I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I started this series of posts! Time has just flown, and now here we are with the last five shades. I’m a little sad that this series is coming to an end, but even though it’s been a lot of work, it’s been nice to look back on my blog and see so many recent posts! I really think I need to do this again in a couple of months. I am pretty sure that I can rustle up another 50 amazing and rare polishes from within the depths of my helmers. [...]

Gah! Quickly throwing this post together while I sit here with hair dye in my hair. I’m seeing Roxette tonight and I have so much running around to do before my big sister picks me up at one. I apologise if this entry is missing my usual dribble witty repartee. 16. Revlon Color Illusion Steel Magic – This is another of my oldest polishes. There are so many great duochromes in the Color Illusion line, and I’m seriously thinking that this should be my next collection once I have found the last two Zings that I am looking for. Steel [...]

Firstly, I just want to say thank you to all of you for your wonderful supportive comments and well wishes on my last post. I’m so grateful for all of you, and I’m going to do my absolute best to make sure that my polishes and makeup are available worldwide. I’ll keep you all updated on my progress via Pretty Random, but you can also follow Pretty Serious on Twitter or Facebook. For Bottle Spam Sunday today, I thought I’d fish back through my twitter for some discontinued goodies. Enjoy! Covergirl Crackles in Smashed Pumpkin, Electric Shock & Fire Crackle [...]

I used to be one of those girls who overlooked red polish. I thought I knew better. I thought it was “too mainstream”. What I didn’t realise in the midst of my elitist snobbery was that I was turning my nose up at one of the most elegant, beautiful and classy shades any woman can ever apply to tips or lips. I decided to get myself all glammed up, 1940′s hollywood style last weekend with curls, dramatic winged liner and ruby red lips. (Revlon Colorburst in Ruby for those wondering! It’s sensational and I got mine for $2.50!). While most [...]

Can I just creep back in here without anyone noticing and pretend I was here the whole time? No? Okay, it was worth a shot. This probably isn’t the best time for me to be blogging because I’m having a shitty day and I’m ready to tear someone’s throat out. But my bad moods tend to make for creative new swear words, so let’s run with this. This could be A material from me. Or, you know, crap. (Smart money is on crap.) Before I begin, I just gotta whine a bit. Seriously you guys… (you guys) You guys I [...]

Calming down FAIL. *Runs in circles like an idiot* Why am I running? Why am I salivating? Why am I jibbering on? I’ll tell you. Many, many years ago, about three to be exact, I realised that my love of nail polish had grown beyond a passing fancy. I have an obsession with colour. My display room is filled with all sorts of bits and pieces, mainly toys from my childhood in all shades of the rainbow. When I was little I loved Care Bears, My Little Pony, Barbie, She-Ra… all these characters lived their days in brightly coloured worlds [...]
