Pahlish is one of those brands that always seems to have a sneaky flakie, shimmer or glitter that is nearly impossible to capture on camera. I thought Black Licorice Bats was going to be a pretty purple leaning charcoal holo, but I had no idea that it had sneaky flashes of purple glitter hidden within the holo. Those extra "surprises" are one of the things that make me return to a brand.
