Isadora Graffiti Pink Bite

The last two weeks I've totally ignored my nails. A crazy work load can do that even to a polish fanatic. Last week, I sported two coats of Misa Honeybunch. That really is the perfect polish if you have no time at all for nails, it just keeps going. I blogged about it earlier in this post.

By the end of the week it did look a little under the weather. I added a third coat, dried it completely and topped it with one of my new Isadora Graffiti polishes, Pink Bite. This is my first experience with crackle polish and I'm impressed. Seche Vite as top coat.



This pictures are taken on day 6 of the crackle manicure. I know the manicure has chipped a bit but I wanted to show you anyhow, since the crackle effect actually hides the chipping very well if seen from a distance.

Obviously, this must be the new favorite trend for lazy girls like me!

The Woman on the Verge..

...to something new!

*whispers*
Ladies, guess what, tomorrow I'm going on my first date with someone "not husband" in 20 years!
Yes, of course I choose the polish just for the name :-)

This is Misa For the Woman on the Verge. 3 coats over Nubar Foundation. No top coat, it is so shiny and lovely without so I just skipped the top coat. I never do that, but Misa makes me do unusual things.

The color is a dusty mauve with quite a strong shimmer in it. But there is something else going on there too. Look at the second picture, there is some multicolored micro glitter! You can't see this with the naked eye, but it makes the color much more interesting. It has a secret, just like the woman on the verge..



The more Misa polishes I try, the more I love them. Perfect brush, good formula and interesting colors. The polish does take some time drying and I did make a small dent on my ring finger hurrying to get sun pictures. But with a little licking it's almost invisible again. (that's right, the tongue is the poor womans Orly Smudge Fixer ;-D )

As a totally unexpected bonus, this polish is a perfect match to my camera. Look here!

Stop Rewinding, Just Fast Forward!

Because that is were I'm going!

This is a gorgeous Misa polish. I am very often happy with my Misa's and this is one of the times.. :-D

This is a creme polish, very bright but not a neon because it dries very shiny. It is a red bordering on orange, and if you would've asked me before I tried it, I would've gotten the thumbs down. I believe I got it in a swap, and as such, since I only swap dupes, all new colors are good colors (within reason..)

This is two coats and no top coat but if you are careful it is a potential one-coater. Being a bright red color, that is amazing! I always use a top coat but this polish dried so fast and shiny I didn't need one!

Meh, was I wrong letting this polish stay among my untrieds!! This is just amazing, it goes very well with my skin tone and changes color like a chameleon. Now it's orange, now it's red, now it's berry.. Love it!

Misa Foxy & Folksy

This weeks mani was really a surprise polish! I picked it out Sunday evening, in the lamp light it looked like a light brown, bronze colour with a slight lavender iridescence. It looked the same in the bottle as it did on my nails, and I went to bed content with my neutral manicure.

I commute quite a distance by car every day, and I have to start early, so come Monday morning I went on my merry way. Halfway to work, the sun rose, and I started staring at my polish. It was no longer a work safe neutral with a little twist, it was now a lilac bordering on purple!

Oh, well, I guess I cannot hide my true polish self from my work mates any more. I really like this polish, it gives the word duochrome a whole new meaning.

A Craving for Sugar Sugar!

Preparing for a new week, that means a new almost not there polish. This is my only polish from the Misa Sugar Sugar collection. It is Honeybunch.
I bought it after a fellow blogger, Misa Polish, had expressed her happiness with it, using it during final exams when she really did not have the time for a manicure. It’s been sitting quietly in my Helmer ever since, awaiting my attention. This is two coats over a base, CG Fast Forward as top coat.
This polish was a really nice surprise. It’s not fantastic looking in the bottle, and it’s hard to take a photo that really shows it to its advantage. As you can see, it is a sheer whitish shimmer, doesn’t look very noticeable in dim light. But if it catches the sun, you’ve got Bling City on your nails!
I surely got cravings for more Sugar Sugar after trying Honeybunch. The rest of the collection is now firmly secured on my lemming list.
