My Top 10 Favorite Nail Polishes

I'm a nail polish addict. As someone who's not really into beauty products, nail polish is one of the rare things I get a little crazy over. To be honest, I have an embarrassing amount of polish - but it's not embarrassing if it makes me happy, right? :P And, sadly, when I see a nail polish in the store that I love, it's really difficult to avoid making the purchase. Keeping all this in mind, I think it's safe to say that I've loved on a lot of polishes...and I have quite a few favorites in my collection! If you're interested in finding out some of my most loved and used, keep reading! :)



Revlon Fearless

This color makes quite a statement, and it's one of the polishes that people consistently ask me about when I have it on. It's bright, bright red with a hint of orange - different than your conventional red in a perfectly wonderful way.


Ulta Little Black Dress

I think dark colors are a fun way to change up your nails, but black can be a little blah for me (I usually opt for very dark blues, purples, greens, etc.). I was excited to find this Ulta polish which is a black with some awesome silvery shimmer. It doesn't appear excessively glittery on the nails, which I like, but it gives the black an extra special pop that catches the eye.


Revlon Sunshine Sparkle

This name makes me happy and describes this nail polish perfectly. Sunshine Sparkle is a pastel, yet bright yellow that has the most beautiful shimmer in it that reminds me of the best summer day imaginable. It's gorgeous on skin with a bit of a tan, though I reach for this polish no matter the month because it's one of those that perks you up and makes you happy.


Wet 'n Wild I Need a Refresh-Mint

The name of this polish is punny, something that I love to begin with. But the color is to die for!!! It's a minty blue that looks amazingggg, especially this time of year. This Megalast line of polishes from Wet 'n Wild are some of my favorite, too. The formula is long lasting, I think the price is under three dollars, and the brush is on the bigger side with a curve to it that makes painting your nails incredibly easy. I also have two other colors from this line: On a Trip (lilacy purple) and Club Havana (awesome creamsicle orange).


Revlon Copper Penny

I'm not one for wearing neutrals on my nails, and this gorgeous color is about as low key as I'll go. It's a rose gold-ish/copper shade that looks amazing once on. It's got the perfect amount of shimmer and catches the light beautifully. If you're not into super bright colors, I'd highly recommend this one!


Sinful Colors Let's Talk

This line of polishes is one of the best bargains at the drugstore! I believe I got this shade for $1.99, and the formula isn't lacking. Let's Talk is a particularly vibrant, bright purple with an awesome sheen to it. It's more on the purple than blue side as opposed to how it looks in the picture above. Definitely makes a statement, but that's exactly the kind of polish that I love and adore!


Revlon Midnight

Midnight is a dark teal which reminds me of the night sky before it's gotten truly dark - so maybe a bit before the clock actually strikes twelve :) It's one of those deep colors that I would typically choose over black as it makes a dark statement while maintaining a fun pop of color at the same time.


Butter London Knackered

As you can probably tell by now, I'm quite the fan of affordable drugstore nail polish. While I have a few more expensive ones in my collection, I generally don't pay more than $6 for a polish. However, when I spotted this Butter London one, I knew I had to shell out the, in my opinion, outrageous price tag. But honestly, it's gorgeous. This shade reminds me so much of all the "galaxy" things you see, transitioning from green to blue to pink to purple to silver with the slightest move of your hand. It's a bit sheer to be worn on its own but pairs perfectly overtop of a dark blue, teal, or purple. Plus, there's a pretty little shimmer that's slight but beautiful all the same.


Pop Beauty Mint Magic

This one is different from the previous minty shade I mentioned in that it's far more green than blue. It's wonderful all the same, giving a bright, fun pop of color to the nails. I've found it to be a tad bit streaky at first, but with a couple of coats everything sorts out :)


Revlon Vixen

I'm not one to coordinate my nail polish colors based on the season (I wear whatever I want whenever I want!), but Vixen is the perfect vampy red for fall. This wine-like shade has a hint of plum to it, making it another fun, unique choice when you want to wear a shade of red on your nails.

And there you have it! Though I'm sure I'll find a new favorite in no time, the above are some of my most loved and adored nail polishes. I think I have one for every possible occasion I could get myself into, but there's always room for more when it comes to nail polish, right?

Toodleoo,

Liz :)
