Misa - Paradise Shore (-1)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, my camera has been MIA and I was only able to take pictures yesterday.. so I took a boatload, enough for a few posts.

Today I have Misa's Paradise Shore collection (or most of them) to show you.

There is some pretty awesome glass fleck action going on in these!

L to R: Summer Love, Endless Keys, Under my Sunbrella, Mega Margarita, Krystal Waters

I'm only missing Mermaid Dreams, which is a dark blue.

Application was alright, Under my Sunbrella (isn't that such a cute name?) was fairly sheer and there was still VNL after 3 coats. I love the finish on these.

Overall, I like the brightness of this collection. The colours kind of remind me of the China Glaze summer collection, Summer Love especially reminds me of 108 Degrees. My favourites from this set are Mega Margarita (ooh, reminds me of that 2 for $8 margarita deal at a local Maxican restaurant) and Endless Keys (mm, juicy orange).

I'm also still waiting on my Cult Nails order, will try to post pics as soon as I get them (hopefully I will -someone else in this province had her order destroyed ><)

What are your fav summer polish picks?

tata for now,

Blood Orange Inspired Mani

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

I'll try to keep it short and sweet today, I decided to experiment with some of the new polishes I got from the last haul.

The colour combination reminds me of a blood orange, so I attempted to freehand an orange on my ring finger.
The orange turned out alright (passable for me!) but I love the combination!

I used China Glaze Heli-Yum (which is a dark raspberry pink), Misa's Endless Keys which is from the Paradise Shore summer 2011 collection, and a white nail art polish that smells like wall paint (gross!).

Sorry for the messy cleanup + dry hands, I had a lot of stuff to get done today!
The picture in the sun is the most accurate colour-wise, it is slightly more red!

What do you think? what are your favourite layering combos?

Ciao for now!
