A trip to the Cosmoprof booth which displayed both Orly nail polish and SpaRitual polishes and body products was both informative and exhilarating. I had just been able to purchase my first SpaRitual nail polish a week before at a Sephora out of town. I felt like I'd hit a gold mine being able to try this brand which to me was quite elusive. I'm hoping they bring it to the JC Penney Sephora in my home town.

SpaRitual has developed nail collections for 2012 based on the theme Earth Matters. This is a vegan company that has Big 3 free nail lacquers, which are eco-friendly. The current collection is called Gold. Each polish has actual gold particles in it.  It's not on-line at Sephora yet, but I really hope it makes it there because I love every one of these.



Also current is the Pigment collection, put out for summer 2012. I love beautiful rich pigments.



And coming for Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the following collection. 20% of all sales go to Cancer Schmancer, founded by cancer survivor actress Fran Drescher.  Cancer Schmancer is dedicated to saving lives thru prevention and early detection of cancer.  I've lost many people to cancer and I always like to see companies providing a portion of proceeds to cancer research and detection.



The SpaRitual collection for fall is called Rock. I see the colors on Sephora on-line, but they're not currently in stock. Metal is the Christmas collection. Do you not just LOVE the SpaRitual bottle? I love the shape and the handle. It feels so decadent to hold the bottle.

Our tour guide, John, also introduced us to the spa products. Oh my word!! They have the best hand cream that I think I've ever used. Apply it and your hands look 15 years younger. I would love to use this for every nail swatch photo I take. It would be fabulous. It smells great and feels even better.

Around the corner of the booth was the Orly display. Naturally, I about tripped over the other bloggers to get to the glitter. GLITTER. Orly had a lovely Flash Glam FX display. I would love to run into this somewhere. The only place in my town that sells Orly is Sally's, and I haven't seen a new Orly there since the original six piece Flash Glam release in the beginning of July. I am dying for more of these. Let's ooooh and ahhhh at them a little, shall we?

I missed the last photo on the lower right. The black is Orly's Liquid Vinyl, a rich black which is perfect to show off the Flash Glam FX polishes. John gave us a little flyer that shows each of the top coats, which you can also see on their website linked above.

The Orly Fired Up Collection premiers September 1, 2012, with some rich fall tones.

Halloween brings Spellbound, a nice display which repromotes three Flash Glam FX colors as well as Liquid Vinyl.

October, also being the month for Breast Cancer Awareness, showcases Orly's Pretty In Pink. The colors are Flash Glam FX colors with a nice breast cancer ribbon charm. Like their sister company SpaRitual, Orly is donating 20% of all proceeds to Cancer Schmancer.

And finally, we have the holiday 2012 collection called Naughty Or Nice. John was a total gentleman telling us he wouldn't ask which we were. Lol, I think it was pretty obvious. :)

Orly has such great Christmas collections!! I love every color in this one. I'm really looking forward to the new releases.

Which nail collections are on your wishlist this fall through the New Year?
