Misa Bare Necessities

I love Misa and have a large collection of their colors. I saw the Misa Bare Necessities collection on Head2Toe and was curious (which always gets me in trouble!) and since I hadn't heard anything about it I ordered them. See? Trouble! The collection consists of three sheer colors Love (red), Bliss (coral) and Truth (white). I ordered Love and Bliss but not Truth since I have no use for a white. Well, they should have labeled these as tints. They remind me of those Tinkerbell polishes for kids. They make my nails look like they have been dipped in jello. I have no idea what I am going to do with them. They were hard to work with and didn't go on evenly. I needed five coats to get an even color on the nail and the formula didn't seem to layer well. I suppose, since these are tints, too many layers is a no no.
I played with them and did a colorful french manicure. Eh. These just aren't for me but if you are looking for a polish that is a tint - these are perfect. Just don't do too many layers.
Bottle with Love on the left and Bliss on the right.
On the hand and from left to right - Bliss, Bliss with a colored tip, Love with a colored tip and Love. Bliss was really a sheer tint. It gave my nail a naked polished look - kind of like foundation for the nail. Love gives the nail a fruit punch look to the nail.
That is as naked as you will ever see my nails.

Wow, it reminds me of the stains you get on your counters after you make jello. o.o
It's a shame it doesn't go on evenly, it could do some neat black tip frenches.
Funny thing - I was just reading the Zoya blog, and they mentioned using their sheer polishes for layering over silver glitter. I also just bought a couple L'Oreal "water" polishes in a two-pack at the dollar store. So, I am right this moment in the middle of swatching my watery-sheer polishes over silver chunky glitter (Claire's), and WOW! It looks really cool! Synchronicity, maybe? Hope this helps!
PS: I just realized that your blog is featured in the same Zoya post - it was about the Zoya Glamsicles layered! ☺
Skulda - I think if I let it dry a bit between layers that may help but they are still sheer tints. Blah!
Sarah - I'm going to try that and see what happens. I was thinking these make work to franken with. Thanks for the tip!
