My Ten Friends Chrononaut and Dirtball

Hey everyone! I have a couple of older My Ten Friends polishes to share today. I got this from a friend months ago and finally got the chance to wear them. I don't believe Chrononaut is available any longer but Dirtball may be restocked at some point, in the newer round bottle though. 

My Ten Friends Chrononaut

Layered over American Apparel Hassid

Black jelly base with gold, silver, red, teal, and blue glitter and gold shimmer.

Awesome representation of a time traveler, to me anyway. It's not about a certain doctor but more about the dark unknown and all that could be traveled. The black jelly base is not totally opaque, so I decided to layer over black and allow the colored glitter to pop a bit more. 

My Ten Friends Dirtball

Three coats

Brown jelly base with brown and turquoise glitter and holo silver micro glitter shimmer.

Turquoise and brown pair so well, I don't know if I would have thought to put them together and as you can see, they really compliment each other. As with Chrononaut, the brown jelly base is somewhat on the sheer side but instead of layering, this time I wore it by itself. I prefer the squishy look when doing that with a jelly polish. 

You can purchase My Ten Friends' polishes in her shop and updates can be found on her Facebook page as well as subscribing via newsletter linked on her site.

My Top 20 Polishes of 2013: Part Two

Hello hello! This Part Two of my top 20 polish picks from 2013. I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve. 'Til next year! 

Lynnderella Diamond Light

Layered over Elevation Polish Wisteria 

Previously posted here and available for purchase here

Those holo silver and pink circles, I don't know why I love them so much but I do. This is a stunning polish and the best one Lynnderella released in their regular non-LE line this year. 

My Ten Friends Multipass

Three coats

Previously posted here and My Ten Friends' shop is here

This one was created for my one year blogiversary back in September by the amazing Mei Lynn from My Ten Friends. I didn't give her any requirements just that I love bright colors and especially orange and she created this freaking out-of-this-world polish. 

Oopsie Daisies Bluebird

Three coats

Previously posted here and Oopsie Daisies' shop is here

Simplistic in design but that's what I love about it. The copper and brown specks in that creamy pale blue base, beautiful!

OPI Jinx

Two coats

Previously posted here and available to purchase wherever OPI is sold 

Textured polishes kind of exploded in 2013. I have a handful in my collection that I like but Jinx was definitely my favorite of them, and my favorite OPI polish of this year. 

Pahlish Old Fired Were Burning August Duo: 

Heavy with Mood Layered over Slow Like Honey 

Previously posted here and Pahlish's shop is here

I am cheating a bit with this pick, techinically it's two polishes but since they are a duo, I am making it one. Pahlish really amped up their line this last year, each collection release impressed me more than the last. And I love that each month gets it's own duo release. 

The colors in this August duo are subtle and striking all at once, I love that juxtaposition. 

Polish Revolution Glitterbox

Layered over American Apparel Night Sky 

Polish Revolution's shop is here

An all square iridescent glitter polish? Done and done. 

I can't wait to see what Lauryn has in store for 2014!

Pretty Serious Liquid Leprechaun

Three coats

Previously posted here and Pretty Serious' shop is here

Though I did get quite a lot of Aussie indie polishes in 2013, this Pretty Serious one is the winner. It's eye-catching and holo in it's green/goldness. 

Scofflaw This Must Be the Place

Three coats

Scofflaw Nail Varnishes' shop is here but this one is available for purchase here

Scofflaw came on the indie polish scene in 2013 and each and every polish made by her is unique. That's not easy feat! This Must Be the Place is one of her softer colors but for me it makes just as much impact as her bolder ones. 

Takko Lacquer Blushing Nude

Three coats

Previously posted here and Takko Lacquer's shop is here

You are probably wondering why I picked this one, considering the other bright and bold polishes on my list.  2013 is the year I came to realize just how much I love a good nude polish. And this is a creamy nude with pink shimmer is totally not shy. Neutral with a twist, be still my heart.

Wet n' Wild Teal Slowly and See

Two coats

I haven't posted this one on my blog yet and unfortunately I don't know if this is still available in drugstores. 

The bright cyan blue color, the pricetag, the creamy formula, it all does so much for me. Utter blue perfection.

My Ten Friends Multipass

Three thin coats

Orange jelly with pink, gold, and chartreuse hexes and micro-glitter and a dash of pink stars. 

How gorgeous is this? The orange is oh so bright and juicy and the chartreuse, gold, and pink glitter are a wonderful contrast. I love this polish, inspiration or not!

My Ten Friends The Sparkly Cycle of Summer Collection

Happy Friday guys! My Ten Friends is restocking tonight (Etsy shop here) so I thought I would post the three I got in her last restock. 

My Ten Friends Solar Dragon

Two coats over China Glaze Riveting

Orange, red, and gold holo glitter in a red tinted base. 

Like liquid hot magma on my nails! Summer heat in a bottle. 

My Ten Friends Space Opera

Two coats

Pink, lavender, purple and gold glitter in a purple base. 

Inspired by beautiful summer sunsets. 

Perfect visualization of a dusky purple skyline with pink and gold on the horizon. 

My Ten Friends Starry Night

Two coats

Black, white, blue and yellow glitter in a bright blue base. 

Inspired by Van Gogh's The Starry Night.

GAH, this is stunning! The blue is so vivid and the contrasting glitter adds complexity to the polish. 

A must-buy from this collection. 

I believe these will be available within today's restock but make sure to check out My Ten Friend's Facebook page and blog for updates regarding restock time and stock list. 

My Ten Friends Assortment

My Ten Friends is a newer indie brand for me but one that caught my eye and wouldn't let go. So here are some My Ten Friends polishes that I've worn recently. 

My Ten Friends Astrochicken

Three coats and then a layer of matte top coat

Doesn't this look exactly like a Denver Omelet? Those red and green "peppers" look yummy. 

With a name like Astrochicken, eggs were the first thing that came to my mind. 

My Ten Friends Attack Ships on Fire

Three coats

Most definitely my favorite of the bunch, the contrast between the orange and blue against the gold is amazing. 

My Ten Friends Close Encounters

Three coats

Again, the contrast of the black and gold against the plum purple is just great. I think that this theme of unique color combination is something that draws me to My Ten Friends line. 

My Ten Friends Goldilocks Planet

 Two coats

The yellow green is light and the bright blue glitter is a wonderful touch. 

My Ten Friends Pew! Pew! Pew!

Two coats layered over Rescue Beauty Lounge 360

More sheer than the others, 360 is as close the base color that I could match to. 

My Ten Friends polishes are available in her Etsy shop here. For international buyers, they are available at Overall Beauty and Femme Fatale. Updates and more information can be found on My Ten Friends' Facebook page, website and twitter.
