Yesterday, I received the press release for the Pretty Serious Cosmetics Christmas Without Snow Collection!

It made me think about how I immediately associate snow with Christmas. Being a Canadian, winters often spell snow. (Last year, however, was pretty strange. We hardly got any snow, and the weather was extremely mild!)

I’m the type of person who likes to admire the snow…from inside where it’s cozy and warm. 😉 I dislike shovelling snow (I’m terrible at it), I feel the cold as though I’m an elderly woman, I can never fall asleep when my chicken feet are cold, and I’m really bad at skiing.

Yeah, maybe I need to move to California…or perhaps I need to put my pride aside and purchase a hot-water bottle to warm up my bed. *Thinks about it while knitting in a rocking chair* (Okay, I don’t have a rocking chair, but I’ve loved them ever since I was a little kid. Yes, I was born an old lady, I suppose…)

Going back to the Pretty Serious Cosmetics Christmas Without Snow Collection…It reminded me that not everyone associates snow with Christmas. In some places, it’s balmy. Maybe they make a ‘sandman’ instead of a ‘snowman’.

Of the 6 shades in the Christmas Without Snow Collection, the ones that excite me the most are Blue Gums on Boxing Day, Party by the Pool, Hot Summer Nights, and Seasonal Sunset. Haha, that’s practically the entire collection!

If you’re a fan of multichromes like I am and tend to be mesmerized by polishes that shift colours, you won’t want to miss out on the Pretty Serious They Came From Beyond Space Collection!

From the minute I saw the bottle pictures in my inbox last night, I knew that I had to share it with you all ASAP because they look pretty amazing…hehe, and are indeed out of this world. 😉

Hehe, and I like how one of them is called Atomic Brain! That’s not something you see all the time!

Hallowe’en is my favourite holiday in the entire year, so naturally I get really excited in October when we inch closer to it.

There’s a new nail-polish collection out – Pretty Serious Cosmetics Monster Mash!

As a person who appreciates writing and the English language, I’m in love with the names of these polishes. Not only are they fun and appropriate for Hallowe’en, but they have alliterative names! Bonus points! 😉

Come read the press release and see larger shots of each bottle as well as the official descriptions of each shade.

At the bottom of this post, you’ll also get to see a limited-edition shade of theirs that looks pretty cool!

Do any of them catch your eye with a baseball glove? I’m curious about Gargoyle Ganache and Liquid Leprechaun (of course)!

The internet is saturated with tons of great beauty blogs, but the one I turn to a lot when I’m in the mood to drool over a hard-to-find polish is Pretty Random.

Even if I may never own some of those vintage polishes, it’s so much fun to see swatches of them and see the evolution of nail-polish history.

The blog is run by Karen (also known as Kaz), and a few days ago, she e-mailed me some amazing news. She came out with her collection of nail polishes! 

Especially for a nailphile, that must feel like winning the lottery! I’m so proud of her because I’m sure it was a lot of hard work. Seeing things go from vision to fruition is very rewarding.

Come check out the 6 colours she came up with for the Pretty Serious In the Night Collection, and read her press release!
