They Came From Beyond Space! Fast-track swatches


I received my nailmail from Pretty Serious this morning and I can't content myself - it's "They Came From Beyond Space!" - a mini-collection of three multichrome foil polishes. I am not a sci-fi person so not sure whether it is inspired by this same titled movie or not. Anyway, let me shut up and show you some pretty pictures.

Like Gargoyle Ganache, their developing prototype, these polishes look different at different angles, almost an effortless gradient. The most noticeable multichrome shifts to me are:


Left to right: Phantom Planet over black, Galaxy Invader, Atomic Brain, Phantom Planet alone

  • Phantom Planet (on index finger, two coats over black on little finger)- green shift gold - yellow - blue. My favourite polish of the three.
  • Galaxy Invader (on ring) - blue/ aqua - purple. 
  • Atomic Brain (on middle) - purple - copper - pink - black. It has the most obvious shifts of the three polishes

All applied with two coats to opacity, no top coat. Awesome on their own, I can imagine layering them over other polishes for different effects, like Phantom Planet on my pinkie. How I wish the awesome artwork by Leigh and Ben can be on the packaging just like with Monster Mash.

I got my collection from Pretty Serious' presale. The official launch date is 10th November - my little baby girl's 2-month celebration! At AUD $9.95 per bottle, and at their recently changed shipping costs: for 1-6 polishes, Oz - AUD$4.95, NZ/ Asia/ Canada - AUD$9.95, rest of the world - AUD$12.95, it's a bargain to collect them all.
