SpaRitual Optical Illusion


















I picked this one up because I thought it was such an "ugly-pretty" color.  I was right.  After one coat of this, I was ready to chuck it.  It was a gross, watery, spinach green.  But, with a second and a third coat, the beauty in this one still came out.  It's still a bit like a shimmery swamp, but it's pretty, nonetheless.  Optical Illusion is a swampy, murky, military green with tons of tonal green and golden shimmer.  It in the bottle, it looks like there may be some blue shimmer, but that doesn't translate to the nail.  While I do like it, and it is a green that I can wear with my skintone, it's still not something I see myself wearing all the time.  Pic is 3 coats.  Formula was a bit watery.

SpaRitual is available at online boutiques, like Apothica.com.

Optical Illusion was purchased by me using an Apothica.com gift card.

Zoya B1G2 Sale on Giftsets

I just wanted to a quick post to let you guys know of this great Zoya sale.  Through Monday, they are offering B1G2 on selected gift items (click to go to sale).  There's actually a really good selection of items, with some of them even being nail polish gift sets (including a nail polish and a lip gloss).  Faced with a multitude of teacher gifts, I picked up 9 Smart Spa sets with a bottle of Zoya Lauren for $61.  Not including the polish, which I mainly got to get me the free shipping, each gift was $6.  That's far less than other stuff I was looking at and comparable with making cookies or another homemade gift.  Plus, I get to be the "oh you shouldn't have" super-thoughtful mom!  Yay!

Sale ends 11/29/10 an there is no coupon code.  Discount is automatically applied.
