Isadora Metropolitan

You saw Night Flight yesterday, so here’s the next one from Isadora’s autumn collection: Metropolitan.

Metropolitan is a straight-up creme with no bells or whistles (i.e. shimmer, glitter, whathaveyous). Does that mean it’s boring? NO!

The formula is fantastic and application is a breeze (forgiven my sloppiness evident in the photos — I was kind of in a rush while swatching. Seriously bad combination of things to be/do). It’s opaque in two coats and the colour is a dark taupe, kind of like really dark coffee with just a drop or two of milk. Amaaaaaazing!

Also, it’s really shiny. Isadora polishes usually are, even without top coat, which is one of the reasons I love them so.

Crappy flash photography that at least kind of shows that little bit of milk.

There’s a third polish in the Paradox collection, a deep red creme, but I haven’t bought it yet and I’m not sure if I will either. I have a lot of reds already, but my stash was lacking in brown and blues, which is why I picked up the other two colours first.
