Pretty Serious Khepri's Amulet

And here we are at the last day of March (how did that happen?) and here is my last green polish-- at least for a the time being! Today I have another polish from the Pretty Serious Naileontology collection, Khepri's Amulet. This polish is a mermaid teal green with a strong golden green shimmer.

I swatched this awhile ago (before St. Patrick's Day) but I didn't have any issues with this. I'm pretty sure I used two coats here, but it's possible one more could have helped give it more depth. I didn't have any issues and it was easy and smooth to apply. My photos of this are a source of disappointment for me. I feel like they are very washed out, don't truly capture the depth of the color, and there is visible nail line in my photos when there isn't one in real life. Argh!! Seriously, my photos don't do Khepri's Amulet any justice at all! Though you can see how glowy and beautiful it is.

This would make a seriously stunning pedicure for summer. Can you imagine staring at this underwater? I feel like a mermaid already!

Pretty Serious The Dragon's Curse

*Edit: this was supposed to be posted yesterday, whoops!* Today I have my first Pretty Serious polish on the blog; one from their newest collection Naileontology collection. This is the polish I'm actually wearing for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, but I have another post planned for tomorrow, so you get to see this one today! The Dragon's Curse is a lovely apple green polish with an intense gold shimmer running throughout it. 

This is the first polish from Pretty Serious I have tried (though I did pick up a few others on sale awhile back) and I was really impressed with the formula and application. It went on super smoothly and easily-- almost too easily, as I have to be careful not too pick up too much polish and flood my nails (and I have fairly large nail beds). Because of the intense shimmer, I would suggest using a light hand when applying it because the shimmer can look slightly slightly brushs-strokey. One coat covered very well, but was not quite opaque-- two coats was perfect!

My photos here are a little washed out-- the green is much more vibrant and brighter in real life. This is such an awesome shade and I am totally in love with it! The Dragon's Curse is currently available for purchase for $9.95 at Pretty Serious (and with the conversion rate, you're actually winning right now). This polish is definitely unique to my collection so if you're a green polish fiend, this is definitely worth having!
