SpaRitual Holiday 2012 : Metal collection review + swatches

          Now that the little ghosts and goblins of Halloween have passed us by, November is upon us. That means the holiday season is now in full swing! I thought the perfect way to celebrate would be to share the SpaRitual Holiday 2012 Metal collection with you today. The SpaRitual holiday collection has an eye-catching set of metal-inspired colors that are both festive and unexpected (there is not a red or green in sight)!

        The SpaRitual Holiday 2012 Metal collection consists of six nail lacquers: Silver, Titanium, Bismuth, Copper, Casseterite, and Osmium. The bottles have a nice rounded shape with brown rubbery caps. The shapes, texturized siding, and rubbery feel of the caps make it easy to get a secure hold while applying nail polish. The application brush inside each bottle has a rounded shape and is easy to use.

         Below, you can see a promotional postcard for the line. The contrast between the copper sphere and the scalloped details of the stormy grey dress and nails make for a stunning image. It highlights the different textures and finishes found in this nail polish collection.

         The SpaRitual Metal Collection for Holiday 2012 has a variety of colors and finishes. Silver is a pure metallic silver that looks a lot like its precious metal counterpart. Titanium is a metallic steely (or rather titanium-y) grey. Bismuth is a shimmery pink-purple with some golden-green duochrome. It's complex, just like its elemental counterpart. Copper is a beautiful metallic copper with microscopic sliver flecks. Cassiterite is a pale platinum gold with golden glitter. It reminds me so much of a golden holiday ornament. The finish is lightly textured due to the glitter, but in a good non-flaking kind of way. It looks nice alone or with a glossy topcoat. Osmium is a dark blue creme that reminds me of a night sky. SpaRitual nail polishes are 3-Free and vegan.

          The SpaRitual Metal collection (Holiday 2012) is a collection with unexpected colors and sophisticated finishes. It's an off-the-beaten path and refreshing take for a holiday nail polish collection. I love the simple-chic idea of an element inspired collection. After all, the most beautiful inspirations are oft found in the colors of nature. My current favorites are Silver, Copper, and Cassiterite, though I'll be sure to reach for the others as we get deeper into winter.  Thanks for reading! Which colors from the SpaRitual Metal collection catch your eye? What are your favorite SpaRitual colors? What holiday nail collections have you been eyeing this year?

Love, Dovey.
