Misa Wander Lust Collection (Swatches & Pictures)

I was so very excited to get to try a brand that is new to me this week- Misa!  Today I am showing you their "Wander Lust" collection that came out for Fall this year. This collection is comprised of 6 beautiful colors- one of them broke in transit to me (sad face), but here are the others!

 Epiphany is a cool toned khaki-gold shimmer polish. I don't own a single polish like it! So pretty and unique.  (3 layers of polish shown):

Then, there's Living Without Knowing, a dark taupe brown with a gold flecky shimmer.  Such a gorgeous neutral!  (2 layers of polish shown):

 Next is Taking Chances, which may be my favorite from this collection. Unique burnt orange with gold shimmer sparkle. (2 layers of polish shown):

Then we have Lost To The World, a chocolatey brown with a subtle shimmer that dries super shiny. (2 layers of polish shown here):

And lastly we have Frozen In Time, a deep periwinkle polish with a violet flash- so pretty! (2 layers of polish shown):

Here's a bottle shot of Breakaway, (fitting name?!) the one that didn't make it. A very pretty purple that was slightly darker in real life (compared to how it photographed here):

Bottom line: Misa makes a fabulous product. I cannot believe that I have not tried them before.  Each formula was excellent and the brushes were great, coming together to make application an absolute breeze.  I highly recommend this brand!  Check out their website, http://www.misacosmetics.com/.  I will be featuring them again later on this week, so check back for that review!

Illamasqua "Charisma" Nail Polish (Pictures)

Today I am wearing a pretty special polish.  What makes it so special, you may ask? First, this is the very first Illaasqua polish that I have ever tried. Second, it was given to me by my dear friend Tara (Polishyoftruth.com <--check out her blog if you haven't already!).  From the moment I saw a glimpse of this beautiful polish when it was first launched this fall, I knew I had to have it. 

"Charisma" is a  raspberry-wine-magenta color, with a fine golden shimmer coursing through it.  It's rich, deep color is dark, but not too vampy. This is an absolute perfect polish for those who don't want to wear red (me) during the holiday season- it's so festive and velvety:

Honestly, this is just perfect.  You need it. The color absolutely GLOWS! The formula was excellent; not too thick or thin, and covered completely in just 2 easy layers.  Illamasqua polishes are available at Sephora!

Pomegranate Nail Lacquer: Cuddles

I had the pleasure of trying a nail polish from Pomegranate Nail Lacquer's new Fall collection- "Cuddles" is described on their website as a "romantic dusty rose shimmer for laid-back and lovely moments". I love this description and I love this color!

This was just 2 layers of polish. The formula was stellar- very easy to work with.  I think "Cuddles" is the perfect shade for Fall; it reminds me of foliage. You can purchase Pomegranate Nail Lacquer from their website here. The colors are limited edition, so get yours while they are still available! They have some great holiday gift sets available as well!  I cannot wait to add many more Pomegranates to my collection

What do you think of this shade?  Have you tried Pomegranate yet? Do you love things that are named after food as much as I do?
