My Top 12 Of 2012!

This morning I saw a post about top mani's/polishes for 2012 and it reminded me of how much fun I had doing my top 12 last year so I decided I would go through my old posts and pic my favorite polishes for this year surprise surprise they're mainly indies but there is an awesome variety of colors/finishes, a few of my favorite things this year were chunky glitter, matte glitter, square glitter, duchromes, holos of course and anything blue, purple or fuchsia. 

As well as my top 12 polishes I have also included my favorite Nail Art Mani for this year I love snoopy so much I had to include this mani in my post, i'm not sure if all my top 12 polishes were released in 2012 the list is more just my favorite polishes I swatched this year.

I'd love to know what you think of my choices and what were you favorite polishes this year?

Ozotic Scatter Chrome - 910

I am very excited to post my first review in ages! Ozotic 910 is from the new Scatter Chrome Collection, 910 is a gold chrome similar to Chanel Perdiot that is packed full of scattered holo particles, as you can see gold does not really suit my skin color it makes me look way too tanned but the polish itself looks stunning I love the scattered holo effect all my pics were taken in the sun so you can see how holo it looks but you cannot see much of the duochrome color shift which changes from gold to green.

The Ozotic Scatter Chrome collection is available online from piCture pOlish and from piCture pOlish network members if you would like to see swatches of the whole collection Cathy from More Nail Polish has the most gorgeous swatch pics Ozotic 914 looks to die for gorgeous!

I am really excited to be taking part in piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2012! I have been sent two amazing new piCture pOlish Shades to review, Kryptonite is from the new Collaboration Collection and Dorothy is a new Mesh shade, both shades are available to purchase today July 30th from piCture pOlish on-line and all piCture pOlish network members.

I am really impressed with Kyrptonite & Dorothy I would love to get some feedback on what you think of the new shades? which one is your favorite or do you need to buy them both straight away?

Kryptonite is a dark green jelly with an amazing scattered holo effect it was made in collaboration with Cathy from More Nail Polish I am a big fan of hers I love her blog she has the most beautiful swatches and nail art so knowing she helped create Kryptonite makes it even more special. I really love Kyrptonite it is such a unique shade I have nothing even close to it in my stash.

Dorothy is a luscious red packed full of metallic silver sparkle it is really stunning and eye-catching a very girly shade I love its name it is very fitting you could easily imagine Dorothy's red slippers being exactly this color!

Enchanted Polish - Across The Universe

Enchanted Polish Across The Universe has to be the best half price polish I have ever brought I got for 50% off at llarowes birthday promo awhile back there was a glitch with the promo code it was supposed to be active at midnight but didn't start working until the next morning so I spent pretty much all night refreshing the page trying to get the code to work but it was so worth it for this polish!

Across The Universe is a gorgeous holo duochrome that shifts from blue to purple I am really impressed it is way better than the Ozotic Mish Mash Douchromes and it doesn't need underwear, the color shift photographs so beautifully, I can't wait to get Octopus's Garden next my friend Nikki let it slip that she's already brought it for my b-day i'm so excited!

OPI DS Extravagance & MaxFactor Fantasy Fire

I thought I would be posting pics of my June/July Haul today but the shipping company stuffed up and put my old address on the package and now I can't pick it up until 5pm! I am really bored as I planned on spending the day playing with my new pretties so instead I decided to swatch Maxfactor Fantasy Fire that has been sitting in my untrieds pile for months, the first set of pics is two coats of OPI DS Extravagance on its own, the second set is after I added two coats of Fantasy Fire it has added a great red/gold flash effect I like this combo but next time I use Fantasy Fire I think i'll swatch it over another a blue or purple so you can see its purple base color better.

BSJ Holo #13

I purchased BSJ Holo #13 from a friend in a swap group as it is supposed to be a dupe of OPI DS Glamour and as much as I would like Glamour I don't have $50+ to spend on it, this is a really gorgeous polish and has a amazing rainbow holo effect so much so that it is hard to capture its full beauty in pics, as pretty as this is I still hope one day I might own OPI DS Glamour.
