For The Love of Polish box March and April 2018

                                           

    Hello, all! I have 2 For The Love of Polish boxes to share with you today. I really love this box and I’m so glad that I subscribe to it. My May box is on its way to me now and I’m excited to get it. Let’s get into the swatches for the March and April box now.
     First, let’s look at the March 2018 box and the theme was  Lakes. This box featured polishes from Polished for Days, Pahlish (these 2 are permanent makers for this box) and the guest maker, Great Lakes Lacquer. The Polished For Days is called Float Your Boat and it’s gorgeous! This polish is a cobalt blue with pink to green shifting flakes, green to gold to pink iridescent flakes and holo flakes. I used 2 coats plus my favorite top and base coat from Cuticula. I love PFD so much! She makes the most unique color and shimmer/flakie combos. 









     Pahlish made a beauty named Salt Lagoon and it’s so pretty! This polish is a rosy mauve holo with pink to violet chameleon flakes and shimmers. I used 3 thin coats and Timeless top coat from Cuticula for this mani. 







     Great Lakes Lacquer made a polish called That Ducking Lake. Best name ever! That Ducking Lake is a mossy green holo with a pink to gold to green shifting shimmer. The pink shimmer really stands out in this polish. I used 3 thin coats and Timeless top coat from Cuticula for this mani. 







     The theme for April’s box was Dragons! I loved this theme! The polishes are stunning. The guest maker for this box was Tonic Polish so I was thrilled to be able to buy a box with all 3 of my favorite makers in it. First, I have Polished For Days Dragon Breath and I have one word for this polish- WOW! The red shimmer is insane! Ok, the deets. Dragon Breath has a maroon purple base with a strong red to copper to green shifting multichrome shimmer and holo flakes. I used 2 easy coats and Timeless top coat in Berry Sunrise scent from Cuticula for this mani. 









     Pahlish was inspired by the dragon from the Disney animated movie, The Sword in the Stone, Madam Mim. I love all things Disney so I was thrilled to know the inspiration behind this polish. Madam Mim is a sheer lavender with holo flakes and a pink to gold shimmer as well as a mix of chameleon flakes. I used 3 coats and Timeless top coat in Berry Sunrise from Cuticula for this mani. 







     Tonic Polish made a beauty called Draccus. This polish is a dark teal holo with purple to copper multichrome shimmer. The shimmer was very hard to capture on the nail but you can see it in the bottle. I used 2 coats and Timeless top coat in Sour Patch Candy from Cuticula for this mani. 







    I was thrilled with both boxes and am very much looking forward to receiving this month’s! Thanks for reading and happy painting!

  Hello, again! I have 2 polishes from Polish Pickup to share with you today! September’s theme is Magic And Alchemy and the makers involved have created some beautiful things for us!  Let’s talk about Polish Pickup first and then we’ll get into the swatches. For first time readers, Polish Pickup is an interactive group on Facebook (I will include the link to the group at the end of this post) that allows you to submit theme ideas for each month and vote for your favorite theme. After the theme is picked, you may then select your favorite polishes to purchase from a multitude of different makers. It’s a fabulous concept and very popular!

They offer flat rate shipping to the US ($3) and Canada ($5) and orders will usually start shipping about 3 weeks after the shop has closed. Ready for swatches? Coming right up!  By Dany Vian

Pahlish Arcana collection

      Hello, fellow polish lovers! I have some new Pahlish to share today. Pahlish is my absolute favorite indie maker so everything she makes, I love and this new collection is no exception. The Arcana collection was inspired by Tarot cards and each one is just stunning. I have no prior knowledge of Tarot at all but I did a bit of research after receiving this collection to swatch and it’s very fascinating. These new Pahlishes will be available in her shop on Sunday, 1/14 at 7 pm central time. Shannon is also one of the guest makers in Hella Holo Customs this month and 4 custom polishes will be available for purchase. You do have to be a member of their Facebook group to buy them so go check it out if you don’t want to miss new pretties. Ok, let’s get to the good stuff- swatches!      First up, I have the King of Cups. This polish is a medium taupe with a mix of holo flakes and pigment and bright purple shifting shimmers. The holo flakes and pigments are something you will see rep
