Misa - Like it Like That

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend! Here in Toulouse it finally started to get warmer after 2 weeks of constant temperatures bellow zero!... i'm not going to bother you again with my poor avocado-tree that got frozen after a night outside at -10°C because I feel so guilty!!... :) So I'll get to the polish now ;)

Today I'll be showing you the only Misa nail polish in my collection. I think it is a very nice colour, while I find it very difficult to wear and to match my accessories or outfits.
This polish is a blueish emerald green, with a very surprising mix between frost and shimmery finish. The shimmer gives it a very nice golden sparkle when the light hits it and it is so shiny! It is very spectacular without being neon or glitter.
The formula for this one is good, but the only thing that bothers me a little are the brush strokes traces... This is my only negative point for this one, but I guess it's only a personal opinion, some people may totally ignore it and like the polish for what it is!
The drying time is correct. 

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Misa - Like It Like That, no top coat.
Note that the colour is actually a bit greener in reality than my pictures show it. Very hard to capture!

Thank you everyone for watching!

OPI - Sapphire in the Snow

Hello everyone,

This has been a very busy week for me, working late and everything... And it's so cold outside, and it seems to me that it's going to last forever... Lost my little avocado-tree because of the freezing weather - well, ok, ok, I  know its' my fault I didn't bring it inside before it got completely frozen...  oh, well, enough with my talk! Let's get to the polish I'd like to show you today: OPI Sapphire in the Snow! Gorgeous!

I know this is another oldie, but I've got quite a few in collection ;) From the swatches I've seen on different blogs I think last OPI fall collection Road House Blues is very similar to this one.

It's an indigo cream, in some lights is more blue than purple, in other light i' more purple than blue. I just love complex colours like this. The application is very good, and you'll certainly need 2 coats to get it fully opaque - some perfectionists would like maybe 3.The drying time is correct.

As I'm far from being a perfectionist (while I do like things well done), I only did 2 coats, and I guess it came out pretty OK (except a little bald spot on my ring nail - thank you for ignoring :-) ).

And again in the sun

I don't know what's wrong with me, 'cause I've been so much into glitter layering lately... so I've added a coat of OPI Last Friday Night on top of my middle and ring nails:

In conclusion:

Application: 4.5/5
Formula: 3.5/5
Finish: 4/5
Drying time: 4/5
Opacity: 3.5/5

Overall: 3.9/5

Thank you everyone for watching!

OPI - It's Totally Fort Worth It

Hello everyone,

A quick post for today to celebrate my new net-book (my desktop is totally out of service and unfortunately lots of my pictures are still trapped on its hard-disk )!  Oh, well, it's a small, inexpensive laptop... Not exactly what I wanted, but that'll do it until I get something bigger and better: a desktop :) But that's all right, I don't regret buying this one because I'm sure it will be a great travel companion after all.
And luckily,  I have some drafts saved in my posts. So, until I receive my command of an adapter ATA -USB for hard-disks, I'll post the stuff I already uploaded in my drafts!

So today I'll be showing you another "last year"! It's OPI It's Totally Fort Worth it, from the Texas collection released for the spring in 2011.
This polish is got a cute gray-ish silvery base with this really nice pink shimmer, it's also got a very beautiful pearly finish ... but it is incredibly sheer! What you see in the pictures bellow is actually 4 coats!
I don't know about you, but me, I simply can't handle polishes that require 4 coats in order to get a bit opaque. I 'm sure that I'm not going to wear them because I cruelly lack spare time... And yes, 4 coats and still got VNL...! Too bad. 
The drying time is surprisingly good even with 4 coats.

I tried to do a Konad design using OPI Ski Teal We Drop, but it failed. So I added a coat of OPI DS Coronation on top of the mess :) and here is the result:

Oh well, too bad for this polish, but this makes the waiting for OPI Holland even harder!!! :D
They said it will be available in stores about middle of February... gna gna gna! ;D Can't wait! ;)

So, until then, let's see the conclusions about OPI It's Totally Fort Worth it:

In conclusion:

Application: 3/5
Formula: 1.5/5
Finish: 3/5
Drying time: 4.5/5
Opacity: 1/5

Overall: 2.6/5

Thank you everyone for watching!

Hugs!
