Pahlish Through the Looking Glass Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  I was hoping to get these up yesterday, but life got in the way.  Today I have the Pahlish Through the Looking Glass Collection.  This time around, the collection is inspired by Alice in Wonderland.  The label has even been customized to fit the theme.  I love it when Shannon does this.  The labels are always so cute!



Let's get on to the pictures!



First up is Painting the Roses Red.  It has a warm white crelly base and red and warm toned ultrachrome flakies.  Formula on this is perfect.

This is 3 coats.

The Sea is Boiling Hot is a bright red jelly with lots of silver flakes and violet shimmer the flashes at different angles.  No application complaints on this.

This is 3 coats.

Little Bread & Butterflies is a creamy neon yellow (leans a little green) crelly base with ultrachrome flakies throughout.  The flakies almost look black, but if you look closely you can see they aren't.  This is one of my favorites from the collection!  No application issues at all.

This is 3 coats.

How Doth the Little Crocodile reminds me of a radiant orchid color.  It's a fuchsia with subtle holo shimmer.  My camera captured it as more of a purple, but it definitely leans more pink.  Application was smooth and went on perfectly.

This is 2 coats.

Drink Me is a bright pastel blue cream with coppery/bronze flakes as well as a few blue flecks.  This is another favorite!  I love the ultrachromes in creamy bases!  Application was flawless.

This is 2 coats.

10/6 is a neon pink cream with subtle holo shimmer like we saw in How Doth the Little Crocodile.  This one dries to a satin finish, so don't forget your topcoat!

This is 2 coats.

Hello, Goodbye! has a cool toned white crelly base with violet shimmer and ultrachrome flakies.  This one was slightly more sheer that Painting the Roses Red, but still went on flawlessly.

This is 3 coats.

We're All Mad Here is the last of the official collection.  It's a light blue leaning purple cream base that's almost pastel, but not quite, and has flakes that shift from copper to red throughout.

This is 3 coats.

Jabberwocky is an exclusive that you get when you purchase the entire Through the Looking Glass set.  It's a glitter topper with neon yellow hex and flower glitters as well as some ultra chrome flakies throughout.

This is 1 coat over black.  (I didn't fish for glitter or apply in any special way)

Over all I love this collection.  With all these crellies with flakes, I'm in absolute heaven!  My picks from are Little Bread & Butterflies and Drink Me, but you honestly can't go wrong with any of these!
The Through the Looking Glass Collection is currently available on Pahlish.com and retails for $80 for the whole set and $11 per polish.  Make sure to check out Pahlish at the following places for updates on upcoming collections, swatches, deals and more!

  10. My favorite indie! However it looks like I'll save some on my Pahlish budget this month, only 2 are must haves for me. Maybe it will even out after last month when I was ordering 3-4 Pahlish every week. :)
