If you haven't seen my review of Illamasqua Venous yet, check it out here.

Misa Dirty Sexy Money, Illamasqua Venous, Barielle Sweet Addiction




green nail polish creme comparison
2 coats of each

No dupes here! Misa Dirty Sexy Money is similar, but it's not as vibrant and has a touch more green than Illamasqua Venous. Barielle Sweet Addiction's difference are obvious.



I'd say they are different enough to own all three, but if I had to choose one, it would definitely be Illamasqua Venous.

This has been out since Spring, but I guess they are officially releasing it with the Autumn/Winter collection. This is great for those who missed out on it the first time around!









No More Waity Katie is an interesting polish. It's a sheer smoky grey with bright lavender glitter. I layered a coat of NMWK over Misa Office Polish-tics because I just didn't care for the swatches I'd seen of NMWK on its own. Here's Office Polish-tics by itself in case you're wondering:






1 coat




Yep, it's that pigmented and awesome in just one coat. Many of my favorite one-coaters are by Misa. I love this shade so much! It's one of the few polishes I've worn several times.





In other news, today is my birthday! It does't really count because 23 is a nothing age, but I'm going to treat myself to a couple Lippmanns, I think. :)

108 Degrees is a bright pink with fuchsia flecked shimmer. I feel like I have a lot of shades like this, so I wasn't super excited when I put it on. The formula is thin yet not runny. The brush on mine was super wonky, so I didn't have fun applying this!










T-B: 108 Degrees, Misa Summer Love, 108 Degrees. 3 coats each.





There are only subtle differences between Summer Love and 108 Degrees. Summer Love is a touch warmer, and the shimmer is larger. That's about it.






Not the most unique color but still a great choice for summer!

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!

Pixie Princess is a peachy pink with silver and pink shimmer. Soft shades like this make me happy. It's soft and subtle, yet interesting. I'm totally in love with the shimmer:










Gorgeous, huh? It dries to a satin finish, but I added topcoat to speed up the drying process. The formula has some flaws. It's thick and a little hard to work with, but it shouldn't be to bad if you apply it in thins coats and wait a little bit in between coats. The Wishes collection has totally renewed my appreciation for soft shades.

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
