When CHI were buy 2, get one free a while back I got three of them, then used part of my Ulta rewards to get a fourth just the other day.
First up is Ferry to Lady Liberty, which was missing from the display when I first saw it. As expected from the color card, it did turn out to be a grey, a very dark grey creme to be more specific.
Subway to Wall Street is a medium grey shimmer. I got an eensy weensy bit of brushstrokiness showing on just a couple nails, which I think points to operator error rather than a fault in the polish forumula.
I wasn't originally planning to get Carriage Ride to Radio City, but it was the most interesting to me of the remaining colors after I grabbed the two greys, so it came home with me. It's a brick red with a shimmer that pretty much refused to show up on the nail under almost all lighting conditions.
Finally, I have My Cornerstone in Manhattan, which is the one I would have gotten in place of Carriage Ride if it had been in the display when the B2G1 was on. In the bottle it looked like it might be too warm-toned for me, but on the nail it turned out to be a milk chocolate creme that I quite liked. I definitely dried darker than it looks in the bottle.
All of these were two-coaters for me. As usual, these swatches are without top coat.
Thanks for the swatches. :] Subway To Wall Street is beautiful! I want it. I always (stupidly) ignore the Chi polishes when I go to Ulta.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple CHI polishes and I love their brushes. :)
ReplyDeleteI think they're pretty, but I'll be skipping them. I feel like they aren't that special, you know?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome swatches though!
Very pretty colours. I especially like the greys ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually one for too many neutrals but I like these.
ReplyDeleteSubway to Wallstreet looks nice. I never seem to notice Chi polishes when I go to Ulta. Unfortunatly I don't have an Ulta close to me so I don't get to go often.
ReplyDeleteI didnt even know chi made polishes... those look nice and very shiny!
ReplyDeleteI love all these colors!!

I like Subway but you can't get Chi in the UK. Which is a relief to my wallet.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard much about chi polishes. Are they expensive? how is the wear of them?
ReplyDeletenothing beats OPI for me right now. OPI wears the best on my nails
I did pick up a few colors from this collection. Lovely swatches ;)
ReplyDeletenice all three of them but I like medium gray shimmer the best.
ReplyDeleteI never tried this brand! Hmmm they look very nice but the colors aren't super special...
ReplyDeleteNice colors, but I dislike NYC sooo much that I wouldn't be able wear them without making a little "yeeaarrrrggghhh" noise every time I made that mental connection.
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin all the new greys, so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice shades! I just realized that my ULTA did have them too but I walked past it and the only way I know my ULTA had it is because of that display.....I remember seeing that backdrop.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteshortwidenails, these are around US$8 at full price but I usually wait for sales or Ulta coupons to buy them. Formula and wear are on par with other salon brands for me.
