NYX Girls-Pop Culture and Misa-Endless Keys

The last of my NYX Girls polishes for a long while. Pop Culture is a medium orange, red leaning creme with a little bit of gold shimmer. And when I say little I mean little. Small, tiny, miniscule. Whatever word you want to see. I think it's supposed to do that whole hidden shimmer thing, but it doesn't work. Honestly, I'd rather they had just kept it as a creme. You almost can't tell the difference anyway.

I used two thick coats this time and I didn't have any coverage issues, but it took a bit longer to dry then my others. Still, wasn't that bad. It went on great as well. Nice and even and I had no issues with the formula. This is two coats btw. I think for me what's most disappointing is the shimmer. If you're going to do it, do it full out so we can see it. Or at least enough where we can tell. Unless you're under a direct light source and you look hard (and I mean HARD) you're not really going to see it here. So what's the point?

I had Misa Endless Keys from their current summer collection just sitting there and since Pop Culture wasn't doing it for me by itself I thought I'd add a layer of this to my mani.

Bingo! Now, I probably could have done two coats, but I love the look of one. You can see the flakies/glitter without it be overwhelming. It gives it the glittering look without it being the only thing you can see. Since Endless Keys isn't just orange and gold flakies/glitter in clear polish (the polish is light orange) it did change the look of Pop Culture a bit. Made it a bit lighter which I love. It looks all tangeriney and ready for summer goodness.

So that's it. Not much more to say. I love the look of both Pop Culture and Endless Keys together. It's summer for me. I just wish Pop Culture was better all by itself.

  2. You're right...Endless Keys made this much better!!! Where can you purchase misa polishes? I've heard of them, but never seen them around.

  3. I purchase Misa polishes online-Transdesign and Head to Toe Beauty. I don't know if 8ty8 Beauty has them but it can't hurt to look. I have no idea if there are other e-tailers, but those are the ones I use and I have nothing but good things to say about all of them. Quick shipping, got all my stuff in perfect shape. I order most from TD because they're in Georgia and I'm in SC so when they ship I get it in like a day. But my last order (these Misa polishes plus a few China Glazes I haven't worn yet) I got from Head to Toe and I was impressed. I think my next online purchase may be from them.
