Spotted: NYC Limited Edition Summer In The City Collection (with bonus polish swatches!)

The second Limited Edition collection from NYC to hit stores this summer (click here to see the Color Rush! Collection), Summer In The City contains some little gems, so let's take a closer look:

 NYC Limited Edition Summer In The City Collection

I spotted this collection at my local Rite Aid a few days ago. It contains the following: 

A multi-colored bronzer, a solid bronzer and a solid highlighter. Glam on the Cheap has some good close-ups of two of these bronzers--click here to take a peek.

Three LE shades of Liquid Lipshines and two LE nail polishes (much more about these in a minute). One of the Liquid Lipshines is called Peach Melba, and Glam on the Cheap has swatches of that as well.

This display also contains the NYC Smooth Skin primer (click here for my review), which is not limited edition, and the Showtime Mascara (again, not LE). I'm not sure if the Sparkle Eye Dusts are LE shades but they look like they are.

I purchased the two Limited Edition polishes from this collection ($1.99 each) and I'm so excited to show them to you:

I said this on Twitter earlier today, but I honestly think this is the most beautiful peach nail polish I have ever seen. I'm not a big peach polish fan (have you noticed that I rarely swatch peach polishes on this blog?) but there's something about this little sorbet chameleon that makes me drool.

 This polish changes color depending on the light, and it's got that beautiful golden hidden shimmer that comes out when the light hits it just right:

 These pics were taken after three coats + top coat. This one's sheer and demands three coats, but the formula itself is so smooth--it flows onto the nails like melted butter.

I honestly can't think of another polish quite like it (although I'm sure one of YOU probably can!). I just don't personally own another sorbet like this--it's not quite a creme, yet it's not quite a jelly either. It's got this almost dusty quality to it at certain angles, but then it's also got that intriguing hidden shimmer. I'm telling you, it's stunning. If you're a peach polish fan and you see this display, do NOT hesitate to pick this one up!

 And here's the second LE polish in this collection:

 NYC Limited Edition In a New York Color Minute Nail Polish in Golden Glam

Apologies! Those bubbles that you see on my middle and index fingers are not from this polish. They're actually from the the tea bag that's on each of those nails (I had breaks in both nails and used the tea bag method to repair them--it TOTALLY works by the way). Due to the nature of this particular polish, you can see the tea bag and glue a bit better in close-up, but you couldn't see it in my first set of pics, right? It's usually pretty smooth after two coats of polish and a top coat.

Anyway, moving on to this polish:

 To me, this polish is something you'd expect to see from a brand like Zoya (Glam On The Cheap said the same thing in her post). It's reminiscent of Zoya Rica for sure, but the golden flecks aren't quite as chunky.

The first thing I said when I put it on was, "It's like the polish equivalent of MAC "O" lipstick!". You know how MAC "O" looks rose-gold on certain people, while it looks more peachy-red on others? Same thing with this polish--it's a little chameleon thanks to its slight duochrome effect. By the way, it's much prettier in person--these photos diminish the true depth of this polish. In person it actually looks a lot more like Amber's swatches of Zoya Rica.

I applied three coats + top coat for these pictures, but I probably could have gotten away with two thicker coats. Again, this one was super easy to work with--like melted butter.

If you were to only get two things from the new NYC Limited Edition Summer In The City collection, I would strongly suggest picking up both of these polishes. At $1.99 a piece they are a downright STEAL.

Have you spotted this display in your area yet? Thoughts?
