Review and swatches: Manhattan & Buffalo nail polishes

Manhattan is bombarding is with new limited editions … and I love it. :D I bought 3 out of 6 polishes from Manhattan & Buffalo or shortened M&Buffalo limited edition.

I guess I don’t have to tell you why I bought Manhattan 78J shade – cyan blue polishes are one of my weakest points … and I have to have all of them. If your careful this one is one-coater. Shade is more vibrant than on photos. Downside is that it stained my nails. 2 coats + top coat.

Comparison with some of the other “similar” shades in my collection:

Comparison: Alessandro Turquoise Ocean, Manhattan 78J, Essence Bonnie, Catrice Blue Cara Ciao, Essence Forever Mine

Manhattan 87J is muted grayish-blueish-green. Polish looks few shades darker in closed spaces. I used two coats + top coat.

Manhattan 35L is another heavily muted shade. This time they used orange shade with a hint of pink. Polish looks less orange than on the photo. Thick formula with good coverage. 2 coats + top coat.

Price for the 7ml bottle is 2,95 EUR (4,4 USD).

I bought 78J because I fell in love with the color, but other two went home with me as a good base for a konadicures. But I am sorry that I didn’t pick up the lightest one too.

What is your verdict? Does any of these shades appeal to you?

  1. Čudoviti so!

    Ampak ali res ne pridejo v Slovenijo? Jaz pa že tako dolgo čakam te njihove paletke senčil. :cry:

    • Jaz bi tudi še svetel lakec, vendar uvoznik pravi, da te kolekcije ne bo k nam. Dobimo pa Luxopolis, Naughty Nails in Hands Up. :happy:

  2. Prva dva se mi dopadeta, čeprav se mi zelen zdi isti kot I Sea You! od Catrice. Sta pa zelo luškana. Škoda, da ne pride tudi k nam.

    • V bistvu si Catrice I Sea You in Manhattan 87J nista preveč podobna. 87J ima precej sive v sebi in bolj vleče na modro. Res je škoda, da kolekcije ne bo k nam, čeprav mi je tudi Naughty Nails kolekcija (zamenjava za M&Buffalo) všeč in bo z malo bolj pomladnimi barvami zelo dobrodošla. :nails:

  3. I love the cyan blue one! All three looks like they have a great formula, I’ll be tempted to get these if they have them where I’m going on vacation this Summer :)
