SpaRitual Imagine Collection Fall 2010 (Partial)

Here's a couple of the polishes from SpaRitual's fall collection. The big standout of the collection is definitely Health, Wealth and Happiness:


Health, Wealth and Happiness. Don't mind the tipwear, this many was two days old when I took the pictures. It's a crazy-awesome duochrome in the bottle but less so on the nail. Still duochrome enough to make me love it. The base is a deep blue shimmer with purple duochrome. It reminds me of some of the old Sally Hansen Prisms layered- maybe Burgundy Orchid over black?


A World Of Compassion. A slate/periwinkle/lavender mix in a creme finish. Very soft and calming. I'm actually rather fond of this one. Understated color.

Dreams Becoming Reality. Medium teal creme, bordering on the blue side of teal. I think I like the look of teal more than I like how it looks on me. I think I have a hard time pulling off this color. That said, it's lovely to look at. It's nice to see a lighter, cleaner shade of teal, too. Seems like a lot of the ones I've seen recently are dark or dusty. This one's only a little dusty.

The formula on these was so-so. I'm not generally a fan of SpaRitual's formula- I found these to be runny. They had that 3-Free texture- runny and drippy yet thick. The opacity was varied- Health Wealth and Happiness needed three coats, A World Of Compassion needed two and Dreams Becoming Reality was an almost-one coater. I did three of all. Drying time is painfully long.

Unfortunately I don't have the rest of the shades to review so I can't comment on the collection as a whole. However, I do like these three colors. A lot of SpaRitual colors seem to be themed- most of them are calm, earthy or relaxing spa-type colors. Some of them are just Orly colors in a prettier bottle. One thing I'm noticing about this brand (still new to me) is that the names veer dangerously close to Misa-Cheese territory.

(These were sent to me for review.)
