April Duo Extravaganza and Elevation Guest Duo!

Hi all! So I know that you're all very excited and curious so I'm going to cut straight to the important info!

April Restock Information

For the month of April we're doing things just a little differently. Instead of a full collection this month we wanted to celebrate the year anniversary of our monthly polish duos. For April only we will be restocking our shop with all of the past duos from this year! These will only be available during April and once April ends they will be discontinued permanently!

Available April 4th, 7 pm central time
This includes the following duos, links lead to swatches:


Now for the info that I know you've all been waiting for!

April Duo Featuring Elevation Polish
We wanted to do something special for April to celebrate the year anniversary of our duos. The duos are something that I really love doing each month and I knew this one had to be big. So big that I enlisted the help of my very favorite polish maker and good friend Lu from Elevation!

Lu and I have worked together in the past but never in the same room. She was gearing up to take her April vacation and we seized the opportunity to really sit down together and work side by side. Lu made the long journey from Minnesota to visit us here at Pahlish headquarters and chaos ensued! She took the Pahlish team camping which is another story all together! =P

Lu and I worked side by side to formulate this duo based on our current shared obsession with soft colors and subtle sparkle. Our names are unconventional but we wanted them to really be true to our shared sense of humor and our polish making romance that we sometimes like to share with our fanbases!

Without further ado, here are the fruits of our labor! <3

"Budding Bromance Duo" 



Romance: Light and airy grey with copper microshimmer and blue and green shimmer




Bromance: Clear topper with winter white squares and hex, sparse matte grey glitter, scattered red-green shifting flakies, in a soft holographic shimmered base




Availability:
  April 4th, 7 pm central time

These will be spread over the April restocks and will be restocked in limited quantities on April 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th at 7 pm central at www.pahlish.com

Swatches coming soon!
