Sally Hansen - Chameleon

Oh duochromes how I love thee.  This is 2 coats of Sally Hansen Chameleon.  A polish of yesteryear that I found on the bay of all evil for a pretty reasonable price IIRP.

Here are 6 trillion of the same poses.  Apparently I decided that I really wanted the fingers closest to me to be as blurry as possible.  No topcoat.

Pretty Serious - Christmas Without Snow 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

Pretty Serious - They Came From Beyond Space!

I was so stoked to receive this collection on Friday.  I peered in through their little windows and whispered "I'm going to swatch you on Sunday", and then I did.  Here are the results!

Apologies for 60 different lightings.  It was hard for me to capture the different colour shifts.  So shifty these fellas.

Also apologies for the shots where my fingers looked like they just slammed into all the Slim Jims.

Oh and any unfitting pink flashes on the bottles is likely just a reflection from my pink camera.

P.S. apologies for any craptasticly obvious shopping of black polish that I failed to notice until after all the polish was removed :|

As I was swatching I had Richard Stamos singing Loving You stuck in my head the entire time.  Thank you South Park.

All ring fingers are 1 coat over black.  All other fingers are 3 coats.  No topcoat.

Atomic Brain, not sure what the qozn is on the label there *squints*

Galaxy Invader, it's a bit redundant that I am announcing the names since the first picture is of the label..

Phantom Planet, and now a picture of the label.

All of these were a dream to work with.  Not too thick not too thin.  I like them alone or over black.  They aren't so sheer that you can't build them to opacity in 3 or even 2 coats if you are careful.  The colour shifts are strong in all of them.  I loved walking around through the different lights in the house moving my hands around checking out the pretty.  I want to try layering them over all of the things..

These are described as duochrome foils.  This means that they are tres blingy!  Very shiny and flashy as you can see since I did not use any topcoat.

They Came From Beyond Space! is available at Pretty Serious.  10% off if you buy all 3.  Shipping is totes reasonable considering they are coming from Oz.  Canadian ladies you should be especially pleased since it costs the same as it does from province to province.  Stupid Canada Post *glares*
