Party by the Pool is a gorgeous teal jelly with specks of blue and green shimmering in it's depths. I thought it would make the perfect sea for my beach nails.


I really like the result. It looked like the wet sand colour I wanted and in the sun the holo added the shimmer of sand at the waters edge.
That wasn't enough though for my beach nails. I needed more 'sand', some coarse golden sand and I had the perfect polish!
I was lucky enough to be one of the winners of a Golden Ticket from Pretty Serious Cosmetics. 10 lucky purchasers (within the first 100) of at least one polish from the new collection received a Golden Ticket in their package which meant they won a special Golden Ticket polish. I actually forgot about the golden ticket when I ordered the collection, I was just too excited about snapping up the new polishes. Of course I soon remembered which added to the anticipation. Even as I was opening the box I didn't expect to win so I was beyond excited when I saw that golden ticket. I think I'm going to frame it. I actually phoned my husband first and screamed in his ear before I took a zillion camera phone photos to share my excitement online :)
Like the rest of the collection I can't wait to wear this one on it's own but for now it was my sand. I sponged a layer of Golden Ticket across my tips. Sponging gave me a much rougher, sandier, finish than brushing it on would. Normally this would sit pretty smooth with a topcoat but I wanted grit. So I left it without topcoat and added some little starfish and pearls.
I actually had more starfish and pearls before I made lunch. Not sure where they went and I think I ate some gold glitter. I ate a rainbow cupcake with white frosting and edible gold glitter (I made 2 dozen for the school party) and licked the glitter and frosting off my fingers. Not sure where the edible glitter ended and my nails started :( If you're wondering what I'm holding, they're shells.
Golden Ticket is a glitter bomb of gold and holo gold, and it's actually a really nice gold, not too yellow and brassy like some gold polishes. It's pretty seriously amazing :)
