Misa Spark My Interest Winter 2010 Collection Preview

Misa Spark My Interest Misa Spark My Interest Winter 2010 Collection Preview

Here is info from the press release for Misa’s new Spark My Interest collection for winter 2010!

Ladies, put some bling on it! Whether you’re hitting the clubs in South Beach or sipping martinis in a Manhattan high-rise, you’ll need nails that glimmer as bright as the surrounding lights. Misa Cosmetics’ latest collection, Spark My Interest, pays homage to the glitz and glamour of nightlife and romantic intrigue—because nighttime nails should never fade into the background. The six brilliant hues are saturated with shine, thanks to the thousands of glittering particles packed into each polish, guaranteeing that nails remain the center of attention all summer long.

Date Nights to the Twilight: You may never know what to wear on date night, but this ebullient royal purple will lay the foundation for the perfect look, whether you choose a flirty mini or laid-back denim. Wow him with your glittering personality (and nails!), then party from twilight till morning light!

Red Pumps at the Nordstrom: Self-conscious? Never! Slipping into a pair of red stilettos is instantly empowering for any woman, and this ruby-red sparkle polish will stir up the same sense of instant sexiness and look-at-me self-assurance. Match your favorite siren-red Louboutins with this high-octane shade for confidence that won’t quit.

Spark My Heart, That’s a Start: A glimmer of interest is easy to notice—he can just follow the flashing of your fingernails as you take his hand and lead him to the dance floor. This coral-pink hue lets him know that your heart beats strong, but he still needs to work hard to keep you interested. A bold demand, sure, but this shade is for women who know what they want.

Pink Bling On My Ring: You can’t leave home without the right accessories! A girl’s gotta have jewelry, but this shocking hot-pink glitter hue will vigorously compete with the gemstones that decorate her fingers. Like bejeweled ornaments, nails will shine bright and accent any outfit just right.

Wink, Blink, Let’s Get a Drink: Skip the awkward getting-to-know-you phase and get right to the flirting! This glimmering deep fuchsia will let him know you’re interested from across a crowded room—and will have his eyes glued to you all night as you work your charm. It won’t be long before he leans in and asks, “Another round?”

Glitz, Glamour, Smile for the Camera: Let’s get candid: Nails will be continually camera-ready with a couple of coats of this sparkling playful plum. Picture-perfect nails are guaranteed as this polish’s glitter catches the light of the paparazzi’s flashes. Evoke the sophistication of Old Hollywood and say “glam” just before the shutter snaps!

Wheeee can’t wait to see them in person (especially Date Nights to the Twilight)

Misa What I Like About You Collection Fall 2010 Swatches & Review

What I Like About You is Misa’s new collection for fall 2010. I am VERY happy to say it’s not cremes this time, yay!! All six new colors are shimmery and absolutely gorgeous.

The application on these babies was great. Misa has their formula down I must say I hardly ever have issues with them. These flowed nicely, very smooth, no drag or pooling, and all were only two coats!

It’s You!

It’s You! is a deep green/grey duochrome that flashes pink and green. It’s a really cool color and pretty unique, I think. The duochrome effect isn’t really obvious, it’s pretty subtle, but definitely there. I am wearing it right now and indoors it does look like a charcoal grey with mild shimmer.

Misa Mardi Gras Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches & Review

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 is an apricot colored creme. This is a really nice color, but the application was a problem. This was two coats.

Misa I’m Only Human Collection Fall 2009

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.
