I love me some Misa!

 They have my very most favorite bottle for a few reasons.  The thing I love most about the bottle is the sound it makes when the handle taps against the glass when you reload the brush. It sounds like crystal wine glasses clinging together.  When you hear that sound each time you dip the brush into the polish bottle it just screams quality.  The bottle design is also spectacular.  It has clean lines but still a subtle detailing around the bottom of the base.  Pair this with the long tapered handle and it makes the design look ever so elegant, while also adding the benefit of control during use.   I also love that the handle has has weight to it, as does the bottle itself.  Misa did it right when they designed their bottles right down to the font they used for the lettering on the front. I am down right smitten with them.

As if the bottle was the only thing to love about Misa. Have you ever applied a Misa creme?  I can't even explain it to you if you haven't. I wont do it justice.  I love Misa polishes overall but their CREMES! OMG their cremes...Did I mention their cremes???  They are almost never two coaters.  One coat almost always does it and the finish and dry time rival and IMO beat out the big dawgs such as RBL.  let's just say they are a severely underrated brand to say the VERY FREAKING LEAST.  

Here are a few samplings of gorgeous Misa cremes.  These are all one coat and as always the long handle made the application effortless.
The whole point of this post wasn't to butter up Misa, it just kinda ended up that way by mistake.  My original point was to tell you guys that I hauled Misa yesterday.  Oh good lawd, did I ever haul. That is all. 

Love, MM

Break me off a piece-a Misa!

These 10 polishes were my first Misas and WOW. It's hard to enjoy how wonderful they are and not focus on how retarded I am for waiting so long to try them. I got all cremes minus one shimmer because I just have way too many shimmers. But, it's a dark blue shimmer, so it's ok. Dark blue shimmers will never have a limit imposed on their numbers as long as I'm captain of this crazy train!

And here she is. My sin worth committing. After all I did break my "no more shimmers you freak you never wear them" rule I imposed on myself to buy this polish. And Misa, I have to agree, totally worth it. Quick question- after seeing this swatch do you even CARE how many coats? I wouldn't. But if you do the answer is two.


I am a creme addict. I admit it, embrace it, and I'll even shout it from the rooftops if you don't believe me. The funny thing is, or should I say STUPID thing is, about a month ago I was digging through my polishes and realized a horrible truth. I had exactly 7 cremes. This isn't the horrible truth I was referring to though. It's a tragedy yes, horrible truth, no. The horrible truth of the creme drought in my stash is that I am a swatch zombie. Yep, I said it outloud. I see a pretty picture of a polish online and mindlessly buy it like some sort of robotic, acetone soaked, credit card-cash bot. Shimmers, glitters and duochromes just look so PRETTY in swatches. They look so unique and exotic and must-have-now-ish. I just don't really, actually, like to wear them. Whoops.



Since my true love is for cremes and jellies I have decided it's time to rip the shimmer IV out of my arm and join the world of the non swatch zombies. Let me tell you, it rules dude. It totally rules. Observe-

You're right again Misa. I can't. But guess what? I don't think I want to. 

I forgot I had this polish in my basket I took with me to visit my 9 year old step daughter...Ha! Of course she had to wear it and repeat the name constantly. I even let her do her own swatch of it. 

Yeah, I'm cool like that.

Meh.


Oh, man. This is a perfect blue creme. Its so silky smooth. This was at the very top of my wish list for quite some time. And now I have it Muahahahahaha!


This one was just ok for me. It's really close to China Glaze VII but a little less purpley red. 

Totally freaking gorgeous blood red jelly.

I really like this one sheer like this. It matches my skin perfectly, plus even though its sheer at 2 coats it still manages to hide my highlighter yellow stained nails.

Here it is at 3 coats. Still very pretty.

Love this.

Oooooh neon jelly. Break me off a piece a that! This is 3 coats if I remember correctly. All other swatches are 2 coats unless otherwise noted.
