MISA ~ Hot people like you


MISA ~ Hot people like you
A neon pink crème

and

Klean Color ~ My Valentine
A clear jelly with purple glitter and larger multicoloured hexagons

MISA ought to be a bigger and more well known brand than they appear to be, in my opinion. They make a good product.

I haven’t tried a MISA that didn’t apply smoothly, and “Hot people like you” is no exception. Here’s two coats:



I had already decided to apply some glitter to it, and I went with Klean Color’s “My Valentine”, mostly because of the purple glitter in it, which I though would go very well with the neon pink.

I was wrong though: 


The glitter actually disturbed the scene, and made it look messy to me. I was not pleased with the result at all.

To the rescue with a crackle – I added a coat of Burst Crackle’s “Violet Flame”. I like it a little bit better, but it’s definitely not a manicure I’ll do again. :D



Bear with me, please. I promise that my next mani will be better! :D

Burst Crackle ~ Violet Flame

Burst Crackle ~ Violet Flame
A violet crackle with shimmer

This is far the easiest crackle I’ve ever worked with. Forget about OPI, China Glaze and Color Club. This formula is much smoother, applies a lot easier and crackles way nicer!

I applied it over China Glaze’s “Senorita Bonita”, and that gave it this pretty and subtle look.



I’m actually wearing nine layers of polish on the picture:

1 layer of base coat
2 layers of China Glaze “Senorita Bonita”
1 layer of Seche Vite Top Coat
1 layer of Northern Lights holographic top coat
1 layer of Burst Crackle, Violet Flame
2 layers of Northern Lights holographic top coat, applied by mistake (read more below…)
1 layer of Seche Vite Top Coat

The reason for the extra 2 layers of Northern Lights holographic top coat was that I mistook the bottle for that of my Seche Vite. I didn’t understand why it didn’t apply the way it usually does, and it took two whole coats of confusion before I realized my mistake! :D
