This is the wonderful shade called Dynamics, from SpaRitual’s Spring 2015 collection, Rhythm. It’s quite a difficult colour to describe, but my best effort is that it is a dusky, pale pinky-lilac creme. I can’t quite decide if it’s pink or lilac, but either way it’s right up my alley and a gorgeous colour for […] Read more
SpaRitual has released a new winter collection, called Snow Globe. It consists of three top coat polishes: Snow Globe, First Snow and Starry Winter Night. I received First Snow to review. It’s a clear polish, dense with holographic glitters, and with a sprinkling of tiny white square glitters. I love square glitters, and who doesn’t […] Read more
Today I have another polish from the new, summer 2014 Drift collection by SpaRitual. This is Barefoot, a sand-coloured polish with micro and tiny gold glitters, as well as small orange hex glitters. Like all glitter polishes, it dries with a slightly textured finish, and I’m sure you could leave it this way – it […] Read more
Today I have a new polish from SpaRitual‘s Spring 2014 collection, Explore. Uncharted is a bright cerise (SpaRitual describes it as a fuchsia) with a subtle blue shimmer and it’s just gorgeous. It’s bright and cheerful and perfect for chasing away the misery of winter and all the rain we’ve been having in the UK […] Read more
Today’s prompt in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge is Winter Characters. I did these nails back at the end of October, on top of my SpaRitual Intellect manicure. The blue and shimmer of Intellect reminded me of a wintry sky, so I thought I’d add something Christmassy, and penguins seemed an easy choice. […] Read more
It’s the penultimate day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge and today the prompt is shapes. I was looking back over the manicures I’ve done for this challenge and it was very apparent that I’ve hardly used green or yellow in my manicures. I love yellow, so that surprised me; but I don’t […] Read more
This is a second polish from the latest collection from SpaRitual. It’s Tango, from the Dance collection. I did three coats for this, and it definitely needed it. It’s much more sheer than Cha Cha Cha. Although I did do thin coats, and could probably have achieved opaque coverage in two thick coats. This is […] Read more
SpaRitual has launched a new, special edition collection of textured glitter polishes, called the Dance Collection. This is Cha Cha Cha, a gorgeous lilac colour, with an intense glittery sparkle. I adore it. I love how the rubberised handles of SpaRitual polishes help you to maintain an even stroke, but it’s not necessary with this […] Read more
Day 18 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge calls for a manicure featuring two patterns. I was going to do dots and stripes, but it kind of evolved into dotted flowers and stripes instead when I saw this post and wanted to copy the flowers. I started off with a base of OPI […] Read more
Intellect is my second polish from the just launched SpaRitual Illuminate Christmas 2013 collection. The collection comprises six polishes that “borrow luminous colour from the master glassmakers of Italy. Cool electric hues reflect a rich heritage of craftsmanship. Iridescent shades catch and play with light. Recycled glass beads magnify vibrant colours.” Intellect is a sheer […] Read more
