Today is a special day, so today's a day for a special polish. In honor of Leap Day, here's one of my very favorite old duochromes:
Misa Road Warrior. This is one of my favorite polishes of all time, and for good reason. Just look at it. It's awesome. It's a duochrome (yes, yes, multichrome, whatever) that's quite unlike most other duochromes. It starts off with a red/dark pink pearl flash against a greyed-looking taupe base, but then shifts through so many different and unexpected colors. Pink, mauve, grey, gold, a little green, orange, and finally a light beige/taupe putty shade. Beige in a duochrome. Definitely not something I've seen very often.
The formula is a little runny, the polish is pretty sheer and the dry time is long, but the color is really cool. I'm willing to put up with a long dry time and doing four coats if the color is interesting enough, and this one is. Also:

One of my fave multichromes or whatever as well!! Misa used to do some great ones back in the day. I would pinch myself if they came out with a collection of polishes like this, Foxy and Folksy, Decadent Drifter... Are you reading this, Misa?
ReplyDeleteYESSSSS! They had so many AMAZING colors. Maybe they'll come back one day :D
DeleteLove this color...looks nice on your skin too!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteIt actually does make me think of Mad Max/end of the world/dystopia. Kind of earthy with a little duochrome "chaos." Do I need mental help when I start thinking so much about a nail polish? Just don't tell my boyfriend I'm associating a movie he likes a lot with makeup, he'd kill me.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love you for that. I see it too. You're not the only one who over-analyzes colors like that ;-)
DeleteVery unique!! I like ;0).
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've seen another polish exactly like this one- love it so much
DeleteThis is a real beauty. I can see why it's one of your coveted favs.
ReplyDeleteStill holding out hope that companies start doing colors like this again soon- I need something more unique than all the plain colors coming out lately
DeleteThat looks frickin awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think so too :)
DeleteThat's one damn beauty! So is Mad Max. Loved those movies & haven't seen them in years. Mel Gibson when he was sexy hot!
ReplyDeleteRight?? Loved the costumes in those movies, too.
Deleteoh Misa.. Bring back the goodies!! No more cremes!!
ReplyDeleteHear, hear! I agree!

ReplyDeleteLove this multichrome on you!
ReplyDeleteGooooorgeous duochrome!! I wouldn't normally go for a colour like this but the duochrome effect makes it very pretty and different
