but here are my favorite 12 polishes I got in the year 2012!
I'm just doing one instead of Indie vs Mainstream etc. These are polishes I felt blown away by, used the most or just fell in love with during the past year!
I separated them to have the more mainstream brands first then indies second!
I tried to not have too many indies included, but they really stole my heart this year!
Ozotic 532
Does much need to be said? Just look at it!
I used three coats here but it looks fantastic over black too.
Illamasqua Radium
I wanted this polish for almost a year before I finally broke down and bought it.
I wish I did sooner! This is the first time I have posted it on the blog. but it is easily one of my most worn polishes of the year. Three coats.
Zoya Aurora
Three coats.This polish is so beautiful and applies very well. <3
SpaRitual Sacred Ground
Three coats. I love how simple this is but yet complex also, so pretty! Looks great matte too!
A England Dragon
It was a hard choice because I also really love Ascalon, and St George, but Dragon is one of my very favorite greens that I own and I had to include it!
A Rhyming Dictionary Crooked Magician
I love the flakies in this so much, it takes 4 coats to be opaque alone but it is so worth it!
Nail-venturous/Ninja Polish Floam
I used one coat over Zoya Neely (Lovely post will be up soon!)
Jindie Nails Battle Royale
This was a recent one but I knew right away that is was one of my favorites.
I love this so much and plan to get a backup when I can!
Laquerlicious Mixed Berries
Just like Battle Royale Mixed Berries is recent, but I own nothing like it.I love it SO much!
Naild'it Dragon Scales
I used one coatd over Zoya Julie (Lovely post will be up soon!)
Nerd Lacquer =/= c
This polish is one that Amanda included in a friends order for it taking longer to ship, so I messaged her asking if I could buy one because I loved it! So I feel even more lucky to own it since it was never for sale! This is three coats!
Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger
This is my favorite of the year for sure, one of my favorites in my entire collection!
I love "holochromes"! This is two coats. <3
