Pahlish Mukashi Mukashi Collection

Press Sample of the Pahlish Mukashi Mukashi Collection Okay so this is about a week late, but I had the initial collection done and swatched on time… and I decided to redo the photos. I wasn’t happy with how they had come out. My hands shake a bit, and the night I did the initial swatches was a particularly bad night and only a few photos came out decently enough to post. So I redid them and I cropped them all yesterday, so here we are with photos that I feel more comfortable posting. So finally – we’re looking at my swatches and review of the Pahlish Mukashi Mukashi Collection! The Pahlish Mukashi Mukashi Collection is inspired by Japanese Folklore and Fairytales. I’m sincerely hoping in typing this post I don’t muck up the names. This set has an assortment of finishes and colors to choose from – and overall they will…

Pahlish March 2018 Releases

Press Sample I have 11 Pahlish shades to show you today and they are all releasing very soon (by soon I mean in 30 minutes from now!) Yes I realize I’m cutting it close again, story of my life. I’m working as fast as I can, and honestly I’m not the best time management person that ever lived. Anyways – 9 of these shades are new releases as usual, 1 is a 6th Anniversary shade and 1 is a group custom for the Pahlish Lover’s Facebook Group (you will need to be a member to purchase it.) So let’s jump right in! Here are the Pahlish March 2018 Releases! As you can see, Pahlish wanted FOILS EVERYWHERE for this release. I’m not complaining – but if you aren’t a foil fan, this may not be the release for you. If you haven’t tried foils really – then dip your toes in…

Pahlish January 2018 Hella Holo Customs Exclusives

Press Sample I have the second half of the January Hella Holo Customs on the blog today! I was planning on having these up yesterday, but life happens and the post didn’t. So now, here are the Pahlish January 2018 Hella Holo Customs Exclusives! These were created specifically for the Hella Holo Customs group, so you do have to be a member there to purchase. I made the group name clickable for easy access to join if you aren’t a member already. Typically every month there are anywhere from 2-8ish exclusives available, depending on brands who made customs for the month. This month there are 2 brands and each brand created 4 polishes. In case you missed it, pop back over to the Great Lakes Lacquer January 2018 Hella Holo Customs post I already did! Let’s take a look! Briar Rose Briar Rose is a mauve rose crelly base with tons of…

Pahlish 12 Days Of Christmas Collection

Press Sample I think I have about 5 posts to push out today before Black Friday begins. I’m starting the day with the largest of the posts – Pahlish 12 Days Of Christmas Collection! Yes, the name is exactly what you think – Pahlish brought us the 12 Days Of Christmas in polish form! From drummers all the way down to a partridge in a pear tree. Plus I have the 2 gift with purchase shades that will be available! They are gifts with purchase though, so you won’t be able to get them individually. All that info will be at the end of the post though. Let’s get this going! Partridge In A Pear Tree Partridge in a Pear Tree is a soft taupe cream with a mix of holo flakes, red and green shimmers, and pink and orange multichrome flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy…

Pahlish Iced Lebkuchen

Press Sample I got another Polish Pickup shade in today! Ready to see Pahlish Iced Lebkuchen? As always, we’re going to go through my spiel on Polish Pickup for those not familiar with it! Before I get into this lovely shade shown above, we’re going to talk about this new Facebook group and I’m going to describe it’s concept. The group is Polish Pickup. Polish Pickup offers a fun, interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas, vote for your favorite theme, and selectively purchase your favorite polishes every month. It’s NOT a box though. I think when it formed that was the major misconception of it. Now, I love polish boxes, however, some purchasers shared their frustration in only wanting 1 or 2 polishes from a box and needing to unload the polishes in the box they didn’t want. So essentially they were paying $40 and up for 1 or 2 polishes…
