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 :)

Hello lovelies,

 

I hope you are not fed up with duo/multichrome polishes because I still love them so much and I have here another nail art manicure with them ;)

 

This time I've paired up Dance Legend Celia (reviewed here) with gold foil and gold buttons/studs. I'm so in love with the result, let's have a look...

I have used one coat of Dance Legend Celia over black (A England Camelot) as a base. Then I've applied nail glue and gold foil from Rio Beauty Nail Foil set in an uneven and irregular pattern creating patchy and distressed look.

 

The last element of the design are gold plastic studs I purchased at Born Pretty Store (10% discount code LUHH10). I stuck them with top coat. The whole manicure is not topcoated to show off the metallic gold effect but you could seal it with water-based topcoat or I've heard Picture Polish Revolution works well as topcoat for nail foils.

 

What do you think? Would you wear this bold nail design?

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
