Misa 9-5 Bottle & Nail Wheel Pictures

I ordered Misa's newest collection, 9-5 on Sunday, and they just arrived! No real swatches yet, but I wanted to get a quick look at them so I swatched them on nail wheels for now. Quick service, a nicely packaged display box that holds one polish, and a free bottle of their Top Topper Quick Dry Top Coat! My initial thought when I first saw the promo pictures last week was that I was only going to order 2 shades. So much for first thoughts!

Below: L-R photographed under indoor lighting, no flash: Blush Hour, Pay Days are Happy Days, Paint My Nails @ Work, Working Hard or Hardly Working, Coffee Pick Me Up, Office Polish-tics.

Below: With a flash.
Below: With an Ott lamp, no flash.

I've said it before and here I am saying it again, but if you haven't tried Misa, their formula is one of the best ones out there. While this color palette does have some similar shades available in other brands--Coffee Pick Me Up is very close to China Glaze Channelesque or its dupe in Anchors Away, Below Deck, and surely there's an Essie dupe for Blush Hour--you would be hard-pressed to find a dupe with a formula as fine as Misa.

Real swatches tomorrow!

    from the prom pics I thought the darkest one was a charcoal grey. I see that it's really a dark blue :)

    Pretty colours, you're right about Misa's formula; I've never had issues with it.

    From the bottle picture I wasn't at all thrilled by this collection. Now that I see the nail wheel I want them all. Mary you temptress!

    I wasn't thrilled with this collection from the PR release, but man those nail wheel pictures are gorgeous. Can't wait to see them on your nails!

    Do you mind my asking where you ordered these polishes? I'm trying to find a website that will ship them to Canada. Thanks! :)

    Awesomeness!!

    I really love Misa, too!

    I think I overlook it in favor of Zoya, and I hope they can get on the ball and kick some bunz on those crazy cool Zoya colors!

    Soooo pretty! I agree with the others who commented that they weren't thrilled by the bottle pics but the color wheel made the difference. Can't wait for your swatches! Pretty sure that I'll be purchasing the entire collection.

    ah, they are soo pretty! I can't wait for "real" swatches ;) I'm afraid I'm gonna need them all :(
    they are just so perfect, two are little bit edgy, the rest is totally work appropriate, and though I'm a turquoise, sky-blue, green and purple lover (I really am :-D) - sometimes I want nude colors on my nails, quiet colors or "job-interview"-colors *g*
    Misa is great.
    Does anyone know when these will be available?
