Hello lovelies,

Today I have here one really pretty shade from SpaRitual Metal Collection for Autumn/Winter 2012. I've picked this one up at the Olympia Beauty Show in September because I have a soft spot for inky blue polishes, especially if they have a jelly formula!

Osmium - blackened ink blue jelly. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Such a vampy, deep shade! It looks almost black in certain angles but I don't mind as I love the dark blue shades in it that show in artificial light and in the sun. This is the ultimate winter shade for me together with some dark berry shades!

The formula was very good for a jelly polish. It applied well and I did not experience any patching. The pigmentation is quite good too, I'm wearing two thick coats. You might want to do three regular coats though. It dried average to slower (probably because of the thick coats) and removal was quite easy. I'm not wearing any topcoats and as you can see the polish is extra glossy.

I'm a bit confused about the polish name as Osmium seems to be of a shiny silver colour (very pretty btw)

If you live in UK you can purchase SpaRitual polishes at sparitual.co.uk or at sparitual.com if you live in US. If you live outside UK or US you can shop at Feelunique.com. They ship worldwide for free.

Hello lovelies,

If you've liked the Autumn splatter manicure from few days ago you'll probably like this one too. I love it!

Here's how you do it:
Start with applying two coats of SpaRitual Marble. When the polish is completely dry you can start applying the gold colour. Put two drops of Aurum on non-porous surface (eg. Back of a stamping plate, plastic re-sealable bag, piece of aluminium foil). Use a corner of makeup sponge and dab the gold polish on ¾ of the nail. Always dab first on the first half of the nail and when the colour payoff is not strong continue towards the cuticle creating gradient effect. Repeat this with Conduit, bronze shade.  At last repeat the process with Rusted Lux which you’ll dab only to the tips of the nail and a little bit towards the middle of the nail. Then use a drinking straw and dip it into the black nail polish and blow over the nail. Repeat this as many times as you need till you get the desired splatter effect. When dry apply topcoat to seal the manicure.

 And thi is the look before adding the black splatter
