Misa Paradise Shore Summer 2011 Swatches and Review
Misa Paradise Shore is the epitome of a Summer collection. Brightly colored and packed with shimmer. Sign me up!
2 coats
Endless Keys is a bright orange (tangerine?) with gold, flecked shimmer. Congrats, Misa. You made an orange I actually want to wear.
2 coats
What's that? Yeah, I'll wait a moment while you grab your sunglasses.
Krystal Water is a blinding teal shimmer. It glows like NO OTHER! Well, actually it glows like another polish in this collection.
3 coats
Accurately named, Mega Margarita is a cheery green with gold, flecked shimmer. This is what I was hoping BL Dosh would look like. So cute!
2 coats
Mermaid Dreams is an ocean blue shimmer. Like Krystal Water, it glows like crazy.
2 coats
Summer Love is a hot pink with fuchsia, flecked shimmer.
2 coats
Under My Sunbrella is a Sunny D yellow with gold, flecked shimmer.
The formula on these was generally great. The only one I had a problem with was Mermaid Dreams. It was thick and a little stringy. I will definitely have to add a few drops of thinner in this one. I also experienced a bit of bubbling on the flecked shimmers.
I love this collection! It makes me happy. The only shade I'm not happy with is Under My Sunbrella because it looks...gross. I have no idea who can wear it, but I definitely can't. Other than that, though, this is a collection I'm happy to have in my stash.
Stay tuned for comparisons!

This is a pretty collection, but I think I liked China Glaze's version of these colors better. More shimmer, you know?
ReplyDeleteAlso, ew at Under my Sunbrella.
I'm digging Endless Keys, Krystal Water, and Mermaid Dreams. Although I suppose I have enough blues in my collection.
ReplyDeleteLove Endless Keys, absolute fav ! But it seems to me that this collection is a ''deja-vu''.
ReplyDeleteEndless Keys, Mega Margarita and Summer Love are beautiful!
ReplyDelete*faints* This shade is gooooorgeous. I WANT!!
ReplyDeleteI can never ever get enough of these kinds of colors, thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteWow, great colours! I guess I'll be getting some Misa for the summer. :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the ChG collection in person yet, so I'll save my judgements for then. I am excited to get them, though!
ReplyDeleteEnough blues?! *does not compute* haha
ReplyDeleteIt does remind me of some things, but in shade and not finish. I don't have any that are super similar to these.
ReplyDeleteThey are really beautiful! I can see myself wearing Mega Margarita a lot this Summer. :)
ReplyDeleteWhich one!? lol
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I'm with you on that one. The moe brights, the better I say. ;]
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm much happier with Misa Summer than I was with Misa Spring.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like this collection. Alson, your nails are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over Krystal Water and Mermaid Dreams, so gorgeous. Krystal Water looks similar to Sally Hansen Spectrum.
ReplyDeleteSome of these look very yummy and squishy!
ReplyDeleteMmm...those look so yummy and pretty. I even like the yellows/oranges, which I normally wouldn't. *nibbles on your nails*
ReplyDeleteGotta love squishy nps!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on the nibbling, lol! They are all just really delicious looking shades. :)
ReplyDeleteDifferent finish, but yes I can definitely see a similarity in color.
ReplyDeleteMe again. :) Can I ask you for a comparison? I'm wondering how close Endless Keys and Orange Marmalade by China Glaze get ... do you have O.M., could you compare them please? Thanks! :)
