Hello lovelies,

today I want to show you more Cadillacquer polishes. Cadillacquer is a Switzerland indie brand and the person behind this brand is lovely Madeleine.

These look very unique to me, I don't have anything similar in my nail polish stash. You can check out review of four different shades here.

Lucy's Stash - Cadillacquer polishes

So It Begins - grey jelly base with purple shimmer, white, purple and grey glitter. This polish didn't 'stand out from the crowd' for me but once I've painted it I really like the result. The formula was easy-going..it applied nicely and dried quite fast. I've applied two thicker coats for full coverage. I needed a topcoat as it dried little bit gritty but nothing terrible.

Life's Too Short - blue-grey base with medium and dark blue glitter. Another very unusual mix that works very well together. It's all cool tones so I don't think it would go well with very tanned hands. The formula is good as with the other polishes - it applies well and two coats are enough for full coverage.

Tell It To The Frogs - blue-ish green jelly with blue shimmer and white glitter. This polish is a bit on the sheer side so I've layered it over Barielle Blue Cotton Candy which was very close to the base colour of Tell It To The Frogs. It applied easily and dried fast but I had to fish out the big white glitter.

Say The Word - greenish yellow jelly base with navy blue and silver glitter. I like this polish a lot, it somehow reminds me of Easter. The formula of the polish is thicker but ok to work with. I've applied two thicker coats. They dried fast and slightly gritty so I needed to apply topcoat.

As always, I was happy with these - formula is very good and the colours are unusual. Each bottle of Cadillacquer has 15ml and black ridged cap that makes opening the polishes easy.

You can purchase Cadillacquer polishes in Madeleine's Etsy store and they are also available at Harlow & Co. Polishes are priced between $12-14 and international shipping is available. Stay up to date at Cadillacquer Facebook page.

Hello lovelies,

I've got here the whole SpaRitual Reflect Collection to review! This collection has been released earlier this year for the Summer 2013 season. At first glance the colour seem rather for Autumn/Fall rather than for Summer.

From SpaRitual press release: "Bask in the warmth of SpaRitual Summer 2013 collection, Reflect. Catch the radiant jewel-tones of late afternoon and the last shimmers of water and sky at sunset. Each of the SpaRitual Nail Lacquers – Reflect Collection is infused with Bamboo. This Bamboo is sustainably gathered from India and islands of the Pacific Ocean, Bamboo is known to absorb water and oil from the nail bed increasing the thickness of the nail for up to 35% stronger nails."

Freedom -  brownish purple with fuchsia and blue particles. The formula of the polish was quite thick so I've had to apply thicker coats to avoid patching. Two coats provided full coverage but dried rather average. The finish was satin so you will need layer of topcoat if you want a glossy finish.  Removal of the polish was ok but the blue and fuchsia particles were causing problems, sticking to skin.

Inner Beauty - multichrome foil with colour ranging from brown-green to pink. The multichrome effect is much stronger in the bottle and does not translate on the nail very much. It applied well and dried fast. I'm wearing two coats.

Joy - beige creme with pale gold glass flecks. This colour doesn't stand out for me at all even though it quite matched my skin tone. The formula was good - it applied well and dried quite fast. I needed two thicker coats for full coverage.

Innocence - beige creme. This shade is pretty for office friendly or mannequin hands. The formula was on the thicker side and quite hard to work with. It dries fast which in some cases caused patching. I've had to apply thicker coats for nail polish to look nice.

Kindness -burnt orange creme with gold particles. I'd wear this nail polish in Autumn or around Halloween. The formula was very nice - it applied easily and the pigmentation is great. I'm wearing two regular coats but it was almost one coater. I've had some issues when removing the polish as the gold particles seemed to stick to my nail and skin, really hard to get rid off.

Positive Vibe - mustard yellow creme. Ummm...not a colour I would pick out of the rack and it is more suitable for Autumn I'd think. However the formula is very nice. It applied easily, two coats were enough for full coverage and they dried fast.

This collection was somehow disappointing. I would like to see totally different colours, more cheerful and bright. The formulas differed polish from polish which I'm not a big fan either. Some of the shades like Kindness, Freedom and Inner Beauty appealed to me much more than the rest.

I've seen some upcoming SpaRitual collections containing glitters and some bright colours so I'm very much looking forward to them!

You can get these wherever SpaRitual polishes are sold and at:
UK: SpaRitual UK website,
US: SpaRitual US website
....and at  FeelUnique
