Glitter Sandwich!

Misa's "A Sin Worth Committing"

 Gets a little more special with some glitter sandwiched in the middle.

 One thin layer of A Sin Worth Committing, one layer of Afternoon Picnic which is suspended in a sort of clear-teal base.

 That's one layer of Afternoon Picnic there on my thumb.

 I love how this turned out!

Minty Fresh Comps

China Glaze "For Audrey" vs. Zoya "Wednesday" vs. Wet-n-Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pointer Finger: For Audrey

Middle Finger: Wednesday

Ring Finger: I Need A Refresh-Mint

Pinky: For Audrey

 The picture makes For Audrey and Refreshmint, look closer than they actually are in real life. Wednesday is a a bit dusky blue/green.

For Audrey leans more blue while the Wet-n-Wild leans more minty green. Wednesday isn't a dupe for either of them.

Verdict: I need all three.
If I had to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild, because the brush is horrific!

While I was comping these, it occurred to me that the Zoya might be a dupe for Misa's "Dirty Sexy Money" so I went and dug out my bottle of it which I haven't seen in probably two years. It needed some shaking, that's for sure.

Pointer and Ring: "Dirty, Sexy, Money"

Middle and Pinky: Zoya "Wednesday"

 Definitely not dupes either. The Misa is quite a bit darker.

Verdict: Love them both.
If I had to get rid of one: Misa, the formula is sucky and it takes forever to dry.

Misa - Toxic Seduction

I have heard a lot about this green. It's not bad, but I am not all that excited about it. it applied really well though. This is two coats. There's a deep shimmer to it, but it's still subtle. It's pretty but I find Misa polishes take forever to dry! Even with Seche Vite. Wear has been pretty good.

Seriously Slacking

I know I've been slacking lately. I've still been taking photos, just been too lazy to put them up.
But, here's what I've been up to:


Orly, Cashmere Cardigan
Loved this! Very shiny. Pretty lavender/periwinkle type color.
It chipped a little quicker than I would have liked, but I still loved it.


This was Misa "On the Edge" with LA Girl Flare Platninum Record over it. It was a lot prettier in person than I could capture on film. I promise. It also wore insanely well AND was a breeze to remove. Pretty crazy!

Before the glitter. Really cool blue color. Unfortunately, I only got an indoor shot.

And then there was China Glaze - Wagon Trail. A really gorgeous deep-olive greenish color. Unfortunately, I broke/chipped one of my nails down really low while wearing this and had to chop them all down. Boo.

Blue Creams

Misa "On the Edge", Essie "Mesmorize" Orly "Calypso Breeze", Essie "shelter island" and Essie "Greenport"

Ah...I remember a time when I didn't have any blue nail polish. What a sad, colorless life it was. Fortunately I have ramped up my little collection...

Misa - Heartbreak

This is the first Misa polish I have ever worn. I thought it was more work-acceptable, which is why I chose it over Fatal Affair, A Sin Worth Committing and some other beauties.

This is such an interesting color! It's greyish, but it's got this amazing lavendar/purple shimmer to it, so you can' really tell what color it is!

I had some tipwear at the end of the day. Most noticeable on my index finger. But I am not sure if it's the result of me mixing B3F base coat with Misa and Seche Vite as a topcoat, so I don't want to blame it on the Misa.

I love this! Looking forward to trying the rest of my Misas!

Dark Glittery Blues

More goodies from my excessive TD haul!

Pinky - Index, OPI DS "Fantasy", Misa "A Sin Worth Committing", Orly "Bombay Sapphire" (actually I received this in a swap a few weeks ago) and Entity "Blue"

Entity Blue, Bombay Sapphire, A Sin Worth Committing and Fantasy.

Entity Blue, looks nothing like the pictures I saw on TD, but it's still pretty. As you can see none of these are dupes. Entity is slitghtly lighter and more shimmery than Bombay. Misa is lighter than both and Fantasy is it's own glorious shimmery blue. I can't decide which one to try first!
