I have this in close to ten different colors. They're only $.99 & pretty good quality for the price. Usually, the polish will last about a week on my fingernails without chipping & close to a month...

I wanted to like these but it takes a LOT of coats to get the color it looks like in the bottle.

I love these nail polishes! When I paint my toe nails, the polish lasts for at least week if not double that. When I paint my finger nails, the polish lasts for only a day or two but I can't...

I have this in "Empire State Blue", which is a gorgeous bright blue with bright green flash. Very unique looking for a d/s polish. I took one lippie off because it did require 4 coats to get...

Pros: Great range of colours and types of polishes (creme/Matte, Frost)Obviously dirt cheap. Cons: Colour doesn't dry fast. The Creme ones are not very matte. A little too liquidy. Will be buying...

I have an NYC polish in the color Charming Rose Creme. In my mind, "creme" indicates a color that is more matte, which this is not, but it is a nice color nonetheless. It only takes one coat to get...

I love how affordable these polishes are! I only have three colors, Black Lace Creme, Wing it Wine Creme, and Empire State Blue. Some of the colors are too sheer, such as my black polish. It takes...

I tried the clear color of this and found that most of it was already chipping off after 24 hours. I applied two coats of it to my nails. I wonder if my body chemistry does not take to New York...

I LOVE these nail polishes. NYC has such a great color selection and these polishes are only $1! I know that a lot of these polishes are not true to color/too sheer. I agree--this is why I only...

So I just picked up two of these today and fell in love! I came home and the first thing I did was put it on, it looks so nice. Even with just one coat and with two it looks like an expensive nail...

I purchased this in Cashmere Creme, a very pretty pale blue with shimmer, in the bottle. When I painted it on my finger nails, it was extremely streaky, and the small brush didn't help either. I...

N.Y.C. nail color is cheap and it looks pretty great on the nails. Two coats should get you the color in the bottle. However, since it's so cheap ($.99), it tends to chip off extremely easily, say...

Yeah, it will probably chip the next day, but with such a good price ($1) you can afford to redo it as much as needed. And anyway, I've never had a polish that didn't chip after a day. I like the...

Usually I'm not too crazy about NYC makeup- especially about the nail polishes- but there is one in particular that I absolutely just love. It's called 'love letters', the light airy pink one....
