Plethora of Pahlish

Are you all tired of my spam posts yet? I hope not, I have a back log of pics to post and this is the best way to get everything up. I have some Pahlish (a plethora one could say, name that movie!) to share today and I could not think of a better way to get through my Wednesday than perusing some of Shannon's fantastic creations. 

Pahlish Ace of Fours
Light and airy in three coats


Pahlish Dance Across the Sea
Layered over Love & Beauty Dusty Blue


Pahlish Combustible Lemon
I don't even know what a combustible lemon would look like but hopefully it looks just like this.


 Pahlish My Oblivion 
Layered over Nina Ultra Pro Cobalt

Pahlish Fire in the Taco Bell
Layered over Lilacquer Roo-bee Rhod
If you haven't seen or heard the song that inspires this, click here 
(it's very weird and possibly NSFW, be warned!)


Pahlish Partridge in a Pear Tree 
An unusual color combination but everything works well together. 


 Pahlish Still Alive
It almost looks like a foil finish here for some reason. Sheer but buildable with a few coats.


 Pahlish Still Alive prototype
I actually like this version so much more, the color is just so dark and delicious.


Pahlish Stroke of Luck
Very sparkly and perfect of this time of the year.


 Pahlish Toxic and Timeless
Layered over American Apparel Pacific Beach
My favorite of them all, something about this jelly and those glitters just sing for me.


Phalish polishes can be purchased at her Etsy shop (restocking most Fridays) and at Llarowe. Updates on restocking and new releases can be found on her Facebook page

Smitten Polish Wickedly Smitten Collection

Smitten Polish recently released Wickedly Smitten, a collection inspired by the musical Wicked. Which was inspired by Gregory Maguire's book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is meant to be a parallel novel of the Wizard of Oz. That's like playing 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, except with green witches. Lol, well anyway, as someone who has not read the book or seen the musical, I was more excited for the polish colors though I definitely see the inspiration come through. Everything applied really well, but then Smitten Polish knows her formula. 

Look to the Western Sky
Purple jelly base with colors of the sunset - orange, yellow, pink and purple glitter. 
Worn with three coats and mattified in the second photo.
Definitely my favorite of the collection, such a pretty polish with so much depth.


 Pink Goes Good with Green!
Milky green creme base with light pink and green glitters applied with two coats.

 I Feel... Wicked
Green jelly base with green and purple varied glitter. 
Applied two coats over Illamasqua Rampage.


Traveling by Bubble
Milky blue creme base with blue and pink varied glitter and shimmer and applied with two coats
LOVE those circle glitters! 


Who Steals a Dead Woman's Shoes??
Clear base with silver, light blue and periwinkle glitter, applied one coat over Smitten Polish Frost Fairies
