Best of 2011...part two.

Worst. New. Years. Ever.

I may be being over dramatic. But I did not buy another TV so Nick and my brother could play Xbox on both of them. I bought it so I could watch TV when the angry shooting noises coming from the lounge got too much. New years isn't a big deal to me, but couldn't they have done it another night. New years isn't high on my holiday celebrations list because I love Christmas so much and New Years just seems like the end of Christmas to me. I do how ever love New Years day...yeah I'm an odd one

Anyway it's still only 10:00pm. There's still time...? Hahaha who am I kidding.


Smokey is watching you... I don't think she's too impressed with the boys gaming either.

And now what I actually planned to post...my favourite glitters and cremes off 2011.

Color Club Space Case
 Space Case came out with the Starry Temptress collection. A neon, with shimmer and glitter? Sounds awesome? It is awesome!

Revlon Starry Pink
 Starry Pink is such a pretty delicate pink with silver glitter. Girly and full of glitter whilst still being rather demure. I think I like it best layered over aEngland Iseult.

Cult Captivated
 Cult Nails has produced some awesome polishes this year. Captivated is a gorgeous coral jelly filled with shimmer gold glitter. Amazing on the nails and I do love a good coral!

China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara
 I actually haven't posted pictures of the China Glaze Eye Candy collection, but I have been wearing them. In fact two have made my top 20 list. Lorelei's Tiara was always going to be one I'd fall in love with. Silver glitter and blue glitter and so darn sparkly.

China Glaze Some Like it Haute
 Some like it Haute is the other Eye Candy polish to make my list. I know it's one of those duped polishes, but this is the only version I'll be getting my hands on. I love the charcoal glitter and the holo glints that sparkle like crazy.

OPI Excuse Moi!
 Excuse Moi is just plain awesome. Predominately pink but filled with rainbow glitter. Awesome! If I keep wearing this once a week like I've been doing I'm going to need a new bottle fast.

OPI Spark de Triomphe
 Sparke de Triomphe is one of those amazing glitters that have the same colour but different sized particles of glitter in them. What makes it stand out even more is that it's not silver, it's more of a white gold... Argh. I can't explain the colour but it's awesome.

Zoya Jana
 Jana is one of my favourite neutral polishes to wear. Neutral yet a bit edgy. Jana also looks fantastic with OPI Movin' Out on top.

aEngland Galahad
 I love love love Turquoise/teal/aqua and any shade of blue/green or green/blue so Galahad had to make my list. Amazingly creamy formulae as well.


China Glaze Near Dark
 Near Dark is a surprise love this year. Normally I haven't been so into dark colours, but I find Near Dark is the perfect dark polish for me to wear. You might not be able to tell but it looks awesome with my skin and matches most of my autumn/winter clothing.

Deborah Lippmann Naked
Naked s my favourite nude of the year. Anytime I can't decide on a colour or I need to keep a polish on longer than 2 days I turn to Naked. Before my wedding I wore Naked non-stop. It's the perfect nude. It's the perfect base for glitters. Naked is just perfect on me.

And those conclude my top 20 polishes for 2011. I hope everyone had a fabulous 2011 and is looking forward to an even better 2012. I know I am!

Best of 2011...part one.

Argh I had such a hard time narrowing down my favourite polishes of 2011 to just 20. I started off with a pile of 60 odd...there have been some awesome polishes released this year.

I somehow managed to get it down to 20, so lets take a look t my favourite shimmers, glass flecks and holo's of the year.

Zoya Neeka
 Neeka is a stunning purple with awesome flecky shimmers. Very flattering and just plain awesome to be honest.

Essie Brazilliant
 Brazilliant was my favourite orange of the year. Bright and vibrant with a smidge of pink shimmer. I wore this one to the beach boxing day and it was perfect.

OPI I Eat Maine-ly Lobster
 I love a good coral, specially one with some hidden shimmers. I Eat Maine-ly Lobster may be an unusual colour for a Fall Collection but I'm glad OPI put it out.

Orly Oui
 Oui is one sexy shimmery purple/gold. Oui was my favourite polish that followed the heavy gold shimmer trend. Oui is slightly more purple than OPI It's My Year and in my books prettier.


Rescue Beauty Lounge Piu Mosso
 Piu Mosso is one sexy polish. Dark Navy with cooper shimmer...enough said to be honest.

Revlon Royal Cloak
 I wasn't sure I needed Royal Cloak but when I saw it at Farmers I just had to have it. Glad I bought it. Royal Cloak is an incredibly flattering purple and it has flecks.

China Glaze Blue Years Eve
 Blue Years Eve is amazing. Yes it's fairly close to Blue Iguana and Drink' My Blues Away...but it's deeper and more vibrant somehow... Nick even commented on how awesome the colour was. He never comments on my nails unless the colour is highly awesome. I plan on painting Blue Years Eve on my nails soon as I get up to celebrate the New Year...

China Glaze Glitter Garland
 Glittering Garland is another winner from China Glaze. I'm not normally into green, but Glittering Garland had me wanting to wear green every day leading up to Christmas. It's such a flattering and pretty polish.

Glitter Gal 3D Holo Silver
 Ok so Silver may not have been released this year, but it was made accessible this year for a lot of people and I was luck enough to review it. OMG it's the best silver holo I have. Look at the freaking rainbows.

a-England Tristam
Tristam is amazing. Deep blue with holo particles...sexy. Oh did I mention the formulae is amazing. I'm in love.

There you have it the first 10 polishes in my top 20 for 2011. Please remember this is just my opinion. Love my opinion or hate it? Let me know! 

Look out for the cremes and glitters will be coming tomorrow.
