Hello lovelies,

Before I start showing you some bright and Easter-y manicures, let's enjoy some more dark and chic colours! I always love Autumn and Winter polishes because I love wearing dark colours, especially reds and purples. So it's no surprise that I really enjoyed wearing today's manicure! It's nothing fancy but it just felt right, you know...

I've combined SpaRitual Modern Craftsman and Bright Future into one manicure and both shades nicely complement each other.

Modern Craftsman is from the Pause collection for Autumn 2015 and it's a blue-based purple shimmer with copper particles. It's a really beautiful and unique polish and I'm pleased to say it also has a nice formula. It applied nicely and was fully opaque in two coats. I needed a thicker layer of topcoat because the copper particles created slightly gritty finish.

Next, there is Bright Future from the Awakening collection for Winter 2015. This deep purple has half-jelly half-creme formula and high gloss finish. It was slightly less pigmented so I applied two thicker coats or you can do three thin coats for full opacity. It applied nicely but it's easier manageable when using a bit more polish on the brush.

So there you have it, two beautiful SpaRitual polishes that are still wearable even though it's March already! I don't think I could ever give up dark colours and you'll probably see more of them throughout the year ;)

Availability:

Hello lovelies and happy Valentine's Day!

Have you missed me? It's not very usual for me to post just once or twice a week and to me it feels like I'm neglecting my blog. So I'll have to remedy that :) Today I want to show you another beautiful piCture pOlish - Cabaret!

Cabaret is a collaboration shade with russian nail blogger u_nona, released in 2015.

"Cabaret is a dark burgundy scatter holo with a smattering of holo hex glitters." The formula was little bit thicker probably because of all the glitter but it was still manageable. I've applied two thicker coats to get full coverage. It dried fast but little bit gritty so I've applied a coat of Seche Vite topcoat because it's nice and thick and covers glitter perfectly.

Cabaret is stunning, isn't it? It's one of those purples that I couldn't resist. It was an easy choice when Jules from piCture pOlish asked me which shades I'd like to swatch :)

And a little shameless plug - have you gotten your bottle of my collaboration shade Dragonfly? Get it while it's still available! It's perfect for winter season ;)

You can purchase your bottle of piCture pOlish Cabaret or Dragonfly directly at www.picturepolish.com.au or at one of the international stockists: http://picturepolish.com.au/network. For the UK customers, there is Rainbow Connection and Sally Magpies.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
