Pretty Serious Christmas Without Snow Collection Preview

Christmas without snow? What a preposterous notion! For the rest of the world, maybe. But down here in Australia, we love to crack out the beer and boardshorts and soak up the sun at this very special time of year. We wanted to capture the spirit of an Aussie Christmas with our very first seasonal collection consisting of six amazing new nail shades to help you celebrate Christmas the Aussie way!

BLUE GUMS ON BOXING DAY - This rich green shines with a mesmerizing blue shimmer! Perfect for those post Christmas celebrations!

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS - Shining stars sparkle in the velvet sky. This inky blue jelly with silver micro glitter is a nightscape on your nails!

PARTY BY THE POOL - Splash about in this gorgeous peacock jelly, swimming with flecks of green and blue!

SANTA'S SUNBURN - It seems that Santa's Sunburn is the best type of sunburn! This jolly red foil sparkles with tiny flecks of silver.

SEASONAL SUNSET - Seasonal Sunset's rusty jelly base is packed to bursting with bright golden and copper microglitter particles and the result is simply breathtaking. It's a Christmas sunset on your nails!

TWINKLING LIGHTS - Like stars that sparkle in the sky, or Christmas lights twinkling in the night, Twinkling Lights will add something special to every manicure!

And to make things even cooler, our Christmas polishes will come in cute Christmas themed red holographic boxes with new artwork by our one and only Leigh Young! The perfect stocking stuffer! You won't even need to wrap them!

The CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SNOW collection is available for preorder NOW, with orders starting to ship this week! We are also running our amazing Golden Ticket promotion where ten lucky Christmas orders will receive our super secret limited edition GOLDEN TICKET polish! Only ten made and these will NEVER be sold on our site! Competition details can be found on here.

RRP is $9.95, with a 10% discount for buying all six shades! Pretty Serious Cosmetics also ships worldwide. Check out our site for more details.

O.P.I Euro Centrale Collection Preview

Polka.com Blue and violet are dancing partners in this glittery combo. 

OPI…Eurso Euro This deep blue cream is very continental. 

Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! Thank goodness there are zero calories in this warm and yummy pink! 

You’re Such a BudaPest If I let you borrow this periwinkle-purple, will you go away? 

 Can’t Find My Czechbook I hope you take credit, because I must have this aqua! 
My Paprika is Hotter than Yours! Get the extinguisher...this fiery red is sizzling! 

Hands Off My Kielbasa! Get your own...this bronzy tan is all mine! 

OY–Another Polish Joke! So this shimmery-gold walks into a bar... 

A Woman’s Prague-ative I’m changing this shimmery copper for...never mind! 

Vant to Bite My Neck? You know you want to...wear this deep eggplant. 

I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw Be seen in this deep midnight blue. 

My Vampire is Buff Creamy, pale and nude...just how I like my vampires. 

I tried to go to polka.com but nothing came up, I wonder if O.P.I are going to put a website up there, I'll have to check it again later. The colours I like from this collection are You’re Such a BudaPest, A Woman’s Prague-ative and Vant to Bite My Neck?.

This collection will be available 6th February 2013.

Mariah Carey by O.P.I Collection Preview

Studio Shades: 

A Butterfly Moment (This sophisticated and frosty tan nude has us all a-flutter) 

Sprung (Fall hopelessly in love with this shimmery copper) 

Pink Yet Lavender (This pink glitter with lavender shimmer has superstar shine!) 

Anti-bleak (This deep, creamy purple will lift your spirits) 

 Stage Shades: 
Stay the Night (Make it last in this matte black with red glints) 

 Get Your Number (Wearing this matte blue with sparkles is a great call) 

Can’t Let Go (Hold onto this matte purple with dazzling sparkle) 

The Impossible (This matte fuchsia with star confetti will never give up) 

I'm interested to see what the stage shades look like. They are matte glitters with O.P.I's new Liquid Sand formula so it sounds like they will be gritty. I'm liking the look of Sprung, Stay The Night and Can't Let Go. These shades are limited edition and will be available in January 2013.

Pretty Serious Monster Mash Collection Preview

I'm super excited for this collection! I'm still undecided on which ones I want but I know I'll definitely be getting Poltergeist Puddle. <3 These will be released on 10th October 2012. Kaz has managed to release her last two collections on my pay day. The Monster Mash collection has green holographic packaging, how cool is that?

As well as the Monster Mash collection being released on the 10th there will be a limited edition polish released too. This one is called Emma Louise and was designed by Kaz's good friend Emma Louise. There will be only 300 bottles available and $5 from each bottle will be donated to Cancer Research.

China Glaze Hologlam Collection Preview

Image Source: Everything2K

I'm a little disappointed in the colour range for a twelve polish collection. There's four very similar looking blues, five pinky purples, a green, a brown and a silver. I'm still looking forward to this collection, I like all the space themed names. Fans begged China Glaze for another holographic collection after the OMG collection so it's great that they listened.

This collection will be available in March 2013

China Glaze Transitions Collection Preview

Image Source: Everything2K

Well these look interesting! When you apply the top coat the polish changes colour. It reminds me of these textas I had as a kid that did the same thing when you drew over them with the magic texta. From the picture of the brush it looks like it's a normal brush size so it would be hard to do delicate designs but you could always use a nail art brush instead. I wonder if you can stamp with it?!

These will be available in December 2012.

China Glaze Glimmers Collection Preview

Yay glitter! I'm on a glitter kick at the moment especially since the PVA base coat discovery! I'll probably get Bling It On, Mosaic Madnes (I wonder if that's an intentional typo) and Graffiti Glitter as purple, blue and green are my top three colours.

This collection will be available in December 2012.

China Glaze Cirque DuSoleil Worlds Away Collection Preview

This collection is due out in November. I haven't got any information on the names of the polishes in this collection. That silver looking bottle behind the blur at the front looks interesting. Can't wait to see some swatches.

The Cirque DuSoleil movie is going to be released in late February in Australia so I might take my boyfriend for his birthday. Good thing he doesn't read my blog or it would spoil the surprise!

I enjoy fall collections. From this collection I obviously like Frozen in Time and Breakaway. I don't currently own any Misa polishes so I might have to get some of these.

China Glaze Texture Collection Preview

I'm not sure that I'd want my nail polish to be gritty on purpose. My guess is they will look similar to matte glitter polishes. I'll be interested to see what these look like swatched.

This will be available In March 2013.

China Glaze - Wicked Collection Preview

Cast A Spell

Immortal

Bizarre Blurple

Glitter Goblin

Roguish Red

Make A Specktacle

China Glaze seem to be giving everyone plenty of time to get excited about their Halloween collection which is due to be released in October. I'm liking the look of Cast A Spell and Bizarre Blurple. I love the name Glitter Goblin but it looks really similar to Tinkle Lights from the Let It Snow Collection 2011 which I already have. I guess I will have to wait for swatches to know for sure.

Can you wait until Halloween for these pretties?
