Misa What I Like About You Collection Fall 2010 Swatches & Review
What I Like About You is Misa’s new collection for fall 2010. I am VERY happy to say it’s not cremes this time, yay!! All six new colors are shimmery and absolutely gorgeous.
The application on these babies was great. Misa has their formula down I must say I hardly ever have issues with them. These flowed nicely, very smooth, no drag or pooling, and all were only two coats!
It’s You!
It’s You! is a deep green/grey duochrome that flashes pink and green. It’s a really cool color and pretty unique, I think. The duochrome effect isn’t really obvious, it’s pretty subtle, but definitely there. I am wearing it right now and indoors it does look like a charcoal grey with mild shimmer.
Quirky Smile
Quirky Smile is a vivid teal shimmer. Very pretty, though I think this pic shows it being a little lighter than it really is, just only a little though.
Perfect Kiss
Perfect Kiss is a bright fuchsia pink shimmer. This was one of the ones I was expecting to like the least since it was just pink, but I wound up liking a lot. I think it’s just super pretty on the nail.
When U Say My Name
When U Say My Name is a medium chocolate brown with heavy copper/gold shimmer. WOWOWOWOOWOW. This is my favorite one here. I absolutely love brown polish but the addition of this glowy shimmer just adds an extra punch!
Like It Like That
Like It Like That is a bright metallic green with shimmer. This is very pretty also, but perhaps not as unique as some of the others. I think my pic is showing it as a little lighter of a green than it is in real life.
Spinning Out Of Control
Spinning Out Of Control is a bright royal purple with pink and blue shimmer. This is almost a blurple because there is a lot of blue in it, but it leans towards the purple side for sure. I know I have a lot of polishes similar to this, but I could have 1,000 of them, and I would still love them all. I love this color, it’s just gorgeous. 
Overall:
I am really, really pleased with this collection. I think Misa finally came back from the (boring) cremes of the last couple seasons, with some amazing shimmery gorgeous colors, yay!
So tell me true, what do you think of these ones?

Hi Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes,
Thanks!! I agree, When U Say My Name is out of this world!
Quite disappointed with this collection, not quite as expected. Pretty colors but I feel that these have been done before.

Hi Belle,
Aww too bad, sorry!
I am more excited about this collection now than the Orly Cosmic FX. I don’t own any Misa’s so this will be a great introduction!
Hi virginia,
Oh you will love Misa’s formula then. It’s really great!
I really like It’s You! and Quirky Smile. I’m curious, though, do you think Spinning Out of Control is similar to ChG’s First Class Ticket or Nubar’s Passionate Purple?
Hi Amber,
Yes I think it’s very similar to tons of blurples I have, but like I said, I don’t care I love them haha!
I am wondering how When You Say My Name compares to Going My Way from China Glaze Vintage Vixen. They seem a lot alike.
Hi Kelly,
Going My Way is more of a copper base than brown, they are definitely different.
I’m really feeling When U Say My Name. That looks like a great color for Fall! And, I agree, Misa’s formula is fabulous!

Hi Phyrra,
I knew you would love Spinning Out Of Control. Purple rules!!
Lovely! How does When U Say My Name compare to Zoya Cheryl?? They seem very similar!
Hi Courtney,
I think Cheryl is a little more red in the base and slightly more coppery. My swatch is here: http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2010/07/01/zoya-wicked-collection-fall-2010-swatches-review/

Hi Sarah B.,
Yeah it’s really quite nice. All the colors have a great glow in them!
This is a solid and beautiful collection, but I think I’m able to resist! It doesn’t seem all that fall to me, but who cares. My favorites are When U Say My Name, Spinning Out of Control, and It’s You.
Hi SB_Sweetie,
Yeah only a couple look like fall to me, but definitely When U Say My Name. Sigh, I love that color!
I’m also loving that these are 2-coaters. Great for a busy mom! I may have to cave…
Yup two coaters rock!!
Wowee! Believe it or not, I was actually drawn to that collection at Head2Toe Beauty and now your swatches have cemented it in my head. I WANT THIS ENTIRE COLLECTION!!!
(Sorry, I don’t usually yell like this — I’m just super excited about this new Misa collex!)

Hi Samantha,
Yay, it’s ok!!
The standout color for me would be When U Say My Name. That’s a hot color!

Gorgeous! I’m really loving Quirky Smile, both for the colour and the name – my unfortunately-not-boy/best friend/it’s complicated has the most charming, lopsided, smirky quirky smile and when I saw the name I thought of him immediately. XD
Do you happen to have NARS Purple Rain? I’ve wanted it for a while and just can’t justify the price right now, but Spinning Out Of Control seems to have a similar look and feel, with that deep purple base and blue and pink shimmer. Do you think it’d be a reasonable budget-friendly alternative?

Hi Diane,
Purple Rain is a different purple. Here is my swatch: http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2010/01/28/nars-purple-rain-nail-polish-swatches-review/
Thanks! I think I may almost like the Misa better, it seems to lean a bit more blue/blurple.
I really like Spinning Out of Control.

Wow, those look just perfect! I love so many of them.. Wow, these are really tempting me!

I’m not sure yet… Perfect Kiss reminds me of Rimmel Shocker and When U Say My Name reminds me of ChG Goin’ My Way.

I love them all—I think It’s You–may really be ME! Lol I think that may be my fav! But again I love them all!
When U Say My Name is a must for me! I’m really into browns lately. Can’t wait for Autumn – it’s my favorite time of year. Have you done a Top 10 Browns list? I don’t recall. Would be curious to see your faves.
I have a question for you. Would you know how/if It’s You! compares to Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder by Sephora by OPI?
Karli´s last post…Misa What I Like About You Collection Fall 2010 Swatches & Review
Hi Karli,
I haven’t yet done brown, only taupe. It’s on my list though!
Absinthe is definitely pretty different. Different green, not as shimmery, more glittery: http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2009/10/19/sephora-opi-nail-colour-winter-2009/
Ah, I see what you mean. I’ll be adding It’s You! to my ever growing fall polish wish list. Thanks for the info!
Also, love the new pic. You’re hair looks amazing!
I really love this entire collection. It’s great to see Misa back, I love their bottle designs and the name “Misa” is one of my nicknames. =)

Very nice collection
I might have to get just “a few” 
Nea/ Fashioned in Finland´s last post…a few Meow blush swatches
When U Say My Name is my favorite. So gorgeous and rich looking. I’ll be ordering a couple of this collection.
It’s You! is so me! ♥
It’s You! looks like Laura Mercier’s limited edition color, Caviar Dreams. I’ve been searching for Caviar Dreams for over a year and It’s You! might satisfy my craving! Thanks for swatching!
I never thought I would like a grey, but I really like the unique shimmer and subtle duochrome of It’s You. I like the whole collection. And, what great coverage for only 2 coats. Definitely going to check these out.
This is a badass collection!
UGH i want this WHOLE COLLECTION!!!! i think it’s such a return to force w/misa. i <3 their shimmers
