Brand Challenge: Pretty Serious

Hello readers,
Today I have all of my formerly untried shades from my Pretty Serious collection to share with you. Let's take a look at swatches.

Undercover Mermaid

Undercover Mermaid features a purple-taupe crelly base filled with a subtle teal shimmer and small iridescent teal flakes. No issues with the formula. I used three coats for full coverage here. Photos show three coats of Undercover Mermaid with one coat of OPI Plumping Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Iktsuarpok

Iktsuarpok features a deep purple leaning grey crelly based filled with a silvery white flecked shimmer. The formula was very easy to work with. I used three coats here but it was so close after two that some may find two is enough. Photos show three coats of Iktsuarpok with one coat of OPI Plumping Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Khepri's Amulet

Khepri's Amulet features a teal jelly base filled with a super strong green shimmer. The formula was excellent and nicely pigmented. I used two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Khepri's Amulet with one coat of OPI Plumping Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

An Uzi From Daddy

An Uzi From Daddy features a vibrant purple base filled with sapphire blue flecked shimmer and a sprinkling of sapphire glitters. The formula was easy to work with and took two coats for full coverage. It does dry down with the occasional glitter bump so top coat is recommended. Photos show two coats of An Uzi From Daddy with one coat of OPI Plumping Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

BSOD

BSOD features a cobalt blue jelly base filled with blue microglitters. The formula was easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage. Despite all the microglitters this shade dried down smooth. Photos show three coats of BSOD with one coat of OPI Plumping Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
