Showing posts with label shimmer

Hello lovelies, how are you all? I'm right now in the middle of moving home so I have no time at all to write posts or do new swatches. However I found some time to swatch these two beauties - SpaRitual Love Your Planet collection! If you love green..and even if it's not your cup of tea, check them out, they are just gorgeous!

The mini collection consists of two shades of green - Earth Matters and Greenhouse. Just in case you don't know that, SpaRitual nail polishes are VEGAN and eco-friendly.

Earth Matters - green and gold glittery particles in a green jelly. The green colour is nice and fresh, very nice shade.  I needed only two coats for a full coverage so the pigmentation is good. The formula is a bit runny but nothing too bad, just make sure you don't have nail polish dripping from the brush. The polish dries a bit gritty and matte but once you'll use a top coat, it will transform to this absolutely stunning green!

Greenhouse - light green with fine gold and green particles. The glitter particles are much finer than in Earth Matters polish.  Pigmentation is again good, I've applied two coats and it was absolutely enough. Formula is very nice as well, it applies easy but it's a little streaky though. The finish is nice without top coat but I've used it anyway.

There's one more thing you should check out, though. The cute packaging! It has so many little details and you can also grow a plant from it! Yes, you've heard right! There is a seed hidden inside the packaging and you can grow a plant from it! Also the portion of the sales will go to TreePeople to help plant new trees!

Hello everyone! I don't own many Zoya polishes because they are not easy to get in UK and if they are available they are overpriced. So today I will show you my last Zoya polish I own and haven't swatched yet. Meet SARAH. Sarah comes from Fire & Ice Holiday collection 2010. She is a rich shimmery pinkish-red beauty in an elegant glass bottle. Lot of people say about her that she is deep wine red and with gold shimmer...well don't believe them, my Sarah is very much with pink shimmer and with a tiny little gold in the bottle which does not translate on the nail.

Now seriously :)....it applied very nicely as most Zoya's do and pigmentation was all right. I've applied two thicker coats for a full coverage. The pictures were taken after two days of wearing as you have probably noticed the tipwear. Nothing major though....polish started to chip after four days which is about average for me. The removal was a little bit harder because of the shimmery particles which behaved little bit like glitters. Overally it is a very nice colour (not unique but very nice), good quality and if I'll get a chance to purchase more Zoya's, I will.
