China Glaze Metro Collection - Concrete Catwalk, Skyscraper, Street Chic (Review, Photos & Swatches)


A few swatches from the China Glaze Metro Collection for fall 2011. Although everything was very wearable, there were a few redundant shades here and there. Overall, it was very fall appropriate!




"Concrete Catwalk" is a dark grey, very chic and classy. It needs two coats for opacity. I would stop with two, three makes it look almost like black. "Street Chic" is a smokey brown with a creme finish that is an everyday color and very work appropriate. Concrete Catwalk and Street Chic both have a slight glossy finish but, I've still applied top coat here. "Skyscraper" is a shimmery, dark blue with tons of silver glitter. One coat is just very sheer color and a lot of glitter. For deep blue color and glitter, I added 3 coats. The formula of this shade is very thick and takes a long time to dry especially with 3 coats! While removing, it requires much less effort than other glitter polishes though. Nevertheless, beautiful shade and looks good on all skin tones. I'm currently wearing it on my toes and I think it looks better on my toes than on my fingers!
