» Pros; Quick drying, glossy, easy application, vibrant colour, not too strong of a smell, doesn't chip easily.
» Cons; More than one layer needed, somewhat of a difficult removal.
» Overall Rating; ★★★★☆
» Summary; Out of all the products in this batch, I adore these polishes the most. These polishes dry quickly nor do they chip easily. Their colours are vibrant and extremely beautiful. They also manage to give off a nice glossy shine without the usage of a top, clear coat. The smell wasn't too strong (thank heavens) and application was a breeze. I do wish that the first layer of polish had enough vibrancy to standalone, but unfortunately it does not. Removal of the polish can be a bit much because once the polish is on, the polish is on and it'll take a few rubs with remover to get the colour out completely. The reason behind the rating of 4 stars is simply because it's overall glossiness and vibrancy. Vibrant and glossy polishes are big love of mine and since this definitely doesn't fall short in either category, I bumped the rating up a star. Good job NYC, nice to see you didn't fail me here.
» Pros; It was cheap.
» Cons; Way too liquefied, not an easy application, uncomfortable, horrible coverage, no difference, no evening the skin, messy overall.
» Overall Rating; ★☆☆☆☆
» Summary; This was so bad, that it hurts to do a review on it. Normally, I'm not this unimpressed with anything and I really do mean anything, but this seriously....takes the cake. The only good thing about this was that it was cheap. I'm well aware of the fact that liquid foundation is well....liquid, but this was so liquefied that if you tried to apply with a brush, there's a huge possibility that it would seep through the brush. Applying this was messy, uncomfortable and extremely annoying overall and that is a huge no-no for me. I enjoy and feel most comfortable when putting on makeup, if I'm applying something that I don't enjoy or feel uncomfortable with, I immediately just have a strong dislike for it. There is really nothing good to say about this foundation, but hey, it may work for some people. It just didn't work for me. Oh, and I would never recommend this to anyone. Obviously it was my least favourite of the bunch.
» Pros; Extremely glossy, easy application, nice when on the right base, long lasting.
» Cons; Not really that great of a smell, glitter in it extremely uncomfortable, thicker than expected.
» Overall Rating; ★★☆☆☆
» Summary; If you've seen my vlog in which I originally state how I feel about this gloss, you'd know that I didn't have a very nice outlook on this gloss. Almost immediately, I disliked it. It wasn't until maybe the third usage or so and using a bit of Carmex on my lips before applying this gloss did I actually start to really enjoy it a bit. Although the initial thickness, smell really irks me (I still think it smells like pen ink) and the glitter made it uncomfortable, it is long lasting and it a really pretty nude pink that really just gets me excited. Not only is the colour itself gorgeous, but it felt amazing when applied atop the Carmex and was beautifully glossy. I'm not gonna lie, I felt like a diva wearing it. The reason it's rated 2 stars instead of 3 is because of the uncomfortable glitter. Again, if I'm uncomfortable wearing, it's not something I'll favour.

4. Award this to 7 bloggers.
1. I have a tendency to have a very realistically optimistic view on life. Although I like an extreme pessimist at times, I'm actually more of a realistic optimist than anything else. I can be extremely positive and whatnot for people, but I also try to remain realistic as well. My mind is weird like that.
2. Unlike Hyun, I lost a piece of the bone in my leg. I shit you not. I have a 6 inch scar and 6 inches of metal in my leg to prove it. Surgery was not fun. Neither was being doped up on morphine.
3. I hate Pepsi. Give me that shit and I will rage. Seriously. Don't ever give me Pepsi.
4. I've heard from people that I'm a jack of all trades. I disagree, but meh.
5. I study a lot of different things. There's never a moment where I'm not interested in something random and I have to look up on it. Everything from Psychology to Astrology to Foreign Language to Web Design.
6. I hardly show emotions. My facial expression hardly ever changes and sometimes people think I'm being judgmental. I can assure you that I'm not. I honestly don't give enough care to judge 24/7.
7. I spoil people a lot. If you're important to me, I'll more than likely end up spoiling you. I suggest you get accustomed to that idea.
