Misa Double Dutch

Most of the time I would say last but not least, but... I can't really do that with this polish.  Misa Double Dutch is my least favorite polish from the Hot Summer Collection.Double Dutch is a lilac purple-pink and while it's a perfectly fine color, even pretty, I think I have decided that this is probably one of my least favorite colors out there. I just find that it doesn't excite me very much! It's a very soft and diminutive color, especially compared to the other bright colors in this collection. Also... I can't for the life of me figure out why this is named after jump-roping.

Double Dutch is  just like the other Misa polishes-- has a great formula. It was a little on the sheer side in the first coat, but I think that you could get away with two coats if you applied it carefully. I used three coats in my pictures and no top coat. I think this photographed slightly lighter than it appears in real life, but it's pretty close. You can even see how it can change between purple and pink in my photos.

See, it's very pretty! And yet... just kind of boring. I'm not inspired or thrilled by this. I wish it would be more purple or more pink-- not both! However, if this is the kind of color you love this has a great formula and it is super pretty.

    1. Thanks! It's not a bad color, it just doesn't really do much for me.

  2. I agree. I love the idea of this color and I think it looks really pretty on you but whenever I have colors like this, I am very bored by them!

    1. I think if it was a shade more purple I would love it... but it just doesn't excite me at all!

  3. It looks like a color you would wear to go with something. It is pretty but would jump out at you to wear.
