Misa Eye Candy

I have been ill. I am currently having the demons purged from my being. *kisses container of antibiotics*

I got a few Misas when they were having their December sale. Eye Candy is from the Blink of an Eye Fall 2013 collection. I bought it based on the bottle shot on the site, and I was very pleased with what I received. This is actually a matte/satin finish polish, but not your basic boring matte. This is a fantastic and complex matte polish.

This is 3 coats, but you could get away with 2 for sure.

 With topcoat

I also got High Brow from the Blink of an Eye collection, and it seems to have the same finish. I will be swatching this one next. Misa can be purchased on the Misa site for $7.50 each. When they had their sale, I was happy to find that they allowed their free shipping to Canadians as well which has made me much more eager to buy from them in the future, providing it wasn't some technical glitch. Who wants to pay shipping these days? Not I!

China Glaze - Eye Candy

Hello! I have some glitter for you :)

I was really crap about swatching these. I have the time crunch going on, and I don't really know what these are going to look like until I upload them. Again, I apologize for stray fluffs, stray glitter, wonky cleanup etc. I was not consistant. Some of these are swatched over another colour. I will mention that. Some also have topcoat on them while some do not. Anyhoo! Onward and upwards.

I bought this specifically to go underneath Blonde Bombshell. I didn't have a yellow gold like this one. I really do not love it, but it serves its purpose. This is 3 coats no topcoat. It is a yellow gold with silver glitter randomly throughout which you would not notice unless you looked with macro eyes.

Champagne Bubbles

This is 1 coat of Blonde Bombshell over Champagne Bubbles. I think layering most of these polishes is the way to go. They need 3 coats for opacity for the most part, or you can put 1 coat over a base colour and have far easier removal.

Blonde Bombshell

This is 3 coats. Teensy wee black microglitter with bigger holo glitter. I did put topcoat on this one. Gritteh.

Some Like It Haute

3 coats. I don't think I put topcoat on this one. Not sure exactly what is going on with my fingers in these pics.. This was not the last polish I swatched! Fingers are looking haggard either way ;)

Material Girl

Lorelei's Tiara. I love this one. The first 2 pictures are 3 coats no base coat no topcoat. The last picture is 1 coat over Billie Silver which is a standard silver foil. It also includes an accent nail of Orly Stone Cold which in hindsight I should have topped with Absolutely Alice.

This one I popped over Sapphire In The Snow. I do not know why I bother putting that one back in the box. I use it under everything! Need.. backup.. 1 coat no top coat in these shots.

Marry A Millionaire

Last but not least I have Love Marilyn. This is 3 coats. No base coat. I think I used topcoat.

Love Marilyn

Here is a comp for Ataractic. This is 3 coats each of Gettin' Miss Piggy With It and Love Marilyn. Similar but not at all the same. Also, GMPWI is far less opaque, definitely a layering polish.

Thanks for looking!
