Here are two more of the Isadora polishes I got from Kia:
Two coats. Application was good, and dry time absolutely decent. The pictures are taken on day 3 so wear was pretty good aswell. In the bottle (and by name) this one looks really pink, however, atleast on my nails it looks more coral. In Norwegian we call what this one looks like "salmon pink" and that fits the bill pretty well imo. This was also my first experience with the IsaDora crackle polishes. It looked very unevern and "weird" when I applied it but as it dried it evened out nicely.
The crackle (or graffiti-) polish actually cracked a lot nicer on my right hand so here is a better pic
That is what i call a perfect crackle pattern. Pretty evenly distributed in both directions. I definately need more of these graffiti polishes.
Which crakle is your favourite?

Color club ~ Jewel of a girl
This is from last years fall collection, Untamed Luxury.
Gorgeous! Dark wine red/brown shimmer. Makes me want to curl up with a glass of red wine and a bowl of chocolate truffles. Two coats. Application was a dream and the drying time was decent.

China Glaze ~ Metro collection, Uptown
Wooot, the wonderful postman had a sweet delivery for me today. the first half of Metro, the China Glaze fall collection. These six polishes comprise the "Uptown" part, I'm expecting "Downtown" within a week, so stay tuned :)
City Siren:
This is a gorgeous blue/berry creme. I get vibes from black cherries, with a slight muted, dusty/smoky feel to it. I tried to get accurate photos of it but they all turned out way to orange. There is NO orange/yellow undertones here. The first photo has been rather heavily modified to attempt to get the colour of the polish somewhat siimilar to the real one. Second one has not been touched at all.
Brownstone:
Dark milk chocolate if that makes sense. A bit like terracotta clay, but again darker. Slight dark, burnt orange feel to it. I never thought I'd be a "brown nailpolish person", but I think this one has convinced me I need more.
Street Chic:
Dark taupe. Medium brown with quite a bit of grey, and a little bit of purple. Personally I prefer Brownstone to this one.
Traffic Jam:
Dusty berry blue pink. Absolutely stunning color imho. I know it's a fall colour but to me this one screams of frozen margaritas while lounging by the pool. Aka just the thing one dreams about on rainy summer evenings up here in the north. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Urban-night:
Smoky aubergine. For the life of me I couldn't seem to get a good picture of it. I took 18(!) The top is outside, no flash, bottom outside with flash. The sun has now really abandoned me behind the clouds
:-( Great, vampy color. This is the kind of colour I think of when I think of fall.
CG in the city:
Sparkles!!! I see pink, I see silver, I even see some purple. I see a party in a bottle. After three coats I have the feeling someone has whizzed up an aubergine together with a LOT of silver sparklies. This really is so pretty. It dried a tiny bit gritty, but Seche vite took care of that, for the most part.
I pretty much liked all these to be honest. The most dull for me was probably Street Chic, while my favorite was without a doubt CG in the city. The first four are 1 coat, I might've gotten the colour a bit more accurate with two, but honestly, for a quick mani these could easily pass with only one coat. Urban-night was two and CG in the city is three. CG in the city is the only one with topcoat, as I intent to keep this one for a day or two. Soooo pretty. *Swoon*
So. do you have a favourite? Any of these that really did not cater to your tastes? Do let me hear :-)
