Nails are my obsession, and if you're here- they're probably yours too! Well, you've come to the right place, I think. I've combined my obsession with nails and writing, into one thing: Blogging! I've also recently stumbled across the world of online shopping and indie nail brands, and my interest is at an all time high. I plan to share and write a variety of things here, including guest bloggers. If you are interested in being a guest blogger, please feel free to leave a comment!
Apart from that, my name is Deborah. I'm 21 years old, I live in California and I'm a sucker for nail polish. It's probably the only clean and well maintained area in my whole room, but for obvious reasons, you know, priorities ;) But this is all the boring stuff, feel free to message me if you are any questions!
Also, all photos are taken with my Nikon D3200, unless otherwise stated, in which they are taken with my crappy half broken Galaxy S3. So, ONTO THE GOOD STUFF!
Pahlish's "Happy Holo-ween" Collection
A part from a few KBshimmers and destash polishes, this collection was my first full collection purchase. I've been eyeing Pahlish for a while as I venture into the indies of the polish world, and was struck at the beauty of all 5 of these holographic polishes. The bottles are amazingly cute, with a little ghost on them and black caps. Here are some cell phone quality swatches that I took:
First we have "Carmel Apple Orchard" its a stunning red, with holo (of course). Almost looks burgundy when the holos are illuminated in the sun! It's a pretty simple nail polish but applies beautifully, I had no problems with application and this one only took 2 thin coats for opacity.
Next we have "Trick or Mint" which is my second favorite in this collection! Its a lime, or granny apple green with holo. The holos illuminate the yellow tones the most. I love how sparkly these all are! This one applies a little more thin and I needed 3 coats for opacity.
Next up is "Spectral Taffy" its a beautiful blue, and for some reason reminds me of blue raspberry icees! :P I love the holo in this one, which shines more silver than the others for some reason. .I love this color, but I was expecting it to be my favorite and it wasn't. This here is 3 coats!
This one right here, is my absolute favorite! "Sugar Plum Marshmallow" Is a grey holo which borederlines lavendar. It definitly has some purple tints, and to me, the holo appears most obviously in this shade. I thought it was super unique, and it applied smoothly. This here is 3 coats!
Lastly is "Pop Rock Panic" is a holo purple, way more purple than Sugar Plum Marshmallow. Sorry if my color descriptions are pretty bland.... I have to get used to terminology, after all, I would call this one a "Jolly Rancher Grape" color ;)
Overall opinion: I have seen polishes that are more holographic than these, with a wider variety of colors, but this was great for me to have a set of simple colors and experiment with holographics and how they apply! THESE APPLIED BEAUTIFULLY, and I had absolutely no issues with applications. My favorites, in order, go: Sugar Plum Marshmallow, Trick or Mint, Carmel Apple Orchard, Pop Rock Panic and then Spectral Taffy. They are all beautiful.
For anyone else who got this collection, what were your thoughts?
