Is this the hottest pink you have ever seen: Spa Ritual Imaginarium

I have been meaning to write an account of IMATS and the ABBW; however, the weekend has left me feeling rather shattered. You see, when it comes to excitement levels my development stunted when I was about 6 years old leaving me with an extremely low excitement threshold. I bounce off walls knowing I have a haircut coming up and I am a nightmare to be around on birthday eve or Christmas eve. So you can only imagine what I was like the night before ABBW. I was literally wide awake, too excited to sleep, at 3.00am and had to get up at 5.45am when our alarm clock, otherwise know as The Crazy Kid, went off. I was then at ABBW from 8.00am until 10.15pm when I had to leave the Gala dinner due to extreme exhaustion...but do know what, I was still too excited and hyped up to sleep and spent the night having those stupid hallucination dreams where you are not quite awake, not quite asleep. Naturally it was beauty products that I was dreaming about! I think I got a total of six hours sleep in two nights - whilst I might have the excitement levels of a 6 year old, I most definitely have the body and energy levels of a 31 year old.

So, until I can stay awake later than 8.00pm in the evenings, I thought that I'd do a quick post on a nail polish that I picked up at IMATS. Its called Imaginarium by Spa Ritual and it is the hottest pink shade that I have ever come across. I was a massive tomboy as a kid and so pink was always my most hated colour. I have always had a fetish for bright colours and sometime when I was in my 20's I had a light bulb moment - pink is probably the brightest of bright colours. From that moment on my pink phobia was over I embraced it in a way that would make Barbie proud.

This was also my first encounter with Spa Ritual polishes. They were $11.95 at IMATS, though I believe are ordinarily $19.95 for 15ml. They are vegan plus are DBP, formaldehyde and toluene free.

This manicure took 3 coats to achieve streak free application and I haven't bothered applying a top or base coat.  In natural light it is pure hot pink though in unnatural evening light a slight blue base can be detected.

I love this colour!






Have you discovered a hotter pink nail polish?

Yeah, I nearly missed them too. I thought that i should do one final lap since i hadnt bought anything then came across the spa ritual stand. I had actually not heard of this brand before so it was a great little find.

It was great meeting you too!

I really want to try Spa Ritual polishes but it seems like you can't buy them in Australia unless you work in the beauty industry (or went along to IMATS). I might have to order a few online since they're meant to be great.
Looks gorgeous! I love bright nail polish colours, and perfect for spring. Great choice!!

Me too! I remember wearing an electric blue when I was about 14 and a man came up to tell me that was very extroverted of my. Kind of scared me off brights for a little while. Now they are all people wear and it makes ne do happy!!

Beautiful beautiful colour!
I'm still wearing an electric lime on my nails as a result of a lime themed house warming party on the weekend. Am really loving electric hues in cosmetics, clothes and shoes at the mo!
IMATS sounded amazing!
That colour perfectly matches a lipstick balm that I make! There are days when I like to be all matchy matchy.
How is the wear on this brand? I might have to source them out. At the moment I am the sheepish owner of only two pink nailpolishes so that colour would definately fill a spot in my collection.
Without the proper hard working the society members cannot able to become successful and developed. The development of the society depends on the hard working of the people of the society.
