Brownstone

Good morning all!  It is unseasonably warm today for right before Thanksgiving (but I live in Georgia, the weather here can never make up its mind during fall and spring).  I'm kind of in a rush to get the last of my fall colors posted before I move on to holiday colors, so there might be a post a day this week.

Today I bring you China Glaze Brownstone from the Metro line.  It's the fall line from this year which they gave urban/city inspired names to.  I kind of like how CG names things, instead of just calling it the "Fall 2011 collection" or something.

I had no problems with this polish.  I did have problems with banging my wet nails against things while waiting for them to dry, so I had to start over a couple times.  The polish applied opaque in one coat (!!), but it had a couple streaks in it, probably user error instead of the brush's fault, so I topped it off with one extra coat.  I wore it for three days before ADD kicked in, but in that time there was no sign of chipping or even shrinkage, so if my attention could last that long it would have lasted me until Thanksgiving probably.

Sure, the color does very much resemble its name, but I think it looks more like Georgia clay.  Instead of dirt down here we have red clay.  But it's so pretty as a polish, and shiny!  It did dry a little darker than what was in the bottle.  See for yourself.
