China Glaze Metro Collection (part two) Urban Night, Loft-y Ambitions, Skyscraper, Street Chic

A few weeks ago I posted the first three of the China Glaze Metro Collection here
Today, I have four more from this collection, and as with the last ones, these are wonderful as well. The formula on all of them have been great, and I think there is a colour for everyone.

Urban Night

This is a deep plum with hints of red. A gorgeous fall colour! The application was good for me, with an easy two coats.




And you know how much I love Pure Ice Heartbreaker, so here it is!


One more with out heartbreaker just because its a great colour :)

...and with HB again


Street Chic

Street Chic is a midtone neutral brown.

Here I added some dots of Urban Night for interest.

Again, with dots of Urban Night and Westside Warrior


Loft-y Ambitions

This is a brick red/brown with a very subtle shimmer


Again, I added some dots for interest, using West Side Warrior, Street Chic, and I think I used Concrete Catwalk, although it looks kind of blue here.


Skyscraper

Gorgeous, sparkley deep blue jelly base with blue and silver microglitter.
Yum.


Surprisingly good application for this type of polish.

 
This is an outdoor shot, so you can see the sparkley goodness.

Hope you enjoyed the rest of these swatches. I may pick up the remaining colours later.
Thanks for looking.

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.
