Hello!

Today is a throwback mani I did for this past St. Patrick's Day. It was a quick one that put itself together in a moment of brilliance. Kind of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if you will.

I paired my own creation called Black Forest, CO which is from Emerald & Ash with Pahlish Pyrite. Green and gold just seemed fitting and the gold flakies in Pyrite really made the gold flakies in Black Forest, CO pop. Match made in St. Patrick's Day heaven!

Yep, another Pahlish. Time to get used to it, cause they are going to be all over this blog. Cause I am a crazy Pahlish lover to the extreme.

This color...what is there to say about it other than LOVE. It's one of those colors that I got because I thought it was so pretty, then I put it on my nails and I was blown away with its beauty. Honestly I just adore this color so much. It's a bright blue leaning teal jelly full of holographic micro glitter that just shimmers in whatever light they find. There's also a touch of blue shimmer to round out this perfectly squishy polish.

Welcome, welcome!

Today I have a beauty from the indie maker Pahlish. Valley of Ashes was a part of her The Great Gatsby Collection from a year or so ago. It's easy to say that this one polish was the pivotal turning point where I went from a Pahlish enjoyer to a Pahlish hoarder. Pahlish is now my largest indie brand collection that stretches well into the triple digits. 

This stunner is a cool toned grey crelly that is filled with a duochrome shimmer that flashes between green and a pink/purple. The pink can be hard to capture on camera, but is very visible on the nail. I just simply adore this polish. It's one of those that calls to me whenever I am wanting a grey polish.
