I couldn't locate any blogs talking about the 2018 edition of the Awkward Pet Names* series by Pretty Serious Cosmetics. so I had. to go to. YOUTUBE! *groan*
I like the convenience of blogs, you go to an address, and BAM, all the info in front of you, 2D life for the win! Just a little bit of scrolling up and/or down. But with videos... urgh, gotta hunt down the ear phones, gotta use LINEAR TIME to watch the video (life is soooo hard) and gotta pause and rewind and blah to get info.
What do you mean you just turn it on and watch it?
Anyway... so, here we have celebrity nail artist, Kelli Marissa reviewing BOTH Pastel Pet Name* collections by Pretty Serious, she notes the earlier one as being from 2017 which I will continue to insist that it is actually from 2016 because I've got too many pastel pet names things filed under 2016 already and I'm not changing it! AND I file the second pastel edition as being from 2018 which she notes as being from the end of 2017, kinda into 2018... so yeah... either way, there are two sets, one is from an earlier time period than the other.
Considering my general resistance of having to sit through Youtube videos AFTER the effort of hunting for earphones (you try being organised in a shoebox!) to experience the in-fo-may-shon... things could be worse... Kelli Marissa is clear and concise, while going through a good amount of content in a reasonably short duration of time.

ie. Kelli Marissa uses "super expensive" candles as decorative background props but she will probably never light them because they were "super expensive".
No screenshots this time because nah.

The Well Meaning But Ultimately Quite Awkward Pet Names Collection
... so much so that Olivia Jade Nails actually did do swatches & reviews (08/05/2018) but minus the keywords "awkward" AND "names", and that is why I missed it earlier... OOPS!

PSC Youtube Videos by The Polished Queen
So, information on Pretty Serious got harder to come by from 2017 onwards. Even blogging in general, especially from Nail Polish bloggers also appeared to become less frequent. I'm not sure if they are connected or... ? That meant... I had to *GASPS* go on Youtube to find information on Pretty Serious polishes released post-2016.
My previous post, was about Nika's videos of her Pretty Serious polish collection. This one will be about The Polished Queen's (Jessika) PS polish collection! Videos were all made before the "occurence".

Enchanting Evergreen 20:58
Happy Accident 22:34
Davy Jones' Lacquer 25:21
Cute Cuticles Bubblegum 27:52
I was particularly interested in seeing Happy Accident since the other polishes are from collections prior to 2017 (with the exception of Daphne's Masquerade Party, Luminous Doom and Davy Jones' - the possessive apostrophe rules always trips me up - Lacquer) and thus, have been blogged about elsewhere... that still appears to exist on the internet as of today, but I advise you to take your own notes if you wish to refer back to this information later on in the future.
This was a comment from the following Youtube video embedded below... this is one of the many ways a youtube rabbit hole begins ... and that was how I ended up watching the video above.
