Today I have a review of an NYC polish called Broadway Burgundy Frost. Now, I'm a red fan. A huge red fan! And I've also been kind of a polish snob lately only buying Zoya and my fave indie, ellagee. So when I read some reviews of NYC nail colors and saw some of the colors available on their website, I thought, "Eh, what the heck, I'll try it and see!"
Then, I had to actually FIND NYC polish!!
Their website says they're sold at RiteAid, Walmart, CVS, Target, DuaneReade, and Kmart. Ok. However I checked the only CVS close to me and they didn't have it. I don't even know where the nearest RiteAid is, and I've never even heard of DuaneReade. I also checked the local Walmart store I normally go to and they didn't have it either! The nearest Target and Kmart are 60+ miles away and there was no way I was driving that far for $1 nail polish!! Luckily the other local Walmart store carries it, so I did eventually find it! Whew!! That was a lot of work for nail polish! Side note--I live in the boonies. That's right between BFE and the middle of nowhere. I'm 30 minutes from the nearest Walmart and fast food. It's nuts!
Anyway, so I bought two, and this one was $0.72 at Walmart. Can I tell you how much I love the color?? It is really gorgeous in the sunlight!
I decided I was going to wear this polish until it chipped so I could give an honest review of how well it lasted. Sadly, it was chipped within a day so I only wore it roughly 24 hours. However, the formula was really good on this polish. It went on smoothly and self-leveled really nicely. Also, it didn't stain my nails or cuticles while I wore it or while removing it. I did use a basecoat as always. So, the staying power isn't great but the formula is, the color is gorgeous, and it's non-staining. For $0.72, I'll definitely buy more!!
If you have any suggestions on cheaper drugstore polishes, comment and I'll try 'em!
