TIME SQUARE NEW YORK PASTELS



Last week I showed you all the three pastels I got from Transdeign. Quite a few of you showed an interest in them, and I was pretty curious how well these would do myself. So, I decided to try them all out and post up some swatches of them for you. Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!!! I love these! I can't believe I got these for 49 cents!

I loved all three of these colors. They were all pretty nicely pigmented and reached bottle color in only two coats. However, they really did need a third coat just to smooth it out nicely. These colors can be found at Trans Design under the brand Kolor Ring and are regularly priced at $1.37. I see at least three more colors I will be getting!
AQUA PASTEL





LILAC PASTEL




MINT PASTEL




SO now I want to hear from you! What do you all think of these pretty pastels? Are these hot or what?

    RAI - These were so worth the 49 cents I paid.

    THE ASIAN GIRL - I immediatly thought that the blue one looked kind of like RBL - one of those sponge bob colors that came out not too long ago - but I don't remember what the name was on the blue one.

    VIOLET - These are worth it. I am really pleased with them.

    NIXXY - I was really surprised, I guess I wasn't expecting much from these cheapos :)

    SASHA - Essie smessie! lol these are much cheaper, lol

    SMOOCHIE - I think that one was mine too!

    CLOCKWORK - The green one reminded me of tooth paste - but in a good way :)

    LUCY - Thank you. It's no problem, I was def. in a swatching mood this weekend, I did a TON of swatches.

    I like this brand. I got a few from Trans Design myself. I did a few fake nails w/them and I really like how they apply. Your pastels are so cute!
