New York Summer Hot Sky Blue

   I have another polish from New York Summer to show you lovelies today.



   Hot Sky Blue is a medium blue jelly.  There's just a hint of dustiness to the polish as well.  With a name like Hot Sky Blue, I would expect a lighter shade of blue than what this polish is.  Look at the difference between the bottle color and the sky you can see in the background of my photo. 
   The formula was ok, but application wasn't as smooth as Hot Sunrise Red.  I experienced some streaks with this one, especially with thinner coats of polish, and some cuticle drag.  The streaks evened out at 3 coats though, which is what you see in the following photos.  I used Finger Paints base coat and no top coat.

New York Summer Hot Sunrise Red

   Today I have a polish from a brand some of you might not have heard of.  New York Summer is a brand I had occasionally seen in salons and heard about online.  But until recently I had never had a chance to try it.  I found a local beauty supply that sells the line, but if you don't have a local store ebay or another online retailer will probably be your best bet.
   


   Hot Sunrise Red is a bright orange-pink neon jelly.  It's not quite coral, though close.  I know the name says Red, but I'd say this is more pink than red.  The formula was nice and application was good.  I didn't have any issues with streaks, just nice even coats.  I used 2 coats in these photos over Finger Paints base coat and no top coat.

   You can see a small amount of VNL in my photos, but it was much less noticeable in person.  Hot Sunrise Red is bright on its own, but it would really pop over a white base I think.  I think this would be a great pedi color for the summer.
