Ida Nails It: Cirque Colors Spring/Summer 2016 Metropolis Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hello! I am excited to share today's post with you. I received Cirque Colors Spring/Summer 2016 Metropolis Collection and I am so in love with them. Yes, this will be a gushing post, #sorrynotsorry.

I have been buying up previous polishes in the Metropolis line when they were being released monthly. This time, instead of releasing one to three polishes a month, Annie of Cirque is releasing all nine polishes at once as a seasonal offering. The colors are fit perfectly in a spring to summer release and across the board, formula is fantastic!

I love cremes, it's something I have mentioned that often here but I really get excited when they perform well too. I applied two coats for each of the polishes below (along with my standard topcoat) and each one applied very smoothly. I was not expecting those lighter shades, like the pale blue/green/ivory to be opaque in two coats but they very much were.

You can wear these by themselves but also, imagine the nail art possibilities. You may recall the stone water marble look I did last week in which I used Mermaid Parade (along with Memento Mori and Carpe Diem). Fingers crossed, I can get some other nail art looks prepped to share with you some other ways to wear these polishes, look for that post in the coming week or so.

The Spring/Summer 2016 Metropolis Collection to be released Friday, March 4th in Cirque Colors' shop.

They are not limited edition polishes and will be available through Cirque Colors international stockists, retail price within the US is $13 each.

Cirque Colors Chelsea Girl

Two coats

Medium grape purple creme

This is a bit duskier than my lighting suggests, a really great mid tone purple to have in your collection. It is also brighter and more red toned compared to Velvet Underground.

Cirque Colors Don't Forget the Cannoli

Two coats

Soft ivory white creme

Sometimes white can be too stark and you want something with a softer quality. In those occasions, I will be wearing this polish, especially when it's two wonderfully self leveling coats.

Cirque Colors Fire Island

Two coats

Fiery red orange creme

Was there any doubt that I would say this one has my utter adoration? I didn't think so, not with it's very vivid orange red coloring.

Cirque Colors Key to Gramercy

Two coats

Light sage green creme

Not quite mint or jade, but in that color family for sure.

Cirque Colors Lox and Sable

Two coats

Mid tone pastel peach pink creme

This makes me want to get a loaded lox bagel.

Cirque Colors Meet Me in Montauk

Two coats

Very pale light blue creme

The palest of blue cremes, which begs for some sort of spring or Easter nail art.

Cirque Colors Mermaid Parade

Two coats

Bright teal creme

YUM. Not too green, not too blue, basically the perfect teal.

Cirque Colors Rhapsody Blue

Two coats

Bold cobalt blue creme

This polish was previously released as Nordstrom Exclusive Santorini.

I've made a pretty big dent in my bottle of Santorini so I was happy to get this renamed release. Brighter than NYFW and definitely not as dark as Midnight Cowboy.
