What’s goin on? I am happy that today is already Thursday and the week is almost done! Today I’m bringing you some bright -ass polishes from Misa that recently joined my stash. These are not new, but I needed something to brighten up my day on this dreary rainy day (yes it’s now raining once again in the Bay Area as it should be). Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Green With EnvyThis is BRIGHT people! The first coat or two I was thinking it made me look like I had Scurvy or some old world disease. But then by the third coat I kinda dug it. Make no mistake, this isn’t for the weak! The color is a neon based yellow/green creme and it went on like butta.

Happy Tuesday folks. I won this polish last month in a contest I entered and was highly excited. You see, this is only the third thing in my entire life I have ever won! The first was a CUP OF LEMONADE at a yelling/singing contest (the hokey pokey) at a roller rink when I was like 10. How lame is that? The second was just a couple years ago at work, I won third place in the animal category of a photo contest. And now this. I was super excited about this color from what I saw online, but I have to say I am disappointed after trying it out. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Midnight GlamThe color just turned out to be kind of anti-climactic to me for some reason. Yes it’s a shimmery midnight blue with light blue particles throughout. But it just doesn’t *wow* me at all. Not to mention my issues with the handle. More on that below. This was two coats.

Hidey ho there neighbor! Today I am bringing you Essie’s Spring 2009 collection. This is a fairly “safe” collection (with one fabulous exception) of creme polishes that overall I liked a lot. There were a couple that I wasn’t totally blown away by but a couple I am very fond of as well. All the colors went on very smooth and creamy and I had no application issues. All pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Eternal OptimistAs you might have guessed Eternal Optimist was the one that impressed me the least. That’s not to say it’s not a good color, but on me it just didn’t work. It’s too “beige-y” and there wasn’t enough contrast between my skin tone and the polish to make it work. It’s a great “work safe” color though (for stuffy offices, yuck) so I guess I can just thank my lucky stars that I can wear ANYTHING I want to work! This is three coats.

Here we have the Kaleidoscope warm polishes. Of course I didn’t like these as much as the cool ones, but there was one that just might be my favorite of them all. Can you guess? The formula on these was just as great as the cool ones. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Let’s Do It In 3-DSo in case you didn’t guess, this is the one that might be my favorite. What’s weird is to me this seems like a cool color because it’s an icy looking grey, I just don’t see the “warm” here. Either way it’s fabulous!

Afternoon peeps! So I just found out from Nylon Magazine that Uslu Airlines has a new series of “club-infused” nail polishes which were inspired and created by four world-class DJ’s. They look pretty cool from what I can see in the promo pics which you can find here and they will be on sale some time later this month here. The colors are a glow in the dark green, lilac, light sky blue and metallic silver.
