Elevation Pahlish Romantic Night in the Desert Duo

Love life a little...dry? Sick of candlelight and long walks on the beach? Looking for something to literally heat things up? How about a romantic night in the desert?

      So maybe you don't exactly want to recreate this scene from The Mummy on your next date night. Understandable. Unless being chased around by undead things wrapped in linen is what turns you on. I won't judge. But you will want to scroll down and dig up the treasure I have to show you.

The Romantic Night in the Desert collaboration duo was a limited edition Valentine's collaboration between Elevation Polish and Pahlish consisting of Mt. Carmel, a (very appropriately named) caramelly pink shade with iridescent pink and gold flakies, and Coral Pink Sand Dunes, a mix of brown, copper, gold and pink glitters (including circle glitters!). Shown is 3 coats of Mt. Carmel alone on second and pinky fingers, and  2 coats of Coral Pink Sand Dunes over 2 coats of Mt. Carmel on the rest.

Both of these applied smoother than caramel, without the stickiness or calories of actual caramel. This duo is no longer available, but you can unearth many other treasures at both the Pahlish and Elevation Polish sites. Stalk the Elevation Polish blog and Pahlish Facebook for previews and updates!

Elevation Polish Lys Glacier

Who loves summer? Skeeters! Humidity! Sleepless nights lacking in air conditioning!

                   Unearthed from this crypt.

That would be me at the moment. In case it isn't glaringly obvious by now I am not a fan of summer. I'd rather live in the freezer section of ShopRite for those three months than deal with the heat, and humidity makes me more restless than the Real Housewives of New Jersey (yay for my home state). It doesn't take an astrophysicist to figure out my undead complexion burns in the sun. Not to mention the local mosquitoes give me a high Zagat rating. Fate must have a real sense of humor because I was born smack in the middle of July. 

Speaking of freezers and things that are frozen, I have a glacier for you today. Elevation Polish Lys Glacier. I'd take a real iceberg with that, but technology hasn't come to the point where you can fit one of those into a 15ml bottle. The actual Lys Glacier is (where) Plus with an average heat index of 95 around here it looks really appetizing right about now.
I borrowed a whole iceberg.

Lys Glacier is a dusky lavender creme with purple microflakies that are just slightly darker. In certain lights you can see sparks of a shimmer that flashes somwhere between purple and magenta, which sets it apart from others in this color family that I already have in my hoard. 

                                 

 

Tried another angle to capture the shimmer. My camera just wouldn't cooperate with this. It got a little on the bottle, but hardly any on my nails. In real life it's much more visible, especially in sunlight!

        Brace yourself for an onslaught of spam. I got just a little obsessed with this color.

There's the shimmer!

This was a prototype that can't be recreated as is, but it very well could reappear as a final version (several of them have), so keep an eyeball out. In the meantime, find plenty of other pretties at the Elevation shop and don't forget to stalk Lulu's blog!
