More jelly goodness...Carolyn New York: Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a juicy red jelly. I absolutely love this because it's a wearable red for me. I also love it because it's highly pigmented. This is three coats, but I could have gotten away with two. No topcoat.

Shade:


The formula was near perfect. The only drawback to this polish is that by the third day, it's about three shades darker than it was on the first day. I have no idea why this happens, but it's weird.

Happy painting!

Carolyn New York - Times Square

Times Square is a frosty, shimmery pale orange shade. It's not really my kind of color, but I do think it's pretty. Carolyn New York had some great polishes and such cute little bottles. The rubber handles really aid in application. Unfortunately, CNY is now out of business.

Three coats, no topcoat.

Natural light:



Sunlight:



Indoors:




The formula was ok. The finish is a little brushstroke-y, but not overly so.

I really miss CNY! Does anyone remember that huge sale they had a couple of years ago? If only some of the bigger companies would do that (with Zoya being the exception. Thanks Zoya!).

Happy painting!
