Saturday (Mainstream Polish) Spam

A break from guest posts with a random assortment of mainstream polishes I have swatched (some of these are like 8 months old lol, time is not my friend sometimes). Happy Saturday!

Misa Cosmetics Wednesday

Humpday y'all! I have a few Misa polishes I purchased a while back to share today. Transitioning into summer, the bulk of these may be too vampy for some but I like seeing these colors year around. There is a something about a jeweled toned vampy polish that works anytime, but especially when wearing nubs. I purchased my Misa polishes from Transdesign but they can also be purchased from Misa directly as well as by searching eBay and Amazon.

Misa Bourbon on the Rocks

Two coats

Part of the Winter 2012 High Society Collection

Blackened copper metallic shimmer

Dark and with just enough of a orange tone to make me lust after it.

Misa Eye Candy

Two coats

Part of the Fall 2013 Blink of an Eye Collection 

Fire engine red shimmer

INTENSE. Absolutely adore this one. Not that I needed another red....but yeah I kinda do, especially when it looks like this.

Misa High Brow

Two coats

Part of the Fall 2013 Blink of an Eye Collection 

Blackened dark burgundy shimmer.

I would call this the perfect black cherry polish. It's got this shimmer that almost looks like it's a color shifting factor going on. Both High Brow and Eye Candy dry to a matte finish but topcoat adds shine and brings out the shimmer.

Misa Let's Go Green

Two coats

Neon lime green with gold shimmer

I don't know what collection this is a part of, I was just browsing Misa's website and it grabbed my attention. I know, completely different then the other three but come on, do you blame me? It's bright as can be and the shimmer gives it that extra oomph. (ignore the smudge pinkie please!)

Comparison between Misa Let's Go Green and China Glaze Limonyte

After I received Let's Go Green, I thought that it looked very similar to Limonyte and had to compare the two, considering how rare Limonyte is. They are not dead on dupes but pretty darn close. Limonyte's golden shimmer is more prevalent and Let's Go Green is just a tad brighter. If you were on the hunt for Limonyte and can't track it down, consider Let's Go Green as a close enough alternative.

It's Friday! Random Spam

Yay! First Friday of the summer, which means the start of cool drinks, long weekends, hot days and night, and lots of fun. Officially, summer doesn't start until a couple of weeks but here in Texas, when it starts to hit 99 degrees, it's summer. Here is a rando assortment of spam to start us off right.

Misa Life Without Knowing and Frozen in Time

Here are two more from the Misa Wanderlust collection. Life Without Knowing is an dusky taupe with pink/gold shimmer. Honestly, I wanted something more from this color, though I can't say exactly what. It does serve as a perfect base for a very special polish which I will show here soon.

Frozen in Time is a lavender purple with pink shimmer. I took the photos in full sunlight so you can see that beautiful shimmer. 

Misa Life Without Knowing and Frozen in Time (along with the rest of the Wanderlust collection) can be found on Misa's website or Transdesign. 

Misa Epiphany

My Transdesign haul was delivered last Friday with the fall 2012 Misa Wanderlust collection included. And the first one I had to try on was Epiphany. It is a light yellow with shimmery flecks throughout the polish. I don't own many yellow polishes since the color doesn't always go so well with my skin tone. This one looks great though, more a neutral, very pale yellow and those flecks of gold glitter in it make Epiphany an eye-catching color.
