IsaDora City Khaki

I was so lucky to win the giveaway hosted by Kia at NailsN'cupcakes earlier this fall, and a lovely package arrived a few days ago. One of the items in it was IsaDora's City khaki. This is a polish I've actually ogled for a while, but as I usually shop online, I rarely remember it when I'm actually IN a store, plus i still haven't really managed to justify the price when there are still so many pretty polishes I need (yes, i need them :-p  who cost a fraction, even with shipping. But now the wait is over:




It's a rather neutral grey-beige with a silver shimmer (pretty well visible in the second picture). Two coats, nice formula. The dry time was absolutely dreadful. Even with Fast forward it dented and nicked half an hour after application :-( But for the colour, I can live with it.

An apologies for indoor lighting. Daylight is getting to be a rare commodity here now, and being at work pretty much means darkness after I get home, fix dinner etc. So sunlit shots will have to be a weekend item until we reach March or so.

OPI ~ Suzi takes the wheel

This is from the Touring America fall collection.




Beige-green creme. Two coats, decent formula. For some reason my left hand applied a lot better than my right hand. Probably something to do with me being right-handed, but come on. Left hand applied smoothly, right hand way more goopy. Weird. As for the colour. Snooze. Not my cup of tea, but I guess it will live quite happily in my "need nailpolish but boss will be at meeting" drawer.

Edit: Well, after wearing it for a day or so it has kinda grown on me. I'd still like for it to back a bit more of an "army-green" punch, but oh well.

So, like it? Love it? Indifferent like me? :-)
