Pretty Serious Cosmetics - Seasonal Sunset

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Today I have my final polish I purchased from Pretty Serious's Christmas Without Snow collection - Seasonal Sunset. Hummina hummina hummina! WOWZA, BABY! I knew this was on my must-have list and I'm so glad I was proved right! If there's two three things that Pretty Serious knocks out of the ball park, it's red, green, and glitter. They remain the tops in my stash and true loves of polish!

Seasonal Sunset is a rusty red jelly based polish just BURSTING with copper and red irregular glitter. It burns from within! What an amazing polish with an equally amazing name! It's ON FIRE! I think this is a perfect holiday polish with a splash of sass! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! Formula, as we've all come to know and love from Pretty Serious, was perfection. This is three thin coats. 








Knocked me off my seat!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics - Hot Summer Nights

Good Morning!

I hope you're all having a great week so far! Work hasn't been nearly as crazy as it normally is, so I'm really grateful for that! Today I have another polish from Pretty Serious's Christmas Without Snow Collection, Hot Summer Nights. From the moment I first saw pics of the bad boy pop up on Kaz's blog I KNEW I had to get my hands on it! Hot Summer Nights is a deep, RICH navy jelly polish with gorgeous glitter swimming within! I love that starry nights polishes and I can gladly call this one of my favorites! The way the glitter peaks through is just so magical! Formula was a little thick but on point and was perfect after two coats. 








What do ya think? AMAZING RIGHT?!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics - Santa's Sunburn AKA MY NEW FAVORITE POLISH EVER!

I almost don't know how to give this polish the introduction it deserves.

I own more polish than I can count. (really. I don't know how many I have! I started a spread sheet but never finished it!) I have many polishes that make my heart flutter, and for the longest time my all-time favorite polish was RBL Bikini Bottom. Everything I though I knew changed when I got this bad boy in the mail from Pretty Serious Cosmetics. My mind was blown in ways I didn't know were possible. I love red polish SO SO SO SO much! I used to despise it, but the more I got into polish the more I realized the sexiness of a great red. Santa's sunburn is everything I ever wanted a red polish to be. My photos don't do the brightness of this polish justice, it just blows you away! Add the sparkling shimmer?! When I got this on my nails I ran all over my apartment to see it in different lights giggling like a little school girl. This is a one-coater too! ONE-COATER! Formula was smooth as butter. Wore like iron. Yep, my favorite polish ever, people. And that's a crazy claim to make. <3







What's your favorite polish?!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics - Emma Louise

WHAT UP, LADIES?!

I hope you're all having a good week! Today I'm only working eight ours (not my normal ten!) so I'll take what I can get! Today I have another polish from Pretty Serious to share, Emma Louise. Kaz named this polish after her pal Emma who designed this bad boy! $5 a bottle will go to Cancer Council NSW (Australia) after the LE 300 bottles are sold. Beautiful polish for a beautiful cause! OMG OMG OMG Emma Louise is so awesome! As of now there's still a few left - if you don't have it GO NOW! 

This gem of a polish starts off with a purple sheer base, loaded with purple micro glitter, and thrown into the mix is green and purple hex glitter. I knew from the moment I saw promo pics I would be in love and I was RIGHT! Formula was sheer perfection, this is three thin coats.








Make sure to pick this gem up!

Pretty Serious - Gargoyle Ganache

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I hope you're all having a fantastic start to your weekend! I'm throwing a baby shower tomorrow, I hope it all goes well! 

Today I have my last polish I received from Pretty Serious's Monster Mash collection to share, Gargoyle Ganache. I still need to order the last two, but I'm holding off for a big order when they reveal their Christmas collection! Gargoyle Ganache is a complex creation indeed! I'm not surprised this bad boy sold out! It starts off as a smoky grey/purple base with strong duochrome colors flashes in the bottle and purple and green flakies that are brought out in the right light. This is two coats. It was a tad on the thick side, but it make for a nice opaque feel after just one coat. 











Have a great Friday, girls!

Pretty Serious - Mummy Mush

Hey girls!

I hope you're all having a good week! It's been up and down for me, one of our cars broke down so that sucked. BUT I have a long weekend so I can relax, catch up on TV, and swatch my little butt off! Onto the polish!

Today I have yet another Pretty Serious Monster Mash polish to share, Mummy Mush. This polish is just so delicate and complex that I caught myself staring at my nails in all different lightings! Mummy Mush is a crazy glass-flecked polish that shifts from gold to pink and EVEN a slight blue color shift as well! Alas, it was IMPOSSIBLE to capture but its there! Check out Kaz's post HERE - she shows it off spot-on! This really is my new go-to neutral. It was so EASY to build up the color, this is three coats. So delicate and pretty. 







Check out the bottle shots - really shows off that color shift!



Have a great Hump Day!

Pretty Serious - Nightmaren

What's up?!

Okay, okay I know I'm totally skipping back a collection, but I found these on my computer and had totally forgotten to post them! 

Nightmaren is from Pretty Serious's In The Night collection. Holy cow did Kaz hit a bullseye with is red! She and I both share the love of red polish, so it really came as no surprise to me that she would blow this out of the water! I wore this polish for almost a WEEK. Yep, a WEEK. I had a few minor chips, but instead of changing my polish I fixed em up. Like I said, a WEEK. :p

Nightmaren is a red polish with amazing golden shimmer that makes this both festive (Christmas red, really!) and sexy. Formula was buttery smooth, as we all know to come to expect from Pretty Serious. This is two coats. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

*PS - You'll have to excuse the blurriness, I realized all too late that my lens was smudged. Humph. 





Have a great day, ladies!

Pretty Serious - Liquid Leprechaun *Pic heavy!*

Happy Friday!

Today I have THE BEST GREEN GLITTER POLISH you will ever lay your pretty little eyes on! Kaz shares my passion for all things green polish, so when I saw the promo shots for Pretty Serious's Monster Mash collection and first laid eyes on Liquid Leprechaun I KNEW it had to be mine!  O.M.G. I am seriously dying over how much I am in love. *Drools everywhere*

Liquid Leprechaun is so complex and amazing I just don't know where to start! Many, many, many sizes of glitter, different tones of green, gold, and slight holo shimmer in a murky green base make this polish what it really is - a masterpiece! If you don't have this polish in your stash, you're making a BIG mistake! This is three coats with one coat of Gelous and two coats of Seche Vite. This glitter is a thirsty one!











SPEECHLESS, right!?!?!
