Misa Surreal Escape for winter 2011 is a collection of six new colors, half being duochromes and the other half being shimmers.

From the bottle shots I was immediately excited to see these in person because I am a huge fan of Misa and haven’t been all that thrilled with their past few collections. This seemed like the old cool Misa coming back, which makes me a happy camper.

All of these colors were thick and applied evenly and opaque in just two coats.
