Pahlish Thunderous Sparks

Another great weakness of mine are any sort of red polishes. Pahlish Thunderous Sparks is an apple red jelly filled with small red square glitter and small magenta glitter and some blue tiny winies.






all of the above pictures are taken indoors in daylight, the bunch below outside in the shade




and in artificial light:

I applied two squishy jellyish coats of Thunderous Sparks over Essence Hardening Nail Base. The balance of a jelly with this amount of shimmer and glitter equals in a perfect formula to be applied smoothly and perfectly easy to control. However, it dries dull and while not gritty it will be hungry for some Top Coat fodder so I applied one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and then Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer to finish off with a glossy shine.

Final thoughts: Pahlish Thunderous Sparks is a wonderful everyday polish with a healthy dose of sparkle and shine.

I purchased Pahlish Thunderous Sparks with Pahlish Bigcartel e-shop here.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

  1. This is so pretty! I love polishes with that ultra voilet-y flash to them. Here's hoping the wear time's good because this is one I'd have to keep on for a couple days ;)

  4. "Tiny winies!" LOL!!! :D Oh my, you are too funny! I love it. :D And this really is a great red polish - classic with a fun sparkly twist, and as everyone else has said, it certainly has that sought after juicy squishyness that we all love in a good jelly. ;) My verdict: I think Thunderous Sparks looks absolutely divine on you!!

  5. This was beautiful! I really loved that the shimmer/glitter appeared blue/purple. I have always thought that blue/purple combined subtle with red/pink are great in polishes. :D

    1. Thank you my dear Gelic!!! I love that twist and turn in a red polish as well - those spacey little thingies move this red from classic classy to an entirely different level :-)
