Big Apple Red Creme $2

Here are two things that I found recently that I am OBSESSED with. The first being this adorable Minnie Mouse cup that my sister gave me, and the other being an extremely affordable and cute nail polish by NYC!

It only takes two coats for an opaque true red color and there are little to no streaks from this polish. If you're looking for a really affordable and easy to wear red, I'd definitely suggest this one. It's not MAJORLY glossy, but it definitely can be worn without a top coat. I've had it on for about 3 days without any signs of wear (without a top coat) but after that it really starts to wear away at the edges. For two dollars, I'd definitely recommend!

anyways, 

After I made this post about the shoes that I would be wearing to prom, I decided to turn my experience into a a mini series! I'll be posting about everything that I did in preparation for my Junior Prom. These posts will appear every now and then-- since I don't want it to be overkill… heh. Let's get started! 

For nails I went with Beyond Cosy by Essie. I'd been given this polish from a friend who knew what my dress looked like and I have to say, it matches PERFECTLY. This is a really great glitter polish for any sort of occasion whether you have a formal event or are just feeling like you want a little bit of extra glamour in your day. What I really like is how it consists of little specs of silver (two coats is perfect for a really opaque look) yet the polish itself has a yellow undertone. This makes it really flattering for people with both cool or warm undertones. The only downside to this polish is the lasting power-- without a topcoat, I started to see chips about 2-3 days after application. With a topcoat, it lasted around 4 days.

Just incase you missed it!
