Another awesome pack from China Glaze from the Christmas haul. Metro Downtown. There is also another pack Metro Uptown but where I picked this up they didn't have that set and I couldn't remember what the colour names in it were so I moved on. Shame really as from the pictures it has some beautiful pinks, glitter and beige. Maybe now I'm back home I can see about getting the set.
Anyways I love this group of colours. The reason is I would NEVER buy some of these colours by themselves i.e camo green and mustard yellow. Which would be a shame as both of these colours surprised me. All of these are 2 coats of polish, again this was a rushed swatched so no base or top coat.
Left to Right and below picture order: Skyscraper, Concrete Catwalk, Westside Warrior, Trendsetter, Loft-y Ambitions and Midtown Magic.
So on with the descriptions.
Skyscraper is a beautiful blue packed full of multi coloured glitter mostly blue and silver. Reminds me a lot of A-Englands Tristam without the dusty blueness. Love this colour opaque in one but I did 2 coats.
Concrete Catwalk is a dark smoky grey creme. I love all greys and charcoals so this was a welcomed edition. Great colour on it's own, also great konaded over baby pink.
Westside Warrior is a camo green creme, which is a colour that I wouldn't usually wear, but after trying it and the colour surprising me I'm glad I have it. Also dried a little lighter than I expected it too.
Trendsetter is a mustard yellow with shimmer. This one was completely unexpectant. I saw it, thought I would hate it, and yet I don't. Looks completely different on the nail than the bottle leads you to believe. Ended up liking, not loving, but liking enough to wear.
Loft-y Ambitions is a burgundy shiny colour, my third favourite of this set. Odd for me as burgundy polishes are my all time favourite, still beautiful and the shimmer is lovely though I would have preferred a little darker burgundy I think.
Midtown Magic is my favourite of this collection, it's hard to describe it's lovely and dark burgundy/black/red/Brown with golden/burnt orange shimmer depending on the light. It was a toss up between skyscraper and midtown magic, which won as I prefer Tristam to Skyscraper but I have nothing similar to Midtown Magic.
Anyways all were 2 coats except for Loft-y which was 3 it didn't want to play nicely. Great application. Love the colour variety.
Enjoy the picture spam....
