Misa - Embroidered Emerald

Hi! Happy Monday :) Today I've got a swatch of something special I came across in a blog sale. A really old Misa!! Embroidered Emerald circa 2001. The smell of this took me right back to my childhood.. lol! It's also my only Misa.. really need more of these. Of the B3F kind! The formula was eh, pretty runny and kinda sheer/bald spotty after 3 coats.


                     
Embroidered Emerald is a very pretty dark plum with a strong emerald/teal shimmer.


This is 3 (albeit thin) coats.. looks like one!! lol, but pretty. 




Will reach for it again soon despite the application  :)

Illamasqua Load + .... crackle.

Hi! Happy Friday! Today I have Illamasqua - Load. A creamy pastel off white.. milky yellow.. hm. Illamasqua likes a risque name. LOL. I love this color, it is pretty difficult to apply as you'd expect. Particularly when you are as impatient as I and refuse to wait between coats! Came out okay though. I slapped some crackle on it for some reason.. felt like a nice springy combo and giving my crackles some love!



3 coats w. top coat



and with China Glaze Broken Hearted


Do you still use your crackles?

P.S. Don't forget to enter my 50 follower giveaway! If you have any problems entering let me know, I've seen the rafflecopter on a few blogs seemed to be the easiest set up for it :)
