My Picks from the China Glaze Metro Collection

Hi my lovelies!!

  I know I promised you guys a Muffin Monday today but I've been feeling like poop all day long and have spent most of it sleeping, like a cat. My meds really do a number on me sometimes. I still have her pick so I will use it for next Monday. I didn't want to leave you guys hanging completely so instead please enjoy my picks from the China Glaze Metro Collection. Thank goodness I did some swatching over the weekend. This collection had a lot of pretty colors but I cut them down to my top Three picks.
Westside Warrior. What I will consider to be the best Green to come out this Fall. Honestly. It's Army Green, it's creme, it has a flawless formula and it is incredibly flattering. I don't know what it is about this particular Green that has me so drawn to it but I really love that it is a nice, clean Army green. There has been a lot of smokiness and dirty colors this Fall so I'm happy to see CG make their colors a little brighter and cleaner. This does dry slightly darker on the nail than the color in the bottle. Nothing too severe.

Midtown Magic is magical... I don't really care for Brown but the second I saw this beauty in swatches and in person I had to have it. It is a deep Brown jelly base with the most amazing Golden/ Green duochrome micro shimmer. This is so sexy and sophisticated. Another stunner from this collection and a total must have. This was Two easy coats.

And finally Trendsetter. This is such an interesting and unique color. It's a murky Yellow with quite a bit of Green in it and a Golden shimmer that ties it all together. This was not the best color on me but try and keep me from wearing this again. I had to have it if only for how unique it is. I can honestly say I don't own anything like this shade. The formula on this color is amazing as well, two coats.

  I am so happy with my picks from this group. They are really some of my favorites to come out this Fall and I love that they did give us some sparkle. Now I'm ready for all the Holiday glitters to start coming our way. This Fall was entirely too sparkle-less.

Which ones did you pick up from the Metro Collection? ANNND have you entered my giveaway?

  10. I like your picks except for Trendsetter. I know the shade is unique, but so too have been a # of shades I have seen in the years of my polish 'addiction.' I used to buy some shades because I had nothing like it and found it unique. But those are the ones I wore 1-2 times and before too long, they were purged from my collection and major mistake purchases. Maybe Trendsetter will work out different for you. I liked out of this collection Midtown Magic and Skyscraper. Those are the ones I purchased. I like the green - but I have others similar and I don't wear a lot of greens unlike many who are major addicted to polish. I have plenty of greens however, don't get me wrong on that one. They have their time and place. for me.

  17. I have these 3 plus 3 more! Wonder if you could help me? I am trying to do those reply buttons like you have but when I did the code they did not show on the preview screen so I was afraid to go further- did that happen to you? Did you paste that code right under the line they tell you? Would really love the help!

  18. Midtown--totally love that! Added to my list!

    It reminds me a little of OPI Teasey Does It, but more colors in the flecks. LOVE.
