Misa Wanderlust Collection for Fall 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review
Misa Wanderlust is a new collection this fall featuring six new shimmery and metallic shades.
I am going to tell you right now, I really loved all these shades. The application is fantastic, as usual with Misa. Some felt on the thicker side but not hard to work with. They were all just two coats, which is excellent.
Epiphany, Taking Chances, Frozen in Time
Lost to the World, Life Without Knowing, BreakAway
Epiphany
Epiphany is a pale yellow metallic with heavy yellow and gold shimmer. This is a fabulous yellow because it’s not too cool or warm. Because of the gold in it it somehow reads more “fall” to me than say a lemon or more orange yellow does. And for a yellow it was surprisingly not streaky!
Taking Chances
Taking Chances is a medium metallic apricot/orange with heavy gold and orange (and maybe red) shimmer. This is a very autumn-esque looking orange to me. Reminds me of the color of changing leaves. I don’t think I have another shade like it either!
Frozen in Time
Frozen in Time is a lavender base with heavy pink shimmer. You already know I love these kinds of shades. Such a gorgeous base color, and the shimmer makes it look lit-from-within. So pretty and feminine!
Lost to the World
Lost to the World is a medium milk chocolate brown with heavy gold and red shimmer. If you love brown polish (Helen from Just Nice Things I’m talking to you) you will probably love this one. Like Frozen in Time, it looks like it’s glowing with fiery embers or something.
Live Without Knowing
Live Without Knowing is a pale taupe/pink metallic base with yellow, pink and blue shimmer. This is the most subtle of the collection, but it’s still no ordinary boring color. It’s one you could maybe get away with in a more strict office setting because it’s somewhat neutral but somewhat not!
BreakAway
BreakAway is a purple base with heavy red and gold shimmer. Stunning. Lit-from-within. Gorgeous. Unique? Hmmm stay tuned for a comparison between it and Zoya Tru. 
Either way it’s fabulous.
Overall: Normally I don’t truly like every single polish in a collection but this one I definitely do. I think most of the shades are pretty unique, and I love the shimmer going on in all six of them. If I had to pick just two or three to have I would pick Frozen in Time, Lost to the World and BreakAway.
Availability: Misa’s website, online e-tailers.
Pricing: $7.50 for 0.5 oz.

Great swatches. I don’t own any Misa polishes but I may need to pick this collection up. Love all the colors.

Very uprising, especially Epiphany! I could imagine layer up load of other polishes just to get it to look like one of those shades, gorgeous!
I love it when the english language uses our german words! But I did’nt knew that wanderlust is one of this words!
nice shades though!

Whoa! Thanks VV I already khavve this set in my wishlist! And your swatches have sealed the deal! I give big kudos to The Art of Blogging you help us ladies make sound decisions and buy more polish! Keep up the great work.
Dangit! I thought I was pretty much done buying what I wanted from this season’s collections. Now I need all or most of these
Thank goodness for yesterday’s zoya sale. At least I got the fall zoyas I wanted at half off!
I love brown polishes, so Lost to the World appeals to me. Really like that lit from within look.

These are all beautiful, especially frozen in time!

Frozen in Time and BreakAway are so gorgeous!
Fall and winter are my favorite time for beauty products! : )
I love BreakAway! Anything that resembles MAC’s Trax eyeshadow get’s me all excited. Love it!

Misa continues to impress, these are all gorgeous! I really love Live Without Knowing, Frozen in Time, and Epiphany, though I can honestly say that all of them are great.

Drooling over life without knowing and isn’t frozen in time a dupe of something, i can’t put my finger on what though

I see a couple of nice ones there, which is rather unusual for me! I normally hate fall collections.

these are SIIIIIIICK! I want ALL of them.
Interesting colors!

You totally read my mind about the Zoya Tru comparison! I just got that polish, and while reading your description of BreakAway I was like “Oh no, I’m addicted to this type of color and it maybe looks like Tru.” Can’t wait for your comparison.

Breakaway looks super pretty. Misa has always been good polish for me.

I really really like Live Without Knowing! I resisted taupes forever (I know, my bad. I didn’t think it’d work for my skin tone) but now I’m like “hey, some taupes aren’t that bad on me!”

I am so surprised that I like everyone of these! I even the like Lost To The World and it is so not me! I must have Breakaway!

Man I actually like most of these! Frozen in Time is very dupe-ish to Nicole by OPI’s Back to Reality… TV nail polish from the Kardashian set. Still like it though!
Epiphany and Taking Chances are gorgeous!
I like Live Without Knowing since it isn’t like everything else I have.

Wow! I don’t have any Misa yet, but I like all of these.
I just recently fell in love with Misa polishes, and I think all of these are must haves for me, even if I may see an Essie Smooth Sailing and Zoya Tru dupe.. that’s ok! MIsas formula is worth it IMO. They look so speckily and so autumny they’re beautiful! Great swatches as usual Kelly! Thanks!
How does “Lost to the World” compare to OPI “Wooden Shoe Like to Know”?

Poor wallet. I need them all! Just gimme a sixpack.
I can do without Epiphany & Taking Chances but the rest are gorgeous!
Jasmine´s last post…Cirque: All Hallow’s Eve Collection Preview
I’ve been eyeing Frozen In Time and BreakAway. Lost in Time seems too similar to OPI’s Wooden Shoe Like To Know so I’ll probably pass on that one even though I love that milky chocolate color.

I love all the polishes in this collection, surprisingly. But they all look really cool. Frozen In Time reminds of one of the NOPI Kardashian Kolors or Sinful Zeus. In any case, I want all of these!

Gorgeous polishes, wow!
I love “Taking Chances” and “Frozen in Time!” I am having a hard time deciding which is more beautiful.
I’ve never tried any Misa, but Live Without Knowing looks gorgeous!
Oh wow, I really really like Taking Chances.
I don’t own any Misas but I am loving Lost to the World and Frozen in Time, especially since I never tracked down Sinful Colors Zeus.
Such beautiful colors. Love it!
The blue shade is beautiful…. <3
