ALSO, there will be free shipping on all orders from Black Friday - Cyber Monday (November 25th - 28th), and to celebrate Pam's "29th" birthday on 11/26, she will have a code that day for 29% off everything, use the code "Happy29th" for that discount.

Paint Box Polish Sanguine Stars
Two coats
Fuchsia chrome with the subtle gold shift and holographic flakes
Outstanding. So very shifty and applies like a dream. I love the added extra holo sparks.

Sometimes all you need is a metallic silver chrome, with it's highly reflective look. Easy application, needing just two coats for coverage.

Fair Maiden Polish Cart-Jacked
*$5 Door-Buster*
Three coats
Dark navy jelly with blue glow and copper and holo glitter
Glittery and darkly midnight blue. For $5?! GET IT. Not quite opaque in two coats, but three took care of some visible nail line.

Fair Maiden Polish All the Whos in Whoville
Two coats
Light rosy pink linear holographic with yellow/pink shimmer and micro-flakes
Magical! I love that it's a rosy pink but is not super warm toned, which makes it very wearable on me (no lobster hands, rejoice). Thicker style formula, and nice opaque coverage in two coats. 




(Under LED Lighting)


Fair Maiden Polish Cindy Lou Who
Two coats
Magenta pink linear holographic 
If I had a Cindy Lou Who polish envisioned in my head, this would most definitely be it. Bright, pink, and pretty as can be. Smooth application with an easy formula. 




(Under LED Lighting)


Fair Maiden Polish <3 X 3
Two coats
Cherry red jelly holographic with scattered holo micro-glitter
WHOA. My <3 is head over heels for this one too. Lushly red and the holo micro-glitter add extra sparkle. 




(Under LED Lighting)


Fair Maiden Polish Merry Grinchmas 
Two coats
Forest green linear holographic
A beautifully done green holo. You can never have enough of those, right? Similar application as Cindy Lou Who aka opaque and easy.

Fair Maiden Polish Welcome Christmas
Three coats
Pale mint green with pink/violet/teal/aqua shifting shimmer 
Ooooh. Another delightfully shimmery holo. This is not as opaque as some of the others but three thin coats will yield the coverage shown here.

Fair Maiden Polish Who-Pudding
Two coats
Dusky plum purple linear holographic with violet shimmer
<3 X 3 is still my favorite but this is a very close second. I love the darkness with the violet and the glints of copper I see. Wonderful.

Pahlish Black Friday 2016: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review
Hello! I have a massive post from Pahlish today. These seventeen polishes are Pahlish's offering for Black Friday this year. I remember last year how awesome the selection was and was anticipating this year and holy crap, Shannon did not disappoint. You will see that the polishes are all Harry Potter inspired and oh my, they are striking and gorgeous and so worth the empty wallet I am sure you will have post sale. 

Since this is such a large post, I won't be doing into too much detail for each polish beyond description. Formula for all shown were about the same. There was a little variance depending on the collection, the Fantastic Beasts Trio was a creme based set, so they were just slightly thicker, the Sorting Hat Quartet was jelly based with flakes so they were not quite as opaque as the others. Generally though, I did not have any issues with application and got coverage within two to three coats for each one. It's hard to pick favorites but I really loved the Fantastic Beasts Trio, contrasting shimmers are oh so good. 

There will also be two Gift With Purchase polishes available! 
Dumbledore's Army will be free with $50+ purchase and The Boy Who Lived will be free with $75+ purchase. If you hit $75 or more, you will get both of the GWP polishes. 

Look for all of the Black Friday to be available via pre-order -from midnight on Black Friday, November 25th, until 11:59 pm on Monday November 28th in Pahlish's shop.
