Pretty Serious Seasonal Sunset

As mentioned yesterday todays' post is about a so called "exotic" nail polish brand. Pretty Serious is Australian based beauty brand that sells its polishes with a variety of international e-shops (please find the list at the end of this post). If you got a moment after reading my post, I suggest you visit their own website here - it is so unique and quirky!!! When looking up Pretty Serious you will not find your straight forward reds, blues, greens but those shades come always with a twist and tweak, be it a strong duo chrome shift, glimmer, shimmer, glitter you name it, they have it. Their creations are so avant-garde and eye-catching yet their quality is stellar.

Since we now finally clearly definitely arrived in full autumn here in Switzerland I choose a true autumn color - Seasonal Sunset - a brown polish that is loaded with gold and copper glitter. The polish actually looks like heaps of dried leaves sprinkled with golden sparks:

and then some in artificial light - see those twinkles in the blurry shot?
 
 
I applied two coats of Seasonal Sunset over Essence Hardening Nail Base. Despite the glitter density - and probably because the micro size of them - the formula is perfectly silky to apply and dries to a smooth surface in a rather short time.

You can buy Pretty Serious with the following international e-shops:
Harlow & Co
Llarowe
Mei Mei Signatures
Pshiiit Boutique

They do come a bit pricey at USD 12.50 but frankly, I haven't bought a single one that would not have been worth every cent paid.

About "exotic" nailpolish brands: for us gals living in Europe or US brands coming from Australia or Brazil definitely classify as exotic - now I wonder what brand would count as "exotic" in Australia, probably yesterdays Cult Nails certainly is one of them.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

    If this isn't a Fall polish, I don't know what is! Perfect:) It snows in your neck of the woods, right? Or just in the mountains?

      Thank you dear Essie <3!!! Luckily it only snowed in the mountains. But from where I work, I could see some snow covered mountains in the distance. I live in a "mild pot" so to say - there might be snow left and right and we are the last to get a load of it - gladly ;-)

    I just adore these burning leaves polishes so much! This is beautiful on you, too. Color4Nails will be carrying Pretty Serious before long, too, and I'm excited :) I adore the label, too. Some of these indies knocked it out if the park with their logos and this is one of them, imo. The sixties kitschiness is perfect!

    Salut Christine! I can't believe I almost missed this post. This colour is so gorgeous! I love the copper hue and the golden sparkle it suits you so well. I looooove fall and this shade represents it very well.
    I hope you're doing fine, bisous ma biche, xxx
