A Year’s Challenge: Week 10: Polka Dot Nails

Heyhey! This week’s challenge was polka dots. Simple, right?

Not when you have my brain trying to over complicate everything. I do have a question though…

How often do you do your nails and think they look pretty good, then upload the pictures and think what a hot mess they are?

For me this happens every time. I think I have done a pretty good job, then bam!

Anyways…

For this week’s challenge, I had some SpaRitual polishes from Apothica needing some reviews and I though what better way to use them.

See, I’m not so sure this looks as good as I imagined it did, lol.

For my base, I used…GEDC5546

SpaRitual Spirit, which is a matte dark purple color. It was very easy to apply and went on great. As with all matte polishes I have met, it does show any flaws in the nail amplified. The thing about this polish that I like the most though…

It lasted forever. Mattes generally chip fairly quick, but not this one. I have had it on for 3 days and have no signs of wear at all!

For my dots I used…GEDC5555

SpaRitual Emerald City a turquoisey green creme, Swept Away a pastel pink creme, and Chill a light medium purple crème.

So what do you think of my polka dots? Was it a hit or a miss, lol?

Oh, one more thing before I go. I thought it would be nice to keep you updated on Boo’s nails.

This weekend he chose SpaRitual Body. He was actually what helped me decide to do this post as a review, lol.

I noticed with this one it seems to have some areas where it didn’t turn matte (Is this normal?). I thought that was a little odd, but overall I liked it. It has lasted as good as Spirit.

Boo wanted some stamping! Ain’t they cute?

If you are interested in any of the polishes used for this post you can find them at Apothica.com. I hope everyone has enjoyed and had a nice weekend! Toodles!!!
