Pahlish Partridge in a Pear Tree

     Pahlish is the first indie nail polish company I ever purchased from <3 a great deal of my favorite polishes come from this shop and this one is definitely in the top three!  Partridge in a Pear tree is a light linen jelly with burgundy matte and metallic hexes, olive green squares and microglitter, and a red shimmer.  This polish is so complex I catch myself staring at it while at work :) particularly the subtle red shimmer that shines in the right light.  The red shimmer was impossible for me to capture in the photos, it is slightly visible on the out of focus thumb in the fourth picture.  The glitter applied very evenly and after three thick coats the jelly is opaque enough that the nail line is not visible.

Pahlish Partridge in a Pear Tree polish can be found here!  Along with the rest of the twelve days of Christmas polishes!!!

Elevation Colline du Charf + Man Glaze Hot Mess

     This is my first festive mani of the season :) to me it is reminiscent of a frosty sparkling blush wine.  Elevation Colline du Charf is a lovely nude with a purple tint, a very unique color, I love it alone as well as with a sparkly addition.  Colline du Charf goes on very smoothly and is perfectly opaque in two coats.
     Man Glaze Hot Mess is a heavy silver matte glitter.  There is no way to apply this polish sparingly and I love it!  As with the other Man Glaze polishes I have tried it dries incredibly fast and looks beautiful with or without a glossy topcoat.  I chose to wear it without a topcoat to give it a frosted effect.  I have to say that this polish stays on without chipping for at least a week while usually I can only keep a polish on for a few days, definitely the manliest.
