China Glaze Metro Collection- Westside Warrior, Midtown Magic and Concrete Catwalk

I was very excited to see the new fall 2011Metro Collection by China Glaze out at the beauty supply!! I only picked up three, but wow am I impressed! I may go back for more. The formula on all three is exceptional. Smooth and highly pigmented. They are almost one coaters.

*EDIT* I  picked up a few more and you can find that post here

This is Concrete Catwalk. Dark grey. Gorgeous. Smooth. Love.


Concrete Catwalk with Heartbreaker by Pure Ice on top. I love Heartbreaker so much. It just makes everything magical.




Here we have Midtown Magic, and it is just that. Magic. It is a gorgeous deep red-based brown with gold and red micro-shimmer. It is sort of a warmer version of Color Club With Abandon, but it has WAY better application. Below is a comparison.

With Abandon is a cooler more ashy black based colour, and Midtown Magic is warm brown. 

Midtown Magic again, with top coat.

The shimmer is just gorgeous!


Westside Warrior is a khaki green. Slightly yellow based, but not so much that it makes my hands look red.



Perfect colour for a camouflage design mani.

This is in the direct sunlight.

China Glaze Westside Warrior with Tarnished Gold crackle on top, and top coat.


Here I topped Westside Warrior with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure on the pinky and ring fingers, and Orly Amp'd on the middle and index fingers.


And lastly I tried Fairy Dust by China Glaze over Concrete Catwalk. It was ok, but not my favourite. CC it fabulous all on its own.



This collection gets an A+ from me, although I am not ready to wear fall colours yet. :)


thanks for looking.

  2. I'm loving the creams! I think I'm going to have to add a few of these to my collection.

    I'm also beginning to think I've given creams a bad rap without giving them a fair chance! They are so versatile!

  4. There are more colors than this in the collection right? I love how you played them all up with the different tops. I like the green a lot! Midtown Magic looks a little too dark for me to appreciate the effects, but I'll bet it's one of those that looks better in person than photographs.

  6. Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.
    Yes creams are so versatile. I have a new love for them myself. They are quickly becoming my favourite finish.
    In answer to questions, yes here are 12 colors in all. I think I may go back and get the rest of them now that I have been wowed by these.
    And I picked them up at Cosmoprof in Canada.
    thanks again

  7. Oh and yes Midtown Magic is Much much prettier in real life. I could not capture the true beauty. It is very dark and vampy, but a gorgeous shade with beautiful shimmer that is not over the top, and a little shy on camera but pops in real life. I will have swatches of more from this collection soon.
