Pahlish Summer Soda Fountain Collection - Swatches & Review!

Hi guys! Here is a incredibly late post from me :(
Today's post is the Pahlish Summer Soda Fountain Collection!

Pahlish Summer Soda Fountain (2)
*Products in this post were sent to me for the purpose of a 100% honest unbiased review.*
Pahlish Bubbly Blue Raspberry (2) Pahlish Bubbly Blue Raspberry (1)
Bubbly Blue Raspberry - Top - Three coats. Bottom - One coat over Zoya Sailor.

"Bright blue jelly base with two sizes of green-blue color-shifting hex and blue duochrome glassfleck shimmer"

Pahlish Bubbly Blue Raspberry matte
Mattified with Butter London Matte Finish.
I wanted to try Bubbly Blue Raspberry over a green too since it shirts to green a bit,
And I'm so glad I did! Here is it over Zoya Hunter and Zoya Sailor.
I LOVE that it is versatile! It looks so different over green!
Pahlish Italian Cream Soda
Italian Cream Soda - One coat over A England Lancelot.

"Clear based glitter topper packed with color-shifting translucent glitter in a mix of sizes and shapes, accented by a mix of soft gold and silver holographic glitters in multiple sizes and shapes, finished off with a scattered gold metallic shimmer"

Pahlish Legra 1956 (1) Pahlish Legra 1956 (2)
Legra; 1956 - Top - Two coats over Zoya Hunter. Bottom - One coat over Takko Lacquer Schiaparelli.

"Neon green glitter topper with three sizes of neon green hex, scattered iridescent green hex, and melon green metallic dots all in a sparkling just barely neon green base"

Pahlish Root Beer Barrel (1) Pahlish Root Beer Barrel (2)
Root Beer Barrel - Top - Three coats. Bottom - One coat over Zoya Louise.

"Rich root beer brown jelly base with orange-green color-shifting hex in two sizes accented by metallic gold microflake shimmer"

Pahlish Who Loves Orange Soda
Who Loves Orange Soda?! - Three coats.

"Vibrant orange jelly base packed with two sizes of blue-violet color-shifting hex and gold metallic microflake shimmer"

_______________________________________________________

I really love this collection, it has a really fun variety!
I prefer to layer Root Beer Barrel. Louise and RBB go together perfectly.
But I like Bubbly Blue Raspberry more on it's own, it;s more shifty in person and really pretty!

They are all stunning! Legra; 1956 and Italian Cream Soda have SO many possibilities and I just love that!
I didn't have formula issues with any of these except for Italian Cream Soda and it was minimal, the glitters just tried to stick together a little during application. So I think Dabbing would be best for that polish.


You can purchase these and other Pahlishes from Bigcartel for $9.00 each!

Pahlish will be restocking tomorrow at 7pm CST!

_______________________________________________________


I felt that some of these needed a fourth coat, but I think that was primarily due to the mini bottles,
it's harder to get the polish out. But Jen is replacing them with medium 9mL bottles that are easier to use!
(See new bottles here)

I can't get over how much I LOVE Quit Staring at my Melons over Betinna Tulipani!
Such a epic combo! And Betty's Fetti Milkshake is perfect! I loved all of these polishes,
but those were my favorites! Followed by She Blinded me with Science :D

China Glaze Texture Swatches & Review

Hi guys! Today's post is of three of the new China Glaze Texture polishes!
I hope everybody enjoys the upcoming weekend! I'm out of town hanging out at my sisters with my brother, hubby, daughter and nephews! We played Settlers of Catan for the first time last night and that was really fun! I lost but still :P Saturday I'll be back home and then I'm going out to dinner with some fellow polish lovers in KC! Anybody else have plans this weekend??

China Glaze Textures (1)
China Glaze In The Rough
In The Rough - Two coats.

"Light lime green with textured grit,"
China Glaze Itty, Bitty & Gritty
Itty, Bitty, & Gritty - Two coats.

 "Melon with textured grit."
China Glaze Of Coarse
Of Coarse! - Two coats.

"Bright cobalt blue with textured grit."

_______________________________________________________

These polishes were all very consistent formula wise, a tad thick but very easy to apply!
I used two coats for each of them but they just barely needed the second coat!
I'd recommend applying thinly and letting the polish dry fully in between coats. If you don't wait for it to dry completely before adding the second coat it takes a much longer time to dry and get as gritty :)
I tried these with topcoat but I like them better gritty! (I forgot to take photos, sorry!)

I'm slowly growing on textured polishes more and more and I really love the bright cheery shades that China Glaze released. These were very cute especially in person! I haven't done a wear heard wonderful things about the lasting power on these babies!

These polishes are so beautiful, when I saw Venus I literally said "Holy Shit" out loud.

It's difficult to pick favorites because I love each one, but something Morning Sunshine really pulls me in. I'm not typically a coral and peach fan! Venus is far up there too!
