Pretty Serious Cosmetics Emma Louise

Emma Louise is the second Limited Edition polish I have from Pretty Serious Cosmetics.  I got this from the second run of 100 bottles, so mine is unnumbered.  The original run of 300 bottles of Emma Louise was released in October 2012.

This polish is named after Emma, who is friends with Kaz, the creator of Pretty Serious Cosmetics, with all proceeds from the sales of this polish going to Cancer Council Australia.

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Emma Louise - Natural Light

According to the Pretty Serious website Emma Louise is "a vibrant violet jelly base with golden green glass fleck, purple micro-glitter, and purple and green hex glitter."

This is three coats.  The description above is pretty accurate. It is a purple base with gold and purple micro glitter, with bigger green and purple hex glitter. The purple hex glitter is slightly lighter than the base purple, so that it is visible amongst the purple and gold shimmer.

The formula on this is great, and it doesn't apply lumpy, so only one coat of regular top coat is required.

Unfortunately Emma Louise is no longer available. But there are lots of other great polishes (and cosmetics) available in their store. Pretty Serious Cosmetics are available from their website here.

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Naughty Night Shift Nurse

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Naughty Night Shift Nurse was a special polish designed for Kirsty from The Polish Haven for her birthday as a gift from her friends and released in June 2013.  Originally 100 bottles were made, and sold like crazy.  Last month though, Pretty Serious released another 100 unnumbered bottles of Naughty Night Shift Nurse. And I managed to get one!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Naughty Night Shift Nurse - Natural Light

This is three coats. It is quite a thin polish.  It is a duochrome fuchsia with lighter iridescent flakies.
It is purple and red duochrome base with added blue shimmer that also changes to orange in the right light, with pink flakies. This is a pretty complex polish, I mean flakies and duochromatic in one bottle!

The Polish Haven actually swatched this over black, and it makes the polish appear a lot more purple, so I am thinking of trying it out that way.  As it is not really 'me' in this form.

My sister is a nurse and I'm wondering if she would appreciate this one. But I am torn, because it is Limited Edition and I am a nail polish addict, and she is not.

Lots of Love
