Pretty Serious Cosmetics- They came from beyond space II - Part 1




Hi there everyone! 
Today is part one of  Pretty Serious Cosmetics They came from beyond space part II collection.
I am going to share with you 4 of the 8 polishes today and the other 4 tomorrow.

Pretty serious cosmetics released these last month and as soon as they came out I was super excited so brought the whole set! And now with these I now own every single Pretty Serious polish made.....apart from the elusive Golden Ticket that was a giveaway last year. Maybe one day I will own that gem, but for now..... no luck.

OK so lets get started!!!!!!

All the polish to apply was a little thick in this collection, as is 99% of all PSC polishes, and that's what I love about PSC polish, it only takes 1-2 coats to get the perfect finish. As these polishes are textured you do not need a top coat, but if you would like a shiny effect a top coat will be required. Just remember textured polish is a thirsty little fella, and usually I find I need 2 coats of top coat.

Surfing Alien- Is a silver textured polish. I really loved this one. I think it is the favorite in the collection and I will most likely buy a back up of this baby if Kaz every decides to delete it...... which I hope not!!! The silver is the perfect colour and reminded me a little of the glitter bling payoff you get with OPI crown me already.
 I used 2 coats for this swatch.





Robot Monster- is a grey polish with almost a pinky hue to it. I would say it was pewter but it is not quite the same. I do not really have anything like it colour wise in my collection so I am very excited to have it.
This was 2 coats. 




Starship Doom- Is a dark grey textured polish. Honestly this was the polish I liked the least from the collection. Don't get me wrong, the polish is still really pretty I just found the texture pay off was not as good with this polish. I think that is due to it is in a shimmery base. The pics show it as quite textured, but IRL it did not look as textured as this. The camera liked to pay tricks with me! I also had to use 4 coats compared to the 2 coats I have used for most of the others in the collection.




Menace from Mars- Is a red textured polish. So this was the second least favorite in the collection. And again I think it was due to the lack of texture payoff and bling with it. As you can see in the pics the polish is an awesome red,but the texture is not as prominent as some of the others like silver alien.
I also needed 3 coats for this one.




So I hope you have liked the 4 polishes I have shared with you today.Tomorrow I will be sharing the final 4 polishes in the collection.

If you would like to get your polishes pinkies on any of them hop on over to Pretty Serious Cosmetics to buy yours! polishes are AUD$9.95 each and if you buy the whole set like I did you get 10% off as there is a listing for the full collection.

Dance Legend Roz (pic heavy)





Hi there Everyone!
Dance legend last year brought a set of 5 multi chrome polishes and one LE multi chrome polish.
When I first saw them I was amazed at the spectacular shift the polishes have, and then to top it all off they were named after characters in Monsters Inc, one of my 2 girls favorite films ever!!
So I just had to get them. 
Over the next few weeks i will be sharing all the collection but as the posts will be pic heave i figured this was the best way.
Today I will be sharing with you all Roz. 
This is a amazing shifting polish from pink to green then it has shifts of golds and even a little purple too.

The best way to share is showing you all the pics.
All the pics are of a black base coat and 2 coats of Dance legend Roz. I will note under the pic if it was in the shade or sun.

How totally amazing are these swatches!!! the polish no matter when you look makes your nails look different.
I even told my hubby that day to be pre warned when I drive the car as I may crash it from getting distracted with my nails!!!!!

If you would like to purchase Roz you can grab it from Dance Legend Direct HERE and they have a offer if you purchase 10 bottle or more it is free international shipping. I have to be honest tho, i got my polish in 5 weeks but some ladies have been waiting for up to 3 months for their polish. please be aware of this as customs seems to like polish and hold it in Russia for quite some time.
If you cannot wait that long be sure the keep an eye out over a Femmme Fatales website ans she does get Dance Legend in from time to time. you can find her site HERE.

Next one up in the collection I will be sharing is the Limited edition knight.

Until next time.......

GOT Thursday - valentines theme




Hello there everyone! ok so this week GOT challenge is valentines..... I hunted through my old untrieds and found this little gem.... Layla magnetic ruby red. still all sealed up from god knows when!!
So I decided to give the valentines mani a go......


Apart from the red magnetic layla i also used some basic black and white polish and a bottle of layla mirror effect black as ebony. this too is an old untried!
I also used stamping plates- Bundle monster BMH18 and Mash 54. Lastly I stuck some red foil over the heart in love.

Not too bad for an old polish combo!!!

Tri polish tuesday (actually weds...im late)



Hi there everyone!
Today with Tri polish tuesday I have a  cute mani I did with stamping. I used Zoya izzy, zoya marina and ulta3 chocolate cake, then used stamping plate Mash 62 for the jigsaw.


I is a simple but effective mani. the stamping i did backward stamping where I picked up the image off the plate then let it dry on the stamping tool, coloured it in with different polish, then popped a clear top coat on. waited it to dry then peeled it off and placed on my nail to get almost a water decal effect.

Why not check out what everyone else did this week with the pink,brown and grey tri polish challenge 

Until next time.........
