Hello lovelies,

 

SpaRitual is constantly creating new, amazing collections...the one I'll focus on today is called Quest Colection.

 

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"

 

Today I'm swatching Trail Blazer - a chic taupe creme base full of matte white bar glitter and gold sparkly flecks. I've applied two thicker coats for the coverage you see in the pictures. The formula was quite thick so it was almost impossible to apply thin coats. It was easier to work with when applying thicker coats. It dried quite fast and gritty so I've applied two coats of Seche Vite topcoat. Despite the thick formula, the result was gorgeous and unique so I can live with that :)

The last picture shows Trail Blazer with matte finish which beautifully shows off the gold sparkles and bar glitter. I actually liked the matte version a bit more :)

 

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

Hello lovelies,

 

I want to show you another manicure where I've used the white one stroke floral pattern (done before here) but this time over pink and blue pastel gradient.

 

I really like how soft and romantic thic manicure looks. I have used Barielle Pink Flip-Flops, China Glaze Kinetic Candy and China Glaze Fairy Dust glitter topper for the base. Then I've used white acrylic paint and one stroke brush to paint the floral pattern.
