Pahlish - Force of Nature Collection Swatches & Review

Hello everyone, long time no "see" ! Today is the day I kick my own butt and get back to blogging the way I used to. I have plenty of unpublished reviews and items to be reviewed that have been sitting in a bin for MONTHS and that is not acceptable in my books! So for the next week or two I will be playing catch up on reviews, press releases, etc, and getting back into the swing of things. I really missed blogging and being "in the loop" with the nail polish world and I'm so glad to be back!

Today's post is the Force of Nature collection by Pahlish. This collection was released in the summertime, so unfortunately a lot of the colors in this collection are no longer available (I'm sorry, you can blame me if you like what you see and it's not available). This collection consists of 5 beautiful cream polishes; 3 with micro glitters and 2 with bigger sizes and shapes of glitter. I believe all of my swatches are 2 coats worn alone, however you can get away with one coat for some of them depending on how you apply your polish.

First up is Shake the Rust which consists of a reddish-orange micro glitter in a light pink base. At first glance this was the polish I disliked the most, but as soon as I got it on my nails it became my favorite!

Next up is Sea Said Goodbye which consists of metallic green glitters in a periwinkle base. Please excuse my oompa loompa colored skin in this photo, it always happens with tones of blue grrr! Lol.

Then we have Mountain Sound which consists of gold micro glitters in a bright yellow base. I don't know why, but this polish reminded me of Spongebob Squarepants ahaha!

Next up is Move Slow and Steady which consists of a reddish-orange micro glitter in a red-toned purple base. This is my second favorite of the collection; for a glitter that is supposed to be a "rusty" color, it sure is pretty!

And lastly we have Pet Dragonfly which consists of metallic blue glitters in a blue-toned purple base. This polish also has blue micro glitters that are very subtle, which adds a very nice touch to this polish.

Overall I think this collection was well thought out and put together very nicely. The colors are not extremely bold and bright, but the combinations of each polish sure do make them stand out! The polishes applied with ease and dried fairly quickly which is always amazing.

Pahlish nail polishes can be purchased from her bigcartel shop found here. Don't forget to like Pahlish on Facebook for updates and sneak peeks!

Pahlish - April Showers Duo Swatches & Review

Today I have the April Showers duo from Pahlish to share with you. This duo is the first of monthly limited edition sets that will only be available during their corresponding months. The two polishes in this duo are called Through Still And Storm and Ocean Gone Wrong.

First up is Through Still And Storm which consists of blue and charcoal microflakes, and an electric blue shimmer in a deep slate blue base. Swatches below are two coats of Through Still And Storm worn alone.
 

Next up is Ocean Gone Wrong which consists of various shades of blue and gunmetal glitters in a clear base. Swatches below are one coat of Ocean Gone Wrong layered over two coats of Through Still And Storm.

 I was kind of curious as to what this duo would look like matted, so I gave it a try. I think the glitters and microglitters really stand out more when matted!

I absolutely love this duo! This duo was rightfully named because looking at these two polishes definitely reminds me of rain. Through Still And Storm reminds me of the storm clouds that you see right before it starts pouring rain, whereas Ocean Gone Wrong reminds me everything from a calm wave to a hurricane all wrapped up in this small bottle. The application was great, no streaking what so ever and no need to fish for any glitters.  

The April Showers duo will be released tomorrow April 12th at 7 pm central time, so get your wallets ready because this set is the first in a series of monthly inspired Pahlishes that will only be available during their
specific month. Pahlish nail polishes can be purchased from her etsy shop found here. Don't forget to like Pahlish on Facebook for updates and sneak peeks!

Peace & Love,
