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?

I must have been having a blonde moment yesterday afternoon when I was taking swatch pics of Hits Moonbow when I uploaded the pics to my desktop today I realised I had grabbed the Hits Afterglow bottle by mistake *Major Fail* so on my nails in these pics I have two coats of Hits Moonbow over Ludurana show but the bottle I am holding in my hand is Hits Afterglow it is raining today so I couldn't take more pics and these pics looked so good I didn't want to waste them.

Hits Moonbow & Ludurana Show are the perfect pair they have the same color shift and really compliment each other I think it looks magical! Ludurana Show is my all time favorite polish and the only polish I keep a back up of I was excited to get another chance to wear it.

Hits Phenomena - Afterglow

I love color shifting and duochrome polishes I find them to be really enchanting I love to move my nails around and watch the colors shift I have had the Hits Phenomena polishes for way too without swatching them I am really glad I finally tried Afterglow the other day it looks great over OPI Ink it really helps show off all the different colors isn't it great when you find a hidden treasure in your stash.

Hits Mari Moon Collection - Dreamer

I took these pics months ago but never posted them as the name had rubbed of the label, I have really busy the past couple of weeks moving and haven't had a chance to swatch any polishes so I am running out of pics to post, Dreamer is a gorgeous purple, to blue to red to gold duochrome one of my favorites from the Mari Moon Collection.

Hits Mari Moon Collection - Unconventional

Hits Mari Moon Unconventional is a burgundy to purple to blue duochrome the fomula of this polish was a little so my swatches aren't perfect it is a pretty color but not my favorite from this collection.

Hits No Olimpo Collection - Dionisio

Hits Dionisio is a purple jelly scattered holo, the purple looks quite light in my photos which were taken in direct sunlight but a lot of other swatches I have seen of this color make it look a lot darker this was only two coats so maybe it could have done with a third coat or a base color underneath.

Hits No Olimpo Collection - Hermes

Hits Hermes is a pale gold scattered holo it is definitely one of the better gold holos I have tried is a lot lighter and not nearly as yello, gold normally does not suit my skin tone but I don't think this color looks to bad on me.
