Pretty Serious ~ Into

Iridescent mulitsized
glitter in pink jelly base
Pretty Serious make extremely nice polishes in my opinion. And if there’s
something that they’re very good at, then it’s making purples! My prettiest
purple polishes are from… yes, you guessed it: Pretty Serious!
Into Dreams is a lovely deep purple! The formula is no less than great.
It’s almost opaque in one coat, but I gave it two, just to make sure that I
gave it the best conditions to shine! Drying time between coats is great. And
man, can this baby deliver! I didn’t apply a topcoat, and look at how it shines
in the sunlight:
If that isn’t lovely, then I don’t know what lovely is!
The pink shimmer makes this polish really special, and much more than
“just another purple” :)
I decided to pair it up with an iridescent glitter from Darling Diva,
namely “Carrie”. Carrie holds iridescent glitters in many shapes and sizes and
is perfect to layer over a purple like Into Dreams. I’m also a fan of Darling
Diva polishes – so I thought that these two would make a perfect pair.
Carrie is way packed with glitter! I usually use glitter like this: One
dip in the bottle per nail, and that’s all it gets. But Carrie has way too many
glitters for that in my opinion. So I made sure to scoop some of the glitters
off on the edge of the bottle before applying it onto the nails. We don’t want
any overkill, we particularly don’t want any underkill – we just want Kill! :D
Here’s the result of one layer of Carrie over Into Dreams. There’s no
topcoat involved whatsoever.
All the pictures are taken in the sunshine. Look at how the glitters
reflects the light beautifully!
One last shot. I know this is very simple, but I wasn’t in the mood for
large nail art projects today. A pretty purple with a cool glitter on top was
what it took to make me happy.
Sometimes it’s nice to keep it cool and simple, and just use a couple of
nice polishes, don’t you think?
