sparitual - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you another SpaRitual shade from the Rock collection for this fall and a dotticure I've done with it. Few days ago I've reviewed Lithophonic from the same collection and you can read the review here. Today's shade is called Basalt and it's also very interesting.

For this dotticure I've used dotting tools and SpaRitual shades in Basalt, Optical Illusion and Back To Your Roots. The smallest white dots are done with Essence White Stamping polish.

Lucy's Stash - Nail art dotticure with SpaRitual Basalt

Basalt - blue-ish dark grey jelly-creme. The formula is a bit strange - it's something between jelly and creme finish. Despite being half-jelly, it applied very easily. The pigmentation is little lower but two thicker coats were enough. You might consider applying three thin coats for faster drying. I'm also wearing a topcoat and it removed very easily

*This shade was sent to me for a review

Hello lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting, work has been absolutely crazy lately! I want to show you today the first shade from SpaRitual Rock collection for Fall 2012. You can read about the colours and inspiration behind the collection here. Interesting is that each polis is infused with Rhyolite (volcanic magma) from the Lipari Islands. The shade I'll show you is called Lithophonic.

I wanted to know what Lithophonic means so I did a little bit of research. Translator and Google didn't find anything but I found out that 'lithophone' is a musical instrument consisting of rock or rock pieces. So there is my sought after connection to this collection!

Lithophonic - dark green shimmer with earthy brown hues. It was really hard to describe this colour, just look at it! It's really strange shade with lots of shimmery particles in it. In the bottle, Lithophonic seems to be a bit duochrome but it does not show on the nail. The polish itself has a very good pigmentation and it's almost one-coater. I'm wearing two coats just to get the perfect coverage. It applied very easily and dried fast.

Oh and you should really click on the pics and click once more to maximise them because Blogger ruined the quality :( They look so much better when they were not compressed by Blogger.
