This was a very good year for my nails, mainly because I finally managed to grow them out, all thanks to Biotin supplements and products like OPI Nail Envy and Nailtiques Formula 2 System. Having longer nails made me want to try out different polishes and even experiment with nail art a little bit. Picking just a few favorites was tough, but here they are! Can you tell, I love cremes a lot?
#10: Zoya Giovanna – opaque emerald green metallic. More swatches here.
#9: Cult Nails Swanbourne – opaque deep brown creme with fine flashes of gold shimmer. More swatches here.
#8: !Cult Nails Midnight Mist! – opaque green-taupe creme with gold and ember shimmer. More swatches here.
#7: Zoya Godiva – semi-opaque soft nude glitter with sugared silvery matte sparkle. More swatches here.
#6: Essie Tart Deco – opaque soft peach creme. More swatches here.
#5: SpaRitual Home Body – opaque mauve with gold micro shimmer. More swatches here.
#4: *Knocked Up Nails Rock-a-Bye Radiance* – opaque metallic fuchsia with strong silver shimmer. More swatches here.
#3: Zoya Kennedy – opaque pale french beige creme. More swatches here.
#2: Nicka K Ripe Apple – opaque true cool red. More swatches here.
#1: OPI Ski Teal We Drop – opaque medium teal creme. More swatches here.
THE VERDICT
I definitely need to expand my collection to include more glitters, so that’s what my main nail focus will be in 2014, and I’m already actively working on it 🙂 Cheers to a future post about ten favorite glitters!
What are your favorite nail polishes?
Need Zoya Giovanna and Essie Tart Deco in my life!
Those are great colors!
I love the Cult Nails on you. I purchased the set but haven’t worn it yet!
I was one of the lucky winners in their Facebook giveaway. That was a fabulous collection, wasn’t it?
These are some beautiful picks!!! I love your swatches!
Thanks Judy 🙂 I’m not really a nail blogger and have no idea how to do nail swatches properly, but I’m happy to hear that you like them.
Beautiful picks! Especially the two from Cult Nails. They’re my faves too!
Thank you!
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Swanbourne swatches and made a promise to buy it– I gotta bite the bullet. It’s so unique and gorgeous!
It’s a very pretty color, and those little gold shimmers make it very unique 🙂
Great swatches and photos!
Thanks 🙂
I love your choices!
Thanks, Phyrra 🙂
I LOVE Swanbourne from Cult Nails! Just found a new favorite!
It’s beautiful, isn’t it 🙂 It’s one of my favorite Cult Nails colors, too.
Wow, the shimmer in Knocked Up Nails Rock-a-Bye Radiance is amazing!
Haha, I know right? It’s just as impressive-looking in person 😀
Great Swatches! your nails look great. I love the teal.. swoon!
Thank you Nidia 🙂 That teal OPI is actually one of my most used polishes this winter!
Love your picks! Swanbourne is so pretty!!
Thank you Harshleen! Swanbourne is currently on sale for $6 at cultnails.com 🙂
YAY so happy to see how much you enjoyed knocked up nails from your BumpBundle via babybumpbundle.com! Gorgeous mani job !!
It was a pleasure working with you, Michelle! I would have never discovered this brand if not for BumpBundle boxes 🙂
I love your choices all such beautiful colors!
Thank you Farryn 🙂
All shades look very good, it’s difficult to choose one 🙂
I really had a hard time picking 🙂
I have four of your top ten–Swanbourne, Midnight Mist, Godiva, and Kennedy. I haven’t worn the Cult Nails ones yet, but I’m so happy that I got them. I have too many polishes to make a definitive list, but some favorites off the top of my head are Zoya Dream, Essie Eternal Optimist, Emily de Molly Regal Beginnings, and KBShimmer Totally Tubular.
Nice list! I heard so many amazing things about Emily de Molly polishes, I’ll make sure to try it out when I shop at Llarowe next time.
