Hello lovelies,

Hope you've had a great weekend! I've been busy swatching and taking a new video tutorial that will hopefully be up during February. I've already shared sneak peek on my Instagram account ;)

Today I have opted for a textured leopard print manicure in warm tropical colours...

I have used SpaRitual Wilderness (reviewed here) as a base colour. Then I've used Zoya Miranda and Solange to paint irregular patches. Once I was happy with the mix of colours, I've used dotting tool and black Zoya Dahlia and painted leopard print.

The midi rings I'm wearing are again from an Etsy seller DellyDumpling (UK) which I've purchased.

Hope you've liked the look and will come back tomorrow ;) Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I'm excited to show you a new nail polish from the SpaRitual’s Spring 2014 Collection Explore that is coming out in the next week or so! The collection consists of six shades in various finishes including creme, shimmer and finish.

"Bright orange, blue, pink and shimmering violet bring to mind colours found while exploring a North American Forest. Inspired by birds, butterflies and the whimsied nostalgia of national parks and the family campsite. SpaRitual’s Spring Collection catches the bright flashes of colour that punctuate the rich, earthy colours of a well-worn hiking trail. We take only inspiration and photos, leaving the butterflies, birds and wildflowers to delight the hikers and explorers who travel the trail after us."

Wilderness is a coral-peach polish with fine gold particles that dries into a textured finish. The formula was good to apply but slightly thicker; I find all textured polishes to be generally quite thick. The polish dried reasonably fast but as always textured polishes need a bit more time to harden because you're not using top coat. Then there is removal which is a bit like removing glitters but not as stubborn. I always hold the pad with remover on nails for about 2 minutes and then wipe it off with light pressure.

Overall, I like the texture and the formula and I would be happy to purchase some of the other polishes in the collection.

I've paired Wilderness with a sparkly gold background (jumper from Primark lol) and peach-coloured ring also from Primark which cost just £1.50 - bargain! Hope you like the pictures despite my red hands (it was freezing cold outside) and will stay tuned for some nail art with this polish!

SpaRitual Explore collection is available at Sparitual (UK), Feelunique.com and SpaRitual (US).
