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

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. 

Polish Revolution Such a Drag Collection

Good morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a very busy weekend and considering the forthcoming holiday season, that will be the norm for the next month. Today I have a few polishes from Polish Revolution, these are part of her most recent Such a Drag Collection. This collection is inspired by RuPaul’s Drag Race and they are as appropriately glitter-tastic as can be. Each polish can be worn solo with multiple layers as Accio Lacquer showed us, but I ended up layering each color over a complimenting base. I absolutely loved these mico-glitters, Lauryn really did a fantastic job with these beautiful polishes. 

Polish Revolution Bad Ass Mother Tucker 

Layered over Cult Nails Flushed
Turquoise, gold, and iridescent sparkle in a clear base.
Who wouldn't feel like a bad ass with this on?! 

Polish Revolution Having a Kiki 

Layered over Sinful Gel Tech Nouveau Purple
Holographic silver and purple iridescent glitter with purple micro-shimmer in a clear base.
Holy heck, how awesome is this one? So many layering options with it, I almost couldn't decide.

Polish Revolution Reading is Fun-damental 

 Layered over Morgan Taylor Jungle Boogie
Emerald, lavender, gold, and turquoise glitter in a clear base.
The touch of lavender gives it a lovely and unique touch.

Polish Revolution You Better WERK!

 Layered over American Apparel Manila
Holographic red, orange, and gold in a clear base.
 So bold and bright, of course this one is my favorite!

Such a Drag collection can be purchased in Polish Revolution's Etsy shop.

Polish Revolution Handies in the Andes

Polish Revolution is a newer shop in the indie polish market. The first thing that grabs your attention are the names, they are playful and amusing and you just know there is story behind each one. But names are minor compared to the color selection so it's a good thing that her polishes are beautiful.

Handies in the Andes has a pale mint base color with small iridescent and white hex glitter. It is on the sheer side, so layering may be needed but I was able to get it opaque in 3 coats and applied a matte top coat.

Handies in the Andes can be found at Polish Revolution's Etsy shop along with the rest of her polishes.
