China Glaze Urban Night

Hello hello!  It feels like a long time since I've last posted, but it's really more like my normal schedule.  Maybe holiday is still lingering in the back of my mind.

I've gone back into my fall colors because I realized that I hadn't even worn a couple of them.  Plus it was really cold when I wore them, so they felt appropriate.  Unlike right now, which is feeling more like spring.  This time last year we'd had snow consistently throughout the season, so everyone in north GA was flipping out.  I much prefer the warm weather.  I hate cold.

Ok, tangent finished.  Urban Night is from China Glaze's Metro 2011 collection.  I was iffy about this one at first just because the purple was so different from any of the other ones I've had in the past and didn't know if it would look good against my skin tone.  In the bottle it looks almost like a rusty purple, if that makes any sense.  But I was very pleasantly surprised with the shade after I got it on my nails.  Turned into a nice plum purple.  =)

The formula was what threw me off.  I expected it to be kind of thick, since most really dark shades tend to be in my experience.  This was a little watery.  I ended up using three coats plus a quick dry top coat, then didn't touch anything for about half an hour.

Strange formula aside, I was very pleased with the outcome.
