Hello out there :) Today I bring you one of the China Glaze Metro Collection - City Siren, a deep red creme. It's gorgeous! And I have a little story about this polish after I show you the swatches. Never mind the messiness about my pinky, please. I have no idea what happened there lol

Anyway, I used a base coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, two coats of polish...and then I forgot the top coat. In my rush to utilize the sun, I forgot my top coat. All these photos are in the sunlight.
The polish looks more toward a raspberry in the sunlight. It doesn't quite look as red as it really is. ANYWAY. So I mentioned I went without top coat? Well, I went about my day, started laundry...and then cutting smoked sausage and potatoes for dinner...when I realized I wasn't wearing a top coat! I went into panic mode and started checking out my nails...but this is what I found...
No chips, nicks or dents after an hour without top coat! I was seriously amazed. City Siren gets an A+ for durabilty :) But the same day I tried City Siren, I got a prize polish - meaning I won a contest by guessing someone's daughter's middle name. I won Claire's Bedazzled. It's a glitter. Just packed. So I topped City Siren with Bedazzled:

BA-LING. Kind of reminds me of Christmas...

**DISCLAIMER**  I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself.  I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
