Estée Lauder Smashed and Chaos Metal Mania polish swatches

Estée Lauder Smashed. Two coats.

Estée Lauder Chaos. Three coats.

Pahlish Sullen Girl over Chaos. One coat.

These are from Estée Lauder's new Metal Mania collection. I picked these up at Nordstrom and I do not believe they are limited edition. The formula was good on both of them.

Pahlish Dark Parades. Three coats. My version is a lot bluer than other swatches I've seen. Dark Parades is usually a purple. The glitter is a bit challenging to apply so I added some thinner and it helped significantly. I really like the flecks in this.

Pahlish Great Wide Open and Kleancolor Born to the Purple. One coat each over black. Born to the Purple has large and small fuchsia hexes in a tinted base. 

Pahlish Great Wide Open over Sephora by OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It. One coat. I love this polish. The white mixed with all the colors and shapes.

Pahlish Fire in the Taco Bell. Three coats. 

Fire in the Taco Bell over OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? One coat.

Pahlish Lovesong Writer. Three coats. I had a hard time getting this one smooth. There were a few curling glitters in it. The large hex glitter and bar glitter in particular.

Lovesong Writer over American Apparel Downtown LA.  Two coats.

Overall, I was a bit disappointed with these. The only one I liked was Great Wide Open. My Dark Parades was a blue rather than purple and difficult to apply. Lovesong Writer was also a bit difficult for me to apply and the curling glitter did not help.

SpaRitual Earth Matters and Rhythm of Life swatches

SpaRitual Earth Matters. Three coats. This is like a green version of OPI Absolutely Alice.

Lynnderella I Can Afford It! over Earth Matters. One coat. 

SpaRitual Rhythm of Life. Three coats. This one is not teal. I took too many pictures of this and they all came out this way. It is an emerald green. If I was photoshop savvy I would fix it, but alas I am not.

Pahlish Prayers for Rain over Rhythm of Life. One coat.

Indies: Smitten Polish, Pahish, and Candeo swatches

Smitten Aquarius. Three coats. Very nice formula.

Pahlish Prayers for Rain over Aquarius. One coat.

Smitten Hydrangea. Three coats. I love periwinkle shades! Great formula as well.

Candeo Joker over Hydrangea. One coat.

These are my first two Smitten polishes and they did not disappoint. I was impressed with how nice the formula was (as I am a bit finicky when it comes to how thin I like my polishes) and I adore the colors and glitter combinations.

Pahlish Train Underwater. Three coats.

Finger Paints Motley over Train Underwater. One coat. I like the green that this added.

Pahlish Sitting in a Tin Can. Three coats.

Icing Mr Right Now. Two coats.

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless over Mr Right Now. Two coats.

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless over Milani Fresh Teal. Two coats of each.

Illamasqua Swinger. Two coats.

Pahlish Sunlight Shooting Through Pine Trees over Swinger. Three coats.

One coat of Sunlight Shooting Through Pine Trees over two coats of OPI Fly. This one reminds me of Chanel Illusion D'Or without the blue glitter. This is one of her underrated polishes yet one of my favorites. Sadly, it has been discontinued.

Pahlish Glittoris. Two coats.

Pahlish Total Eclipse of the Heart over Glittoris. One coat.

Total Eclipse of the Heart. Three coats, but I dabbed to get the glitters where I wanted them afterwards.

Old version of Pahlish Total Eclipse of the Heart. Two coats. This one had curly red bar glitter so it was reformulated. I like it too much to get rid of it, curly glitter and all. 

Nails Inc Princes Arcade over Total Eclipse of the Heart. One coat.

Pahlish Bixby Canyon Bridge. Two coats. This is like a upgraded version of Deborah Lippmann Superstar. This has also been discontinued. 

Sephora by OPI Don't Be Eggnog-ious over Bixby Canyon Bridge. One coat.

Pahlish Endless Static Sea over Orly After Party. One coat. I've posted this one before and you can see the Orly alone here.

Pahlish polishes can be found at her Etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/pahlish

Indies: Rainbow Honey, Pahlish, HARE, and more

BB Couture. Frosty Meadow. Three coats.

Nail Venturous Floam over Frosty Meadow. One coat.

Cult Nails Let Me Fly. Two coats.

Rainbow Honey Koi Pond over Let Me Fly. One coat.

Finger Paints Pink Imagination layered with Rainbow Honey Hanami. One coat of Hanami and two coats of Pink Imagination. Hanami was super thick so I added some thinner before using it.

HARE Afterglow. Three coats.

Revlon Gold Coast over Afterglow. One coat.

HARE The Monster. Three coats. The first time I wore this as a mani it was really thick. For this swatch I added some thinner and it was perfect.

NYC Skin Tight Denim. One coat and only .93 cents! And why does it say creme on the bottle? lol

Medicredfearn Frank's Red Hot over Skin Tight Denim. Two coats.

OPI Skull & Glossbones layered with Rainbow Honey God of Destiny. Two coats for S&G and one coat for God of Destiny.

Then I added one coat of Rainbow Honey Koi Pond over it all.

Orly After Party. Two coats.

Pahlish Endless Static Sea over After Party. One coat. 

Petites 587 Sherbet. Two coats. This reminds me of a shimmer version of China Glaze Strawberry Fields. 

Medicredfearn Whale You Be My Valentine? over Sherbet. Ang made two bottles and her bottle is called I Dolphinately Will. One coat. 

OPI Heart of Gold and OPI Starbright Sparkles I over it all. One coat of each. Nice subtle effect. 

I didn't think it would be so opaque at first, so here it is two coats alone. 

SpaRitual Alchemy over Whale You Be My Valentine? One coat. 

The Hungry Asian Twenty Ten. Three coats. 

Rainbow Honey Sakura Matsuri over Twenty Ten. One coat. Loooove the flower glitters!!

The rest of these I've posted before but I thought it would be nice to have all my Rainbow Honey swatches in one post. 

One coat of Rainbow Honey Siren Song over three coats of Manglaze Ilf.

One coat of Rainbow Honey Snake Eyes over three coats of Manglaze Nawsome Sauce. The formula on Snake Eyes and Siren Song were terrible. It was like oatmeal. I had to decant some of the polish just to add enough thinner to them to make them usable. 

One coat of Rainbow Honey God of Destiny over two coats of Santorum.

One coat of Rainbow Honey Frozen Flame over three coats of Manglaze The Death Tar.

One coat of Rainbow Honey Unstealable Jewel over three coats of Manglaze Blue.
