Let’s all celebrate the last day of the week, shall we? WHOO HOO!

Ok now that that’s been done, I can show you Misa’s new fall collection called I’m Only Human. This collection consists of six creme polishes.

I happen to love Misa nail polish. The formula is SO nice, always creamy and opaque and just wonderful to apply. The Poisoned Passion collection was spectacular and Toxic Seduction is one of my favorite colors ever. There’s just nothing else like it. Now having said that, these are not on the same playing field as some of their past collections. And that’s the LAST sports analogy I will EVER use again, I promise.

The formula was still just as nice as previous ones, if not a little thick and they were all just two coats, which is great. I feel that this was a very safe collection though. I had kind of expected some serious vampy colors or crazy shimmers or something, but we didn’t get that this time around. Let me know what you think.

Today Is My Birthday!

Today Is My Birthday is a warm pink/red berry color. Very nice on fair skin.

Afternoon folks! Once a long, long time ago, the sun was out in the Bay Area and I was able to do some swatching. The rain is supposed to be here for the next 9 days or so except maybe tomorrow, sigh. I am glad I got this new Misa Spring 2009 collection done to show you because IT. IS. AWESOME. Seriously I think it might, just might be my fav entire collection of Spring so far, or at least tied with Zoya’s. Pics taken in sun & shade with no top coat.

It’s the weekend, yay! Isn’t it pathetic when all you live for is the weekend or days you are not at work? Ugh, guess it happens to us all. Anyhoo, today I am bringing you four more random Misa polishes I picked up awhile ago. As a general rule, their polishes are so awesome. The quality is fabulous, I never have bubbling, streaking, cuticle drag or anything and it seems to dry in a fairly quick fashion as well. All pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Double DateDouble Date is a really pretty lavender with a pearl like finish. It definitely is very sheer at first and this is three coats. In general I am not a huge fan of pearl polishes for some reason but this was very pretty on me and I could see wearing when I’m in more of a “mellow” mood.

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.

Morning Vampies! Today I am going
to show you the other three Carolyn New York swatches I took. It is a
cold rainy grey day here and supposed to be the next couple days, so I thought these colors were fitting! I am
hoping to somehow take new pics of the Color Club cremes so I can show
you in decent lighting, but without my friend the sun around, it might
be difficult! The Carolyn New York polishes all had fabulous
consistency and application. All pics taken in sun
with no top coat.

Handball Courts
This is a really nice silvery dove grey shimmery polish. It went on pretty sheer so it needed three coats. I love, love, love grey polish and was really pleased with this. For a second I thought it might be close to OPI’s Sheer Your Toys, but no. This is more grey and doesn’t have the red flecks that OPI’s does. It is very close to RBL’s Concrete Jungle, but this has shimmer whereas that is a creme.
