SpaRitual - Dreamsicle

Was this a creme or a jelly; was it easy or tricky to use; was it..? I don't know. I have the memory of a goldfish. It was three coats and it was pink indeed. I do remember that. And I used an OPI ProWide to put it on, since that's my preference.

The book, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb is a 90s classic. Basically, it's about a girl who eats to hide herself and her pain. I loved it. I remember that too.

Also, this is my entry for Pink Thursday at Emma's!

SpaRitual - Lithophonic

This is a polish that looks steely grey shimmer at first sight, but the grey turns out to be a warm one, and even looks a bit brownish at times, and in some lights - green! The brush is round and short and easy to use (even for me, who is soooold on flat brushes). The formula covered in two coats, but was a tad thick I thought.

It goes well with the iPad I think, on which I'm currently reading Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel (the sequel to Wolf Hall). Both novels are Booker Prize Winners and center on the life of Thomas Cromwell, one of Henry XII's ministers. The sequel seems to actually outshine the first book in the trilogy! No mean feat!

SpaRitual - Lithophonic

A box full of polish!

I don't know why, but when (secretly) scouring the web for swatches of cool polishes, I am constantly drawn to the brands or colors that are hard to get! For me, living in Sweden, this meant pining at the Sephora store before Christmas. They don't ship here:( But! Never underestimate the wily smarts of a closet polish freak. I quickly wrote a message to my relative (it's been years since we last spoke) living in the States and asked if I could use his address for shipping. I offered Swedish gingersnaps as a bribe. Kind-hearted that he is (maybe he could sense my desperation?) he agreed, and the BOX has now reached me! This is what I got:

SpaRitual: Hypnotic, Can You Dig It?, Dreamsicle and Epicurean

Sephora by OPI: I Think I Cayenne, I'm Wired, I'm With Brad

Plus another SpaRitual that I'm writing about tomorrow. I was disappointed in the Sephora polishes because I was hoping they had the OPI Pro-wide brush. They didn't. They have a long, thin, unwieldy kind of brush that I won't use. In fact, I will switch to an OPI cap on the colors that I really like.
