NYC in a minute Chinatown is now number 275. Perhaps reformulated entirely, or renumbered due to new packaging. At any rate I find this an awesome looks black in the bottle, but applied, is a...

Is this a purple??? I seriously can't tell what color this polish is supposed to be, lol... I LOVE it though! It looks like a deep charcoal to me with just a hint of dark, dusty purple. Anyway, I...

This is a very pretty dark purple. I paid 50 cents at target and did not expect much. I love it! It stamps perfect which delighted me.

Bought this on sale for 0.99. It is a very deep purple with a hint of shimmers. It looks almost like black indoors but the purple undertone will show outdoors. Two coats are enough for a very...

great for its price and really loved the dark purple color. It is very dark - almost hard to tell it is purple under certain lights. I am pleased with how it is not watery and fairly pigmented :)

I love this color! It's like ink pen indigo/concord grape w/shimmer! You definitely need 2-3 coats of this or it will come across streaky and uneven. But the color is gorgeous. If you love that...

LOVE this color. As other reviewers have said depending on the light the color can range from almost black to a dusty eggplant, but the multi-colored shimmer really makes this killer. Depending on...

I have to say I love the color. I picked it up at ulta. It was $1.99 The color is great it dries as fast as it states. I do think it is thin. But I always use at least 2 coats with any polish. So...

This is a most unique and stunning deep shade of indigo. From a distance it almost appears to be a subtly shimmery blue-black on, but a closer look reveals reflective undertones of indigo. So...

Maybe I'm still on the "it-color" thing from fall 2009 where indigo was all the rage, but I am just in love with this color. I bought it about two weeks ago, and I have not used another color...

I did give this a low rating, but it is an ok polish. The first coat is always very streaky, but it gets better with the second and third coat. For two dollars, it is worth a try. Usually I don't...

You get what you pay for...very cheap quality, does not dry fast, and it also smears and has a strange consistency. I have learned my lesson not only about N.Y.C.'s polishes but their whole line.

I love this product and the best part is that it's so cheap! ($2.49 cnd) The product dries very quickly, even with 2 coats. The colour (Chinatown) is a deep purple, almost black. The colours...

This chips on the same day you apply it!! I know it's cheap, but compared to other brands in the same price range like Pure Ice- NYC sucks. I won't be buying it again although I do love the color-...
