Pahlish Toxic and Timeless

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless is a teal jelly polish with gold and blue glitters. It's a little similar to My Oblivion, which I showed you previously but they are different enough to warrant owning both. I have a comparison of the two polish later on in this post.

Here I am wearing two coats of Toxic and Timeless over OPI SKi Till We Drop on my index, middle and pinkie. On my ring finger, I have three coats of Toxic and Timeless by itself.





I have really short nails and almost no free edge so you can't really see the white bit on my ring finger but I can only imagine is on gals with longer nails and for that reason, I actually prefer layering Toxic and Timeless over a base colour. Plus, your bottle will last for more manicures!





That being said, wearing Toxic and Timeless by itself wasn't difficult. Application was easy and with a layer of Seche Vite on top, everything dried pretty quickly!





Here's a close up shot of Toxic and Timeless. You can see the gold and blue hex and bar glitters swimming in a gorgeous teal jelly base.



And here is Toxic and Timeless next to My Oblivion, as promised. You can see that the two are different. Toxic and Timeless has blue and gold glitters while My Oblivion only has gold holographic glitters. Toxic and Timeless also has a greener base compared to My Oblivion's bluer undertones.



Well, this is the last of the Pahlish polishes I hauled a couple months back but stay tuned because I have loads more indies to show you all! Till next time!

Pahlish My Oblivion

Hey polish lovers! Today I have Pahlish My Oblivion to show you. My Oblivion was one of those polish I just HAD TO HAVE the moment I saw swatches.

I started with two coats of Nubar Dark Wash Jeans. I absolutely love this polish. It's dark with a perfect hint of smokiness.



Then I added two coats of Pahlish My Oblivion. It's a royal blue jelly with gold holographic hex and bar glitters.



Purdy huh?



I love how the jelly finish lets the gold glitter shine through and gives the polish such depth!





You can't really see how holo the glitters are until the sun hits them and they start glowing! This picture below was taken under direct sunlight.



Here is a close up of three coats of My Oblivion, sans any base colour, and you can see how much lighter My Oblivion actually is without anything underneath.



One last one for the road. This isn't the most colour accurate picture but I love how precious My Oblivion looks. It somehow reminds me of gold coins lying in the bed of the deep ocean!




Till next time!

Pahlish Train Underwater

Fun fact: I have the most number of blue polishes in my helmer, compared to any other colours. Thus, it should come as no surprise that I had to have Pahlish Train Underwater.

This is two coats of Train Underwater over China Glaze First Mate on my index, middle and pinkie, and three coats of Train Underwater by itself on my ring finger.





Train Underwater has the most gorgeous aqua and purple glitters, mixed in with some holo ones too. Such a beautiful combination of colours!



Wearing it on its own really reminded me of an underwater scene. I'm imagining sparkling treasures buried deep underwater!




Here's a close up shot of two coats of Train Underwater that I swatched on a swatch stick.


I'm absolutely in love with the squishy teal jelly base! <3

Pahlish Dark Parades

Hello hello! Today I've got a super pretty polish to show you - Pahlish Dark Parades!

Pahlish Dark Parade just reminds me of a darker, more sinister party mix of glitters. Normally you'd expect to find such a combination of glitters in a fun, bright coloured base but this sexy shade of deeper purple just does it for me! It's like a grown up version of a glitter polish!

This is two coats of Pahlish Dark Parades over OPI Road House Blues on my index, middle and pinkie, and four thin coats of Dark Parades by itself on my ring finger.



Road House Blues was such a perfect base for Dark Parades. I didn't wanna paint it over black so I went hunting in my Helmer for a nice plurple base.







This is two coats of Dark Parades swatched on a swatch stick. I love how squishy it looks on the stick but somehow, this love did not translate that well onto my actual nails.


I love how painting a fun glitter on top of a dark base can instantly brighten the mani up a bit. Dark nail colours can tend to make a person look more mature but spicing things up with something like Dark Parades can change that! Till next time!

Pahlish Sullen Girl

I ordered some Pahlish a few months ago and Sullen Girl was one of them. I got her on an impulse after seeing swacthes of her on Adventures of a Mad Scientist. Sullen Girl is a clear based polish with charcoal and blue holographic glitters.

This is two coats of Sullen Girl over Zoya Kelly.









Kelly really brings out the bling in Sullen Girl, don't you think?

I was just looking at my older pictures and I realised that my nails are getting so long. It's been about two weeks since I've cut them. They're getting in the way of quite a couple of things, like typing on my phone and writing so I guess I'll be cutting them soon. I'll probably do a couple more swatches before I cut them down. Might as well make full use of my longer "canvas"!

Pahlish End of Days

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!

When I first started out with my indie addiction (it a full blown addiction now), Pahlish was one of the brands I mass bought off Etsy.

I started out with two coats of OPI Roll In The Hague. I love how saturated RITH is.



This is one coat of End of Days over RITH.



End of Days is a clear based polish that has a subtle orange shimmer to it, along with orange and blue hex glittters.







I wanted to know how more coats of End of Days would look like so here, I have three coats of End of Days on my index, two coats on my middle and one coat on my ring finger, all of them over two coats of OPI Roll In The Hague.





I must say I love End of Days more on both ends of the spectrum, either fully blinged out or with a lighter touch.

Oh, and can I just say what a godsent the PVA glue base coat is?



I'm so much less hesitant to wear glitter polishes now!

Enjoy your weekend! :)
