HHC January: Pahlish

Press Sample

Hella Holo Customs featured guests for January are Great Lakes Lacquer and Pahlish. They've both made beautiful polishes which are available January 14 through the end of the month to HHC Members only. You'll need to join the facebook group to get the sale link.



Pahlish Nocturne
A navy ocean densely scattered holographic with orange and pink chameleon flakes.
I could totally get lost in this sea of polish. So calming and beautiful. Two coats.





Pahlish Undisguised
A deep violet with a mix of holographic pigments and flakes with scattered chameleon flakes and a green shifting shimmer.
I totally fell for this polish! Purple with sparks of green and every other color of the rainbow, how could I not? Two coats.





Pahlish Briar Rose
A mauve rose with tons of holo flakes and dense green shifting shimmer.
Often an overlooked shade, this one is hard to miss with all its sparkly-ness! Two coats.





Pahlish Snowbound
A soft lilac with a mix of holographic pigments and flakes with orange/pink chameleon flakes and a glowing copper shimmer.
So femme and delicate, definitely office appropriate even with its flashy sparks of holo! Two coats.






All of these HHC polishes are absolutely beautiful and it's good to see Pahlish at HHC. My favorites in this collection are Undisguised because of its purpleness and rainbow spark and Nocturne because of how calming yet fun it is to look at. The application for each of these was smooth and easy!

I have created a separate post to feature the HHCs by Great Lakes Lacquer. Since there are so many images to share this month, I thought it best to split them up.

The Color Box: Rainbow

Press Sample

The October Color box is available now and we're doing it up different this quarter!
Rather than a single color theme, we went with a Rainbow this time! That's not all, the box has six polishes rather than the usual five, and every polish is truly fantastic!



Amanda Loves Polish / Pahlish
Cupid's Bow is a deep oxblood jelly with multichrome red and purple shimmer and holo flakes.
Two coats, but opaque enough in one. Formula was good.





The Jedi Wife / STELLA CHROMA
Autumn Serenity is a burnt orange linear holo with bronze and teal flakies.
Two coats, but opaque enough in one. Formula was good.





Sammy Gail's Nails / Polish My Life
Golden Sunsets is a vibrant yellow based cremely with scattered gold and multi colored shimmers.
Two coats, still slightly sheer. Formula was good.





Queen of Nails83 / Colors By Llarowe
The Marching Titans is a deep green jelly base with red to gold flake green shimmer and copper red to green UP pigment shimmer.
Two coats, but opaque enough in one. Formula was good.




Manna's Manis / Pretty Jelly
Manna's Mighty Masterpiece is a bright azure scattered holo with green-to-blue flakies and purple shimmer.
Two coats, but opaque enough in one. Formula was good.





xoxo, Jen / Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer
End of the Rainbow is a royal purple with a pink to purple/blue shift, purple metallic flakies, and sparse silver holo microglitters.
Two coats, formula is a new base and was excellent.





Pre-order is live now through October 27th! Run and grab your rainbow today!

Road to Polish Con: Blush, Pahlish and Nevermind

Press Sample

The Road to Polish Con is back as a preview for the September 23rd Polish Con event in Chicago. I am delighted to be involved again as both Director of the event and Official RTPC Blogger! If you missed the NYC Road to Polish Con, you can find photos and links here.

I and five other “official” Polish Con Bloggers and Swatchers are sharing each polish with you first! We'll adventure together down the Road to Polish Con every Thursday for a full eleven weeks.
The polishes release Sunday morning at 8am central, will be available to pre-order for one week, and then the shop is refreshed with different polishes for the next launch.



Blush
Tip-Toe The Tightrope - silver holo polish with a pink shimmer

What a stunning shifty holo polish! Opaque in one coat, but I used two because I paint a little uneven sometimes and I didn't want to risk that for photos. I've mentioned in other Blush reviews but worth mentioning again, I'm absolutely in love with the brush! Super soft, flat a bit wide which makes the polish so easy to control. No clean up, cause the Blush brush is "all that and a bag of chips!"





Pahlish
Sweet Home Chicago - soft lilac pink crelly with holographic flakes and pink/copper/holographic shimmer

Super squishy crelly with sparks of holo shine. So delicate! Shown is two coats with topcoat.





Nevermind
Penny Dreadful - A copper holo with a red-pink shift and metallic red flakies.

A bright coppery polish and just look at that holo rainbow bend! A little on the sheer side, shown is three coats with topcoat.





Each of these polishes have great formulas and are worn with KBShimmer Clearly On Top (qdtc) and Fillin Groovy (base).

I hope you've enjoyed the review and photos - snag yours this Sunday morning after 8am Central over at http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/products. They're available 9/3-9/9.

Polish Con: Week 4

Press Sample

Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central. This week's launch will feature week 4 polishes from Ever After and Pahlish.

I Want To Be A Part Of It

A lavender base that twinkles like fairy dust and is packed with shifting flakes. The formula was buttery and applied evenly; I wore three coats and topcoat.

No Sleep Til Brooklyn 

An indigo jelly base packed with silvery flake and shimmer. The formula was very fluid and applied evenly; I wore two coats and topcoat.

Recap of the Week 3 Polishes in case you missed those.
