Adorned Nails: SpaRitual Epicurean



Rich, broody, vampy. That’s SpaRitual Epicurean for you.



Red wine, burgundy, ordinary. Ahh, that’s also quite true.

Epicurean has a shimmer finish. While I do see its general shimmer, the individual shimmer particles that give it an inner glow aren’t so easy to discern. Unless, of course, you viewed it with flash. It’s ordinary because well, it’s no special burgundy, but still, I think it’s beautiful. I’ve always had a soft spot for burgundies.

Just like all other SpaRitual nail polishes that I’ve tried, Epicurean went on beautifully – no streaks, no fuss. Just two coats. Lovely.

I thought I’d do a bottle comparison (sorry, ladies, I’m simply too lazy to do a comparison on my nails) showing the difference in the shades of three SpaRitual colours.



L-R:
Drop Dead Gorgeous is daring, a fuschia with shimmer .
Epicurean is vampy, a burgundy with shimmer.
I Feel The Earth Move is somber, a crème blackish maroon-brown.

I thought I’d spice things up a bit with some stamping. Epicurean.....doesn’t that also mean lavish, luxurious? I must seem audacious for calling Epicurean ordinary (oops, another oxymoron!), but never mind. I’ve paired it up with a gold nail polish from SpaRitual, appropriately named Gold Digger. For the image, I’ve used the only full-nail image I’ve got, one of a viney plant. It’s from a Fauxnad plate, H28.





Well! I think Epicurean looks most suitably epicurean now!


Adorned Nails: SpaRitual Hypnotic



I’m not going to say anything cheesy with wordplay using the name of this polish. It’s tempting, but I won’t.

Hypnotic is a colour that SpaRitual released for its Winter 2009 collection. I know I’m extremely late to the party but does it matter? Besides, some of you living in the Southern Hemisphere are experiencing winter right now, so this one’s for you, ladies!


Hypnotic has been described as a charcoal brown shimmer. It’s like gunmetal with dark chocolate mixed in. This second photo (above) of the nails is truest to colour.


As base coat, I used SpaRitual’s Multi–Tasker Base & Top Coat In One. Hypnotic went on beautifully. What you see here is with two coats and no top coat. Again, these images were taken in daylight.


Hypnotic is beautifully sombre and broody. I’d be afraid to mess with its beauty.
