Alanna Renee - Pacific

Pacific has a mix or large blue and holo turquoise hex glitter, turquoise bar glitter and small silver holo glitter in a blue jelly base.  Pacific was inspired by the ocean with the sun shining on it (the Pacific Ocean to be exact). It's especially pretty in the sun with all those holo glitters sparkling. The blue jelly base is sheer at first but builds up after three coats.  Were you able to look away from the macro...

Alanna Renee - Reptar

Here is the first swatch of my Alanna Renee polishes. This one is called Reptar. It's supposed to resemble the green T-Rex on the TV show Rugrats.  Reptar has orange and lavender hex glitter and smaller black, white and neon green hex glitter in a light blue base. Reptar dries gritty, giving it the texture of a real T-Rex (or so I imagine). You can smooth it out with a couple of coats of a thick top coat like...

Pretty Serious - Twinkling Lights

I was hoping to get this posted before Christmas but I've just been so busy! I hope you all had a good Christmas Day.  Twinkling Lights is a mix of blue micro glitter and copper hex glitter in a clear base.

I found a great street this year, each house...

Pretty Serious - Party By The Pool

Party By The Pool is a sheer blue jelly polish with blue and green micro glitter. You can still see a bit of visible nail line after three coats in the photo above. If the visible nail line bothers you then you might have to use four coats or layer it over something. Party By The Pool was purposely created sheer to let the blue and green shimmer show through, also it looks more realistic, like a shimmery pool.  The...

Pretty Serious - Seasonal Sunset

Seasonal Sunset has a rusty orange jelly base and gold glass flecks. This polish is unique in my collection and I can't think of any polish I've seen that's like it.  I had no problems with the formula, it was almost opaque after two coats but it was still slightly transparent at the tips so I used three coats. If you have shorter nails you could probably use two.              ...

Pretty Serious - Santa's Sunburn

Santa's Sunburn is a firery red foil with silver shimmer. This is really opaque, you could probably get away with one coat but I used two for 100% opacity. The formula was great.  Poor old Santa, he must be in some real pain after getting burnt this badly! I hope he gets better in time for Christmas!                NAIL POLISH INFO  Brand: Pretty Serious Name: Santa's...

Pretty Serious - Blue Gums On Boxing Day

Blue Gums On Boxing Day is a green jelly polish with a blue shimmer. For my international readers who may be wondering if "Blue Gum" is some kind of mouth disease I'll explain it for you. A Blue Gum is a species of Eucalyptus Tree native to Australia. They are usually referred to as a gum tree.  I grew up surrounded by gum trees so this polish is special to me. I wasn't sure if this would suit me but I think...
