Nail Polish Review: Nicka K Charcoal Navy

Today I'm reviewing another Nicka K nail polish: Charcoal Navy. 

It is true to color and a smooth formula to work with. All swatches were done with only 2 coats of Charcoal Navy and 1 coat of fast dry topcoat. It does look streaky up close, but it is not a sticky nail polish to work with at all. I really love the microshimmer and how it looks closer to black at times. 

Very true to color!

For some added glitter, I put on some Wet and Wild Kaleidoscope. Unfortunately it is difficult to spread the glitter evenly, as seen.

I highly recommend this from Nicka K. So far it seems like they do dark colors better than the light ones!

NYC Tudor City Teal, Essie Pure Pearlfection

A review of multiple nail polishes!

First up: NYC Tudor City Teal + Essie Pure Pearlfection

Tudor City Teal seems more of a mint green than a teal, but still a wonderfully bright color for the spring and summer. Application is great; it's not very streaky and opaque with two coats! My biggest gripe is that it dries quite matte, so I decided to layer Essie Pure Pearlfection on it.

No Essie topcoat. Quite matte.

Essie Pure Pearlfection is basically a silver microglitter coat. It is gorgeous and smooths out any bumps in my bottom layers! The combination is amazing in the sunlight and the best part is that my nails were chip free for 5 days straight! 

Gorgeous glitter!

NYC Tudor City Teal and Essie Pure Pearlfection are an amazing combo that I highly recommend.

Review: BSN Matte Sky

B.S.N. Matte Sky with Nicka K Express Fast Dry Top Coat.

I bought this at my local dollar store. It goes on far better than expectations! This is two layers with the NK Fast Dry Top Coat. The first layer goes on streaky, but seems to become a sticky base coat for the second layer, causing the polish to smooth out as seen:

Excuse the bubbles! They are a result of too much topcoat at once. 

Unfortunately, my camera could not capture that it is more teal on the nails than seen in the bottle. Still gorgeous though! A nice summer color without being too bright and pastel. I would definitely recommend it if you can find it. It also seems to be 3-free, which is nice, but smells terrible as with all nail polish.
