Misa Wishes Collection for Spring 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review
Misa, which is one of my very favorite nail polish brands, has two new collections out for spring 2011 and this one is called Wishes.
Wishes contains six pale, shimmery, opalescent spring-like colors. They are not super-opaque, more like a wash of color, but still really quite pretty.
Misa’s polish is on the thicker side, which means most of these were just two coats.
Whimsical Wishes
Whimsical Wishes is a pale peachy pink shimmer. This color reminds me of seashells for some reason. It’s the most pale of the collection here.
Pixie Princess
Pixie Princess is a slightly deeper color than Whimsical Wishes and is more of a golden pink. Very pretty but it matches my skin tone so much it’s not standing out a whole bunch.
Never Say Never
Never Say Never is a pale silver white with massive shimmer. I actually like this more than most silver metallic polishes. You don’t see silver shimmer as much as silver metallic, so it’s something unexpected I think.
Fountain of Youth
Fountain of Youth is a very pale green with loads of shimmer. I like this because it’s VERY spring-like and it’s a nice chance from a super-obvious green. It almost borders on having a yellow-ish tone. This was three coats.
Touch the Rainbow
Touch the Rainbow is a pale, opaque sky blue shimmer. This is actually more pale than sky blue it’s more of a white/blue color and is the most opaque here. It’s got some greenish/yellowish shimmer in it also. Very pretty!
Genie in This Bottle
Genie in This Bottle is a pale lavender with heavy pink shimmer. This one is just gorgeous on the nail, despite it being so light colored. I have always been drawn to these kinds of colors. This was three coats.
Overall:
Lovely collection, though perhaps nothing extraordinary. I like these because they aren’t sheer, just pale. They are very appropriate for spring!
Availability: Online (Head2Toe Beauty)
Pricing: $3.75

I love Misa and these are so pretty! They make me think of little pastel-colored eggs in an easter basket. I definitely need to get Genie In This Bottle, Touch the Rainbow and Fountain of Youth. Thanks for swatching these

< I kind of miss seeing my little monster dude, lol. Anyway, I think these are very nice on you! Very office appropriate. I think I like the last 2 best
I wonder why all the other e-tailers stopped stocking the new Misha collections. I’m not a fan of H2TB, I much prefer transdesign and VNS. Maybe I’ll look on ebay . . .
Transdesign has them, they just don’t list Misa by collection anymore
You have to search through the whole Misa list to find them but they’re there. The 9-5 collection is up too if you’re interested in those.
Thanks so much Jennifer. I would have never realized that if you didn’t mention it lol
very pretty – I’m feeling the purple
Wow! I love these pale but not sheer colors!!! My fav is Genie in This Bottle!

i was hesitant on getting any of these but i ended up with genie, never say never, and rainbow. i love them! they’re so different and almost have a matte finish, like satin. i think genie is my favorite.

All of these are pretty, but none of them really wow me. Looks like I’ll be saving my money. Thanks for swatching them and helping me decide!

The first two (Whimsical Wishes and Pixie Princess) remind me a bit of Chanel’s Django from Spring 09. Have you ever swatched Django? Is Pixie Princess kind of close?
Hi moxy,
Sorry no I haven’t.
Surprisingly, I really like this collection! Especially the silver shimmer and the peachy one.

I was wondering if anybody would swatch these, they’re so pretty! Do you think you’ll swatch the new creme collection?
Hi Jamie,
Yes I already did will be posting soon
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for swatching these. I’ve never tried Misa, so I think I need to try them with Touch the rainbow!!
Meh!
I love the three in the bottom row!

Touch The Rainbow is pretty. Not a fan of the rest.
Nothing I have to have though I do really like Touch the Rainbow
I think your pix do them much more justice than Misa’s promos. They looked boring in those but yours make me want the last 3.
Because of your swatches, I caved…lol I purchased Pixie Princess, Fountain of Youth, Touch the Rainbow, and Genie in This Bottle as they were the colors that called to me the most. Thank you for enabling me for the first, but definitely not the last time.
Touch the Rainbow is my favorite. Pretty collection of polishes.
