Julie offered to send me some more of her shades to try out and asked me to select some from her collection. The tree polishes I chose were Coco, Lost in Space and Milky Way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Coco</strong> - I'm a big fan of glitter polishes that have a nicely tinted base so they are opaque on their own, yet still transparent enough to show off all the glitters. So many commercial brand glitters are glitters in a clear base, and while I love a layering polish, I do prefer a polish that can be worn on it's own.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Coco is just what you would expect from a polish with this name. There are gold and copper glitters of various sizes in a brown base with a little bit of brown shimmer (but not too much so as to make it frosty and cover the glitter - I hate that!) There is also holo hexes and fine holo dust. This was two coats of Coco with two coats of top coat to smooth out any bumps.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHaqYZNRnZwit1jcXi4nv2Optt322RTQSzkzErYx1-vSLUepRWRiwYiepYNx_ZqiXcSbkq3LOKAWLTQTPMKB_fSvkRTK4nvtMjzW3LlvCW12qPm07mOshclLifqXRqU3XA8aSCjkc1bkU/s1600/julie-coco-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHaqYZNRnZwit1jcXi4nv2Optt322RTQSzkzErYx1-vSLUepRWRiwYiepYNx_ZqiXcSbkq3LOKAWLTQTPMKB_fSvkRTK4nvtMjzW3LlvCW12qPm07mOshclLifqXRqU3XA8aSCjkc1bkU/s1600/julie-coco-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tku_HQZz2zzj9ctFRfZzvTIhw-Jw1jOCD4ZeVGWxAoIDx2gSF75VYN0n0cbavokk3F3dNQ-_bjsZqVxkY3rmtFkLH2qF8ku_v44xQDSx4f70Id0oD28OoVBNe5GaRVo9nyK0XeevlNI/s1600/julie-coco-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tku_HQZz2zzj9ctFRfZzvTIhw-Jw1jOCD4ZeVGWxAoIDx2gSF75VYN0n0cbavokk3F3dNQ-_bjsZqVxkY3rmtFkLH2qF8ku_v44xQDSx4f70Id0oD28OoVBNe5GaRVo9nyK0XeevlNI/s1600/julie-coco-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJSXmc_LT1VVMwW1D9sGfOSTxFtp-TEE9qY-n_Eb9gOWr7T87Cz1P56koY2VRrnuoTSaRWltyD_A1Se4zwH46LpRPghttZez7HPTP_Sv0BD9o6q5zJBYhO3XH7PcsDZ9Ua0noJ4UsqDE/s1600/julie-coco-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJSXmc_LT1VVMwW1D9sGfOSTxFtp-TEE9qY-n_Eb9gOWr7T87Cz1P56koY2VRrnuoTSaRWltyD_A1Se4zwH46LpRPghttZez7HPTP_Sv0BD9o6q5zJBYhO3XH7PcsDZ9Ua0noJ4UsqDE/s1600/julie-coco-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Lost in Space</strong> - this has a few sizes of silver holo glitters as well as aqua blue glitters suspended in a black jelly base. I did two coats of Lost in Space here, and for the photos I should probably have done three, but in real life it looked great. I did put on two layers of top coat to smooth this one out as well, but that's mainly because now I'm really OCD about having a very shiny high gloss finish (that's what trying out soak off gel nails does for you!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEMfC-6xogJnoX2Dpz66eyhLQQ0osqOFqgBazLHDoI6lO1zsRe13GE5svVdSPzJevICW5Z8cfHwFO1MSE38nbqRRK8rxfAgR6mt0xAjpP3Cp61tLGgqyrcFl7g6ZNc4AxbzaPBiWxzGI/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEMfC-6xogJnoX2Dpz66eyhLQQ0osqOFqgBazLHDoI6lO1zsRe13GE5svVdSPzJevICW5Z8cfHwFO1MSE38nbqRRK8rxfAgR6mt0xAjpP3Cp61tLGgqyrcFl7g6ZNc4AxbzaPBiWxzGI/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6PHqdqRsi6w0jWovY4Q-pqIlA5kk_NKODdKvPjtvEEpd5_6EShAUnE0oBk3uZrzVVmgohmwLTKNW7bzuNCVe5RnLTXzO2mRJQRvLeiEUPklRdlZiPuf8sLQuSMOwGQtA_2EA0FWkRq8/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6PHqdqRsi6w0jWovY4Q-pqIlA5kk_NKODdKvPjtvEEpd5_6EShAUnE0oBk3uZrzVVmgohmwLTKNW7bzuNCVe5RnLTXzO2mRJQRvLeiEUPklRdlZiPuf8sLQuSMOwGQtA_2EA0FWkRq8/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppYp66aQzpkWgE5JCOqbAFaMoKJmlt4fK2grbkyLUBF0SWujp_kSizottPpFkMFLGS_WK4HRm9qCfDntL4IUA1ZmSEioPlg_uJUD0-1PNhhvySmhhd1HcYnRtMdSsnOyTECX0XISzQe8/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppYp66aQzpkWgE5JCOqbAFaMoKJmlt4fK2grbkyLUBF0SWujp_kSizottPpFkMFLGS_WK4HRm9qCfDntL4IUA1ZmSEioPlg_uJUD0-1PNhhvySmhhd1HcYnRtMdSsnOyTECX0XISzQe8/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoGrmzmBGhL9Pn93T-aZ0pHBcZGuhX16feFAyx4c88Zhyphenhyphen9G5p8FlolhWrNz_c4aJ1yhGi9yzKzJz0NhkVA-0ZHck7XwWmu5Lu0xgif84974z41qTho-tYht4CXH4UuEh5Cx6LNE0v9UY/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoGrmzmBGhL9Pn93T-aZ0pHBcZGuhX16feFAyx4c88Zhyphenhyphen9G5p8FlolhWrNz_c4aJ1yhGi9yzKzJz0NhkVA-0ZHck7XwWmu5Lu0xgif84974z41qTho-tYht4CXH4UuEh5Cx6LNE0v9UY/s1600/julie-lost-in-space-4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Milky Way</strong> - this one is my favourite from this bunch, which is ironic given my comment at the beginning about preferring a full coverage polish to a layering one. This is a really gorgeous combo of glitters which I can't actually tell if they are individual colours, or if they are iridescent duochrome shifting ones (it's probably a combination of both). I layered one coat of Milky Way of Cult Nails Time Traveller. This was the smoothest of the bunch requiring only one layer of Seche Vite for that glassy finish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkcQmvBJH0RHrhmuJxaLc7etK5cSVuGhbQQSJZLHjBTEgYG4iiFv516zVcXiHgZPqjSEOcId5fsBWroHV4FHne-RnyGEwo26VQZS37zw5fiFTMig35FF6PSzM_8sQ2qZkhysudOlwtSw/s1600/julie-milky-way-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkcQmvBJH0RHrhmuJxaLc7etK5cSVuGhbQQSJZLHjBTEgYG4iiFv516zVcXiHgZPqjSEOcId5fsBWroHV4FHne-RnyGEwo26VQZS37zw5fiFTMig35FF6PSzM_8sQ2qZkhysudOlwtSw/s1600/julie-milky-way-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIkbdCidkMMeHmW80ADBxI-v6Krr7hqewfRdjbesx3C_JL7ZmW8g9XBnT09pAB1qXtTeYpdz3hxdaFGdBz6pq9F0n2EbCvCrC_O8mdbja6gIrYVyrO52-ufiIQgFKr4RSF8HcnV7FDjI/s1600/julie-milky-way-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIkbdCidkMMeHmW80ADBxI-v6Krr7hqewfRdjbesx3C_JL7ZmW8g9XBnT09pAB1qXtTeYpdz3hxdaFGdBz6pq9F0n2EbCvCrC_O8mdbja6gIrYVyrO52-ufiIQgFKr4RSF8HcnV7FDjI/s1600/julie-milky-way-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzw9voVpV5epgJZaJlCLk4AIutgCN2TFJCtkMxM5SyzmIKdOrZNMJbJpfqJARf-vofTfdo04QYikOAL8XJBlqPFSErNpUkd2t7W24aSHS1a11a8gQgXwkI-pIQsHasgTnjVPNQXZ5pItg/s1600/julie-milky-way-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzw9voVpV5epgJZaJlCLk4AIutgCN2TFJCtkMxM5SyzmIKdOrZNMJbJpfqJARf-vofTfdo04QYikOAL8XJBlqPFSErNpUkd2t7W24aSHS1a11a8gQgXwkI-pIQsHasgTnjVPNQXZ5pItg/s1600/julie-milky-way-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4rGsfzhJ9HpdtRX-d2x1KROpXK10uIr0iRlhs3ZAaXZVLSFvzz-idlvE1l2XOT8xrtfYLYh5z_-LwFVwRBJ7QXrBZdtJcdDEARvLG1q7eGMyVyIT6OJpkVZtcXeoweGsFhc35X0fG_YI/s1600/julie-milky-way-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4rGsfzhJ9HpdtRX-d2x1KROpXK10uIr0iRlhs3ZAaXZVLSFvzz-idlvE1l2XOT8xrtfYLYh5z_-LwFVwRBJ7QXrBZdtJcdDEARvLG1q7eGMyVyIT6OJpkVZtcXeoweGsFhc35X0fG_YI/s1600/julie-milky-way-4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think the labels on these bottles are clever.

I wore this before Christmas, which is when I fell in love with it and it made my top polishes for the year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pretty Serious Mummy Mush is from the Monster Mash collection and it's a golden glass fleck polish that it totally unlike any other I have seen. The base colour is actually quite pink. When I swatched it onto my swatch sticks I was amazed at how pink the base was, especially when holding the stick up to the light. However as soon as you layer two or three coats, that pink disappears and ends up providing a soft fleshy coloured gold. The gold flecks are just how I like them, cool toned (and it even has a blue flash), yet the pink base warms it up just slightly. I'm completely in love with this polish, if your a gold lover like me - this one is a no brainer!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I had so much fun coming up with what I would wear on my nails for New Year's Eve. I didn't use any untrieds and I didn't have to do any swatching- I just decided to enjoy what I already had in my stash. I don't do that enough...there are always so many enticing new polishes coming out but it was sort of refreshing. ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I had probably 15 different polishes that I wanted to use but realized that wouldn't be very practical so I settled on 4. :) I knew I wanted a ton of bling, so I didn't hold back on the glitter! Not that I usually do anyway, but I was definitely glad for the peel off base coat for this one. haha I used the flash to bring the holo out...it's been a dark and dreary few days around my area so no sunlight, unfortunately.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSINmdzmhMZtNP3dtgaNfL482mlmQsasT72zkVIs2T4cycDGRRll2D-eUFlRYm_SdrhpBwPPUNo_m2PZp3GX1wgvBHDKyR3ppvarRAfeSGb_k-Myoy39cLtLkahKIIIQMRtV_4qzVs7Fr/s1600/ny1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSINmdzmhMZtNP3dtgaNfL482mlmQsasT72zkVIs2T4cycDGRRll2D-eUFlRYm_SdrhpBwPPUNo_m2PZp3GX1wgvBHDKyR3ppvarRAfeSGb_k-Myoy39cLtLkahKIIIQMRtV_4qzVs7Fr/s640/ny1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />What I used: Sinful Colors Black on Black, Layla Hologram in Flash Black, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear In the Spotlight, and Essence Hello Holo.

I hope you all had a wonderful time. As for me, I was cozy and snug in my bed, the days of seeing in the new year are long gone for me. That's what small children do to you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To start the year, I'm excited to show you a brand new shade from Picture Polish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>O'hara </b>- for the Scarlett in all of you! That's the little catch phrase on the top of this bottle. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know who Scarlett O'hara is? Well, Scarlett O'hara is the protagonist in the novel Gone with the Wind. I've not read the book, but I certainly remember seeing the movie when I was in my teens. I still recall the last words Rhett says to Scarlett - do you?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is the brightest scattered red holo polish I've ever seen. The formula on this is just like Kryptonite and Cosmos with the same shard like scattered holo pieces. The red base is so amazingly bright, it's a blazing cherry red. This one isn't as much of a jelly as kryptonite and cosmos, I'd say it's more of a crelly (a cross between a creme and a jelly). The holo bits shine through easily but it's opaque in two coats.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These pictures are two coats with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

I have to say I'm very proud of myself. I've done a huge 314 blog post this year, and for the last three months I've posted every single day. I cracked 1.5 million page views and I collaborated with Picture Polish to create my very own shade. Whoo hoo what a year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What better way to finish the year that to share my top 12 commercial polishes from this year. Like I explained yesterday, a commercial polish for me is one that is made in a lab, rather than hand mixed. I also have to say that I think I've been very self controlled with regards to big commercial brands. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't purchase a single whole collection from any of the big brands like OPI or China Glaze, rather I just bought one or two polishes that really stood out to me. The growth in my collection was mostly indie polishes and just about all of commercial brands I purchased were smaller brands like aEngland, Layla and Pretty Serious.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Magnetic polishes were huge earlier this year. I remember when I got my very first magnetic polish a couple of years ago and I was amazed. Now they are so common that we are all a bit <span class="st">blasé</span> about them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2012 was also the year of the holo! So many brands did amazing holo polishes, Layla, HITS, Ludurana, Jade, Color Club, FNUG to mention just a few - now we are just waiting to get the new China Glaze holos in 2013. I don't think I'll ever got <span class="st">blasé about holos.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The crackle finish died but the 'spotted' finish became quite a stir. And of course I have to mention the Fantasy Fire craze sparked by it's Clarins 230esque red to green colour shift. This same red to green colour shifting pigment was also widely used in many indie brands to create 230 dupes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've also seen the commercial brands starting to notice of the indies and coming out with polishes that look much more like indies. eg Nails Inc with the sprinkles, Models Own with the Mirrorball and even China Glaze with some of the Cirque du Soleil polishes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nail polish really came a long way this year. I can't wait to see what 2013 brings us (although I hope it's not more of those liquid sand polishes, they make me want to vomit).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, lets get on with it. This first polish in my top 12 should be no surprise to anyone!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Picture Polish - Kryptonite</b> (or as I like to call it 'my polish').

It's basically a one coater and is the most stunning metallic red polish I own. The funny thing is I wasn't even going to get this one, but because you get 10% off when you purchase a full collection, it means the last polish is only about $3, so at that price I thought I may as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiZy2n4vL1cOdp1RV74KmsmjqDEymUVD-xrC914PYbfX5nud8ZflqOWexYOv24xxBnCkxBvPKeybMrdddpHz82C45sK7ZZwUz9rQDD519w6k8PpeQtMJoossxymp09tkonyiHavsHLdpM/s1600/PS-Santa-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiZy2n4vL1cOdp1RV74KmsmjqDEymUVD-xrC914PYbfX5nud8ZflqOWexYOv24xxBnCkxBvPKeybMrdddpHz82C45sK7ZZwUz9rQDD519w6k8PpeQtMJoossxymp09tkonyiHavsHLdpM/s1600/PS-Santa-1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Pretty Serious - BSOD</b>.

Yep I'm completely cheating here and included three shades in one. I just couldn't pick between these three polishes. I created this gradient using all three polishes. OPI Golden Eye at the top, Zoya Ziv in the middle and Pretty Serious Mummy Mush at the bottom. It was absolutely stunning and combined all three of my favourite gold glass fleck polishes from this year (but it was a bitch to clean up cause those glass fleck stick everywhere)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8bhz7ZGIyjnf54u0-f1GM5iCoeMDVJev-hkA2U21bDwyiLMKAau1labsXCsfAcT1_1EHtG0h0csWKZTy6GW5xDSCsbc7XY-yLjfxIHtrxv0x4hifs2JdZKL-tcvFwjJ44DCVquPiYxI/s1600/gold-foils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8bhz7ZGIyjnf54u0-f1GM5iCoeMDVJev-hkA2U21bDwyiLMKAau1labsXCsfAcT1_1EHtG0h0csWKZTy6GW5xDSCsbc7XY-yLjfxIHtrxv0x4hifs2JdZKL-tcvFwjJ44DCVquPiYxI/s1600/gold-foils.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Layla - Metal Chrome. </b>The Layla Mirror Effect Polishes are hands down the smoothest and most reflective chrome polishes available. This whole collection was gorgeous, although I would have liked to see a larger variety of colours (I wanted a gold chrome and green chrome too). Yes, they do show every single imperfection on your nail, so you either need to buff your nails or wear a very high gloss base coat (I highly recommend soak off gels beneath these mirrors, they look amazing and last so much better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmEsa3U-JM0Lb8ivkBu2Gpp3Jp9CCPkyhQhYy1lZso_yHH1bmW1lVQWNRcuTUyREQNpRB8LfbJYhPQCjfSrpgwW7GlAr6pr42PXrtiEL88O80PSuRb7L5UAXWh4C9JdCQ8bsJa0ateMKaP/s1600/layla-metal-chrome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmEsa3U-JM0Lb8ivkBu2Gpp3Jp9CCPkyhQhYy1lZso_yHH1bmW1lVQWNRcuTUyREQNpRB8LfbJYhPQCjfSrpgwW7GlAr6pr42PXrtiEL88O80PSuRb7L5UAXWh4C9JdCQ8bsJa0ateMKaP/s1600/layla-metal-chrome.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>OPI - Don't Pretzel my Buttons</b>.

In determining what is 'indie' and what is 'commercial' I based it on whether it is hand made or whether it is made in a lab. Therefore brands like aEngland, Cult Nails, Pretty Serious and Picture Polish are commercial for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>As you could know, there are now literally hundreds of indie brands available, and sadly I only have a small selection of those brands in my collection. I have no Hare, no Dollish, no Pahlish, no Girly Bits, no Nerd Lacquers, no Happy Hands, no KBShimmers the list goes on and on. I've only chosen my top twelve from polishes that I own and from polishes that were released this year. I'm certain that if I had some polishes from those brands listed above I would have a very different top twelve.<br /><br />There are no surprises to me that four Lynnderella polishes make my top 12.<br /><br /><b>Lynnderella - Ghost of a Chance</b> - This was such a huge surprise for me, I had no idea that I would love this as much as I did when I put it on.

I used the beautiful OPI Golden Eye for my base (which I received a mini of for my birthday earlier this month - I think I will need a full size of this gold!). I hand painted the holly using a green franken and China Glaze Emerald Sparkle. The holly is created with red rhinestones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I can't believe how long my nails are at the moment. I think I must file them down soon, although it's kinda fun having nails this long when I'm not working. I got this extra length using the Gelicious hybrid gel nails. I've not got gel on for this mani, but it certainly has helped my nails grow out without breakages.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaGAJ_qQ7aaubZE6MD53M9ybhsd9teaat0_u_SySHXcRtIK9AwO07FSWv3G7DmHLEqCo-BfCkeEfP_AdCnR6hHPUIltJQ12UCGTrre4Se36z4HSjiHS2hFveNQ0dTzik6MSRVkPllKpc/s1600/xmas-12-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaGAJ_qQ7aaubZE6MD53M9ybhsd9teaat0_u_SySHXcRtIK9AwO07FSWv3G7DmHLEqCo-BfCkeEfP_AdCnR6hHPUIltJQ12UCGTrre4Se36z4HSjiHS2hFveNQ0dTzik6MSRVkPllKpc/s1600/xmas-12-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcqk-u6e09iG1_X8s55xCMG1201NrNyNUcdZnXb_peWdNzAVVybgLtcskP1IZb10Po2-ZWtSLXeSRRq9pKtvtOBvfMyNtmWoOVIznNYMVNjPmAyLbvlpqRaGFdVt9Gl38AVKdM6fhzo3Y/s1600/xmas-12-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcqk-u6e09iG1_X8s55xCMG1201NrNyNUcdZnXb_peWdNzAVVybgLtcskP1IZb10Po2-ZWtSLXeSRRq9pKtvtOBvfMyNtmWoOVIznNYMVNjPmAyLbvlpqRaGFdVt9Gl38AVKdM6fhzo3Y/s1600/xmas-12-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh756I4Px8HvU4w4jAWVHjNxUBGOhzQmmzl27RCQ8Q54lCOBNssoPXt-53p7pRg6vu7psAKjz5DTXUOJx6SP8puTGT5vql7uDVYUEc6_UpOdQquE_o-fYCCjXl8kd5q1tOqf7rzhobdPRU/s1600/xmas-12-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh756I4Px8HvU4w4jAWVHjNxUBGOhzQmmzl27RCQ8Q54lCOBNssoPXt-53p7pRg6vu7psAKjz5DTXUOJx6SP8puTGT5vql7uDVYUEc6_UpOdQquE_o-fYCCjXl8kd5q1tOqf7rzhobdPRU/s1600/xmas-12-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPIj-4SVNr84X87_wSFmBParJYDSVN4Nt1p11KEfJAwUMpyGu2Lk5Piup0mFsZzwtA53jIGTMZHH1FMraKdWygI7UVlu-8fTGhdPDgoePZwspXyh2qRpALeeCcccN6kHfMHE6E7Zqh66A/s1600/xmas-12-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPIj-4SVNr84X87_wSFmBParJYDSVN4Nt1p11KEfJAwUMpyGu2Lk5Piup0mFsZzwtA53jIGTMZHH1FMraKdWygI7UVlu-8fTGhdPDgoePZwspXyh2qRpALeeCcccN6kHfMHE6E7Zqh66A/s1600/xmas-12-4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13499761381100808668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761622525580510349.post-75553539972032619622012-12-24T00:00:00.000-08:002013-01-08T07:00:39.367-08:00Emily de Molly - Spam Mk II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Like most parents with little kiddos, tonight I'm running around like a made women to get everything wrapped and prepped for tomorrow.

text-align: left;">I recently spotted this Ulta3 shade mixed amongst the others in the big polish bin at my local chemist. It was a shade that I didn't have in my collection, it is made in PRC (which means it's newish) but it was never released as part of any collection.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Melted Marshmallow</b> is your classic very pale pink pearl polish with a fantastically frosty finish. Urrgghhh, really, I can't believe polish companies still make shades like these. But I guess someone out there likes them and keeps buying them, otherwise they wouldn't keep making them (well I guess I just bought it too, so maybe I'm perpetuating the demand)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was three coats of Melted Marshmallow, applied very carefully so as to minimize brush strokes as much as possible. Just looking at the bottle I knew I wasn't going to like this polish much, and after the first brush stroke I was right. But, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, at three coats it actually looked ok. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpebMBRFu7uM9XtXxHaOEsL83Dy1HU0APwKV2nVvdXEqes_C91dJB1xTqaygGNnwVGA0Gsho-nZ6cK8YAv7xqOZRaPkcj2XTPq4K1_HCDXoaF4_ep0afYf5Tjl7RSV59ws3e-eG6wtkeI/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpebMBRFu7uM9XtXxHaOEsL83Dy1HU0APwKV2nVvdXEqes_C91dJB1xTqaygGNnwVGA0Gsho-nZ6cK8YAv7xqOZRaPkcj2XTPq4K1_HCDXoaF4_ep0afYf5Tjl7RSV59ws3e-eG6wtkeI/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRTAr0rEPbzpyLnp69CqYhtbwEz1SPBgTKK-7nN2VOgYrfyDnLP4up0NeYc3pf8oVOf-1wjs8-lW0RsHRc-zvoDbzTnVmYCBHCkUCHIlorXYtKsAhqIphO1Fxct4zLXBqsfphEfYkUUU/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRTAr0rEPbzpyLnp69CqYhtbwEz1SPBgTKK-7nN2VOgYrfyDnLP4up0NeYc3pf8oVOf-1wjs8-lW0RsHRc-zvoDbzTnVmYCBHCkUCHIlorXYtKsAhqIphO1Fxct4zLXBqsfphEfYkUUU/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1vfHi_dWnnAYZHbtqTK7z2X78ZgNElGWBWK_mtZcM3lIZo-XWjwUZsmrfH_agqrrZZt925H8rDdeTqBd-8VjazFRYaxwyZPMDTcncDkQgtlON6_WZevVMtSq_XTxgjx2H9J0kSG5odBc/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1vfHi_dWnnAYZHbtqTK7z2X78ZgNElGWBWK_mtZcM3lIZo-XWjwUZsmrfH_agqrrZZt925H8rDdeTqBd-8VjazFRYaxwyZPMDTcncDkQgtlON6_WZevVMtSq_XTxgjx2H9J0kSG5odBc/s1600/Ulta3-Melted-Marshmallow-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Do you have any classic frosty shades in your collection?

But there was no way I was missing the 'gold' themed day, because gold polish is definitely my most favourite polish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For today's gold polish I have actually combined two of my most favourite recent gold polishes. One coat of Zoya Ziv then one coat of Pretty Serious Mummy Mush. On the ring finger is Zoya Reva. I then added the contrasting rhinestones off set to one side of the nail, to each finger using a layer of top coat. Then I sealed them in with top coat again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I really love this mani, although I wish that the gold rhinestones were a cooler toned gold and not so yellow. I think I need to get myself some of the gold studs from the Born Pretty store, they would have been a much better match.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I painted it freehand using Ulta3 Blue Marlin, Frog Prince and Lily white the explosion is with Kleancolor Metallic mango, metallic yellow and Pretty Serious Santas Sunburn. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On my ring finger I stamped today's iconic date. 21.12.2012.

I was so excited to find the Sinful Colors holiday polishes in Walgreens a while back. Normally, I'm kinda bored by what they have to offer but a lot of these really caught my eye and Superstar was one of those. I layered one coat over Zoya Robyn. I LOVE the flecks in this...sooo pretty!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Superstar was the perfect backdrop for some winter nail art.
