Today I dug into my untried pile (which is just absolutely shameful at this point), and pulled out Lake Achit and Tudor City Teal.
NYC's Tutor City Teal is a gorgeous light teal (duh) crelly (both cream and jelly finish) that is absolutely perfect. I never payed much attention to the NYC brand aside from the matte top coat and telling myself I need to try Grand Central Station, their quick dry top coat. I must try more! Application on this was workable. I say that because the formula was a bit water and hard to control for me, but it wasn't terrible and is definitely not a deterrent. It does take a few coats to build to opacity and it's best if you wait a moment between coats.
This is 3 coats.
Elevation Polish is quickly becoming one of my favorite indie brands. I love how she takes inspiration from nature. Lake Achit is a glitter topper. It has a clear base with various sizes and shapes (even stars) of blue glitter that ranges from periwinkle to almost navy. There are also some pearly gray glitters and purple/pink/brown glitter. Very pretty, but only one star wanted to come out and play. The formula on this was perfect. It wasn't crazy thick like a lot of glitter toppers tend to be.
This is one coat Lake Achit over Tudor City Teal.
I believe Lake Achit is still available on LLarowe.com and NYC can be found in CVS, Rite Aid, Target, and Walmart. I believe Tudor City Teal is apart of the core line now.
Anyone have any suggestions on other NYC's I should try out?

Tudor City Teal is so pretty and it looks great on you. I really liked it on me too - you may want to try Wine Bar from the same line too. It's also a crelly.
