Misa NOTD: Flipped

No, the polish is not called Flipped (although I think that sounds like something that could be a cool color - anyone know a polish actually with this name?), I have flipped the colors around from my last mani because I couldn't get the idea out of my head otherwise:

Misa Chocolate Icing Konaded with Misa Ghetto Fabulous & plate m62. Obviously Ghetto Fabulous looses a little bit of it's bling factor going over such a dark color, but I like it. This is one of my favorite Konad tips, it reminds me of fire.

I ran into what I at first thought was application problems using this color for Konad. It can leave kind of a glittery golden residue on the rubber stamper, even after cleaning, and some of my nails pre-top coat looked almost a little dusty, and the gold looked slightly dull. But, the good news, both these issues pretty much disappeared after a coat of Seche Vite. Excuse the little lumps, had some other application issues on my thumb but this was the only finger left when I decided I wanted a pic pre-Seche:



Overall, I think I like this version of this color combo a little better. Maybe it says something about my mood as of late that the other one was just a bit too bright and happy for me at the moment.

Thanks for reading.

  2. I like this one, but you know me, I prefer the brighter, blingier, in your face combo from the other day. I mean really, a less blingy, in your face Ghetto Fabulous? I think not!! lol :)

    NIXXY - Thanks!

    CLOCKWORK - Thanks!

    BROOKE - Maybe when used as Konad I could rename it Ghetto Pretty Nice? LOL I was actually surprised it worked as well as it did over such a dark base.

    NESSA - ♥ Seche Vite. It fixes a multitude of errors.

    LUCY - I miss the sun already. After a wonderful weekend nature had the never to give us SNOW today. Granted, it didn't stick, but the flakes put my in a bad mood.

    VELVET - Thanks!

  6. Misa has some great polishes! I really need to get my kitten paws on a few more. I don't even want to take off the color I'm wearing now. It's been on since Sunday and not a chip in sight. No dulling whatsoever. Awesome!

    This one you have on is so sassy! I love it!

  7. THE PBG - I got my 12 during the Scrangie-promotion back in January, but there are still a lot of colors I would love to have. I've been really impressed with their formula, you're right it wears like iron.
