Good morning!

Misa is coming out with a new spring 2010 collection called Mardi Gras. All the creme colors in this collection are inspired by the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.

Now I’ve never been to Mardi Gras but I have been to New Orleans. From what I have seen of pictures of it though, a lot of these colors are pretty spot on. The formula is another story…

The formula was a huge PITA for me on all but two of these. They were extremely thick, sticky and almost stringy. It felt like putting actual house paint on my nails. The good thing is they were incredibly opaque, but still hard to work with. Not sure what the issue is with these but maybe it was just my bottles?

I am a little disappointed that these were all cremes. I do like cremes a lot, but feel like that’s all we have been seeing from Misa as of late, and I wanted a few shimmers or something different to shake things up.

Anyway check them out below!

Shake It To The Samba

Shake It To The Samba is an apricot colored creme. This is a really nice color, but the application was a problem. This was two coats.

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.
