Hello lovelies,

Hope you're all well! I've prepared another patterned manicure for today ;)

I've combined the Zoya Awaken collection shades Brooklyn, Hudson, Dillon and Rebel into this pastel shimmer manicure. I've used the dry brush technique to create basically an empty, pastel rainbow coloured canvas...

EDIT: I've created tutorial for the dry brush technique and I show there how I've created this particular pastel look:

Then I've painted the triangle pattern freehand over the pastel background using black acrylic paint and striping and detailing brush.

As a last touch I've added gold round studs from Born Pretty Store stud wheel. Don't forget you can use 10% discount code LUHH10 when you shop there!

Hope you liked today's manicure and let me know what you would paint over that pastel background! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I've got here another new SpaRitual polish from the Quest collection called Beyond.

About the collection:

"Six dramatic and highly textured nail lacquers offer a complex though optimistic view of what we might find as we head out into the world. Multiple layers of glitter and color reflect the emotions we face as we set out on our own personal journey to find abundance, knowledge and acceptance. Join us. Be fearless. Quest Glitter Special Edition Collection"

Beyond - black jelly base with silver hex glitter and round and hex magenta glitter. The black jelly base isn't hugely pigmented so I have applied one coat of Beyond over black polish. It applied lovely and without troubles and you can see how much glitter you get in one coat. It dried a bit gritty so topcoat is a must.

Beyond is such a lovely mix, it completely suits the name. I think it is better layered because if two or three coats were applied I think the surface would be too gritty. I've also applied matte topcoat and it looked really cool but I had some white specks in the matte topcoat which destroyed the look so no pics, sorry. Try it for yourself ;)

SpaRitual Quest collection and other polishes are available at Sparitual (UK), Feelunique.com and SpaRitual (US). 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
