  NYC Caramel Toffee (#220), from the Expert last nail polish line, is the polish I’ve decided to paint my nails with this week. *Wrong*.
  It looks beautiful in the bottle, it is like a light bronzed/rosy colour, with a nice sheen - although it looks more golden in the picture. Stupid lightning.

  What I really dislike about this product is the formula. Application was not easy, the brush picked up too much product and I ended up having too thick layers of polish on my nails. The result was that it took a lot to dry and even then it looked a bit stricky and just not right.
  You can’t really tell from the pic because that’s the ‘good’ hand. Nails on the other hand were more messy. But you can still see that the thumb is not so perfect.

  In terms of lasting power, I have to say it’s doing a pretty good job. But I don’t think it’s gonna last up to 7 days as it claims on the bottle.

  Overall, I like the shade and for €1.99 I can’t really complain, but still I was a bit disappointed.
