Pretty Serious In The Night Collection


The ever lovely Kaz sent me the six polishes from her new In The Night collection which I have for you today. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the video game it's based on.... but now I'm holding out for a collection based on Bust-a-Groove. Kaz?! :D Just kidding.



Into Dreams. Two coats. Deep purple shimmer with pink flecks. Leans more fuchsia than most of my purple shimmers. And like most purples, it is more red-leaning than my pictures show.






Nightopia. Three coats. It was fine at two but I think the third coat gave it more depth. Blue-teal with gold shimmer. Slightly heavier in shimmer when compared to Bloom Bianca/San Fransisco but it's got that same gorgeous green tinge at the edges that I love so much.






Claris. Three coats. Cool pink jelly with gold glass-fleck shimmer. So nice. The pink reminds me of an artificially flavoured and coloured strawberry milkshake! And the gold shimmer warms it enough for me that my hands don't look grey.





Dream Delight. Two coats. Dense silver glitter in a smoky blue tinted base. The tinted base makes it take on an overall gunmetal shade as well as giving the look of depth in between all the tiny glitters.






Nightmaren. Two coats. Bright red with gold shimmer. This is not as pigmented as a lot of red shimmers which actually works to its advantage. The shimmer doesn't get lost in all the red and actually reads gold. Awesome!






Elliot. Two coats. Bright medium blue with white-silver flaky shimmer. The blue is really saturated and there is no VNL in real life, contrary to what my pictures show.


The Pretty Serious In The Night collection is available now at www.pretty-serious.com. There are also a couple of lip glosses and a loose eyeshadow in the collection as well to match with Into Dreams and Claris.

Lynnderella When the Moon was a Star


I have a ton of other things to post but I thought it would be nice to show the mani I wore for last night's blue moon.



When the Moon was a Star. One coat over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. Shades of blue with gold accents as well as stars and moons. The holographic microglitter made it look extra twinkly. Seriously, move over SSN. This is the real starry night.


Do you see that little baby star hiding in the corner there?! SO cute! I didn't even know those guys were in there. It was such an awesome surprise when applying.

Lynnderella is available here.

Orly Space Cadet

I haven't pulled out Space Cadet in a long time - since the year it was released. I wore it the other day and realised that I've completely forgotten how much I love it!








Three coats. So crazy duochrome. I always have trouble catching colour shifts on camera but no such problem here. Love.

Late Green Spam

So errr... St Patrick's Day was yesterday but here is my green post. Sorry it's late! Enjoy :)



A-England Dragon. A dark yellow-toned green scattered holo with gold shimmer! *licks*



Essence Back to Paradise. Deep blue-toned green jelly. Not so keen on the formula but the colour is amazing.



One coat of Big Universo Espectral over Nfu-Oh 56 over China Glaze Gussied Up Green.



MAC Dry Martini. Gross colour? Yes. Do I still love it? Also yes.





Ozotic 503 over black. The colour shift is subtle compared to the other Ozotics but it's still very pretty.




OPI Simply Smash-ing! Gives me the worst lobster hands in the world but I still love it.




Unnamed Sasatinnie. Very dark smoky green jelly with some hidden shimmer. Reminds me of Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow.



Jelly sandwich with New York Summer Amaranth and Love my Nails Pink Surprise. Diamond glitter!



OPI Jade is the New Black. A perfect dusty green. One of my most worn green cremes.



China Glaze L8R G8R. Pale green holo. I haven't pulled this baby out in years! Glad I did!




Misa Let's Go Green. Bright, bright lime with gold shimmer. Gold shimmerrrrrr...




And lastly, Rimmel Mania. My love. I know this isn't technically green but that's besides the point :) My bud Kristy snapped this up for me on eBay. (((((hugs!)))))) Isn't she wonderful?! Mania is a close cousin of Bloom Bianca. But better. So much better!

Hope everyone's St Paddy's Day was awesome, green and full of good luck!

Past NOTD Spam

My nails are getting.... better. They should be all right after my next chop! Stupid peelies. In the mean time, here's some past NOTD spam.



China Glaze Lighthouse over Precision The Next It Girl. Sparkly yellow-gold glass fleck!

Here is The Next It Girl by itself...


Creamy egg-yolk yellow. Kind of seems like a blatant rip off of OPI The It Color. It is very nice nevertheless.





Anna Sui 300 over black. Anna Suis come in cute little rose bottles and smell like roses. Yummy! Plus, round glitter is surprisingly quite unusual.





BB Couture Bonnie. BBC glitter in a lush green, slightly jelly base. Awesome, awesome, awesome.






Flomar U31. Deep, almost black base filled with duochrome flaky shimmer. It flashes predominantly purple to pink and ever so slightly golden at extreme angles. Thanks to Kristy and Erina for letting me know about this :)





China Glaze Something Sweet. I haven't seen myself wear pink for quite a while now. So many pinks just look off on me. I did like this one though!





Unnamed Sasatinnie over Australis Here Today Gone Tomorrow. I picked up the Sasatinnie really cheap while I was in Asia. It's got smaller silver, green and blue glitter with larger yellow (gold?) glitter. It's very nice layered.

And the Australis by itself...


How nice is this?! Erina tells me it's a dupe for Illamasqua Rampage. A beauty!




Australis Blue Tiger with China Glaze Cracked Concrete. I'm not too sure I'm so fond of this combo. I think it would have looked better with white crackle instead.






Precision Toxic-Wasting My Time. Reddish, caramel-y brown with lots and lots of gold shimmer. I really loved wearing this. I do so very much enjoy gold shimmer.... :)
