Disclosure Policy

♥

Well it's that time of year again! Time for my personal favorites of the year. And it was NOT easy this year for sure because this has been the best year for polish that I can remember...ever.

So here's how I've decided to break it down:

1: Top 15 Mainstream Brand Polishes - published
2: Top 10 Boutique Brand Polishes - published
3: Highlight: Top Five Indie Brands (with my favorites from each) - published
4: Top Indie Polishes of 2013 (excluding the Highlighted Brands) - published
5: Brand of the Year (with my top 15 from this brand) - published
6: Polish of the Year - published

As I publish each blog post I will add a link to the above list for future reference. ♥

So let's start with My Top 15 mainstream polishes after the jump...




I'm going alphabetically because it's a wonder I got them narrowed to 15, no way was I going to try to put them in any sort of order!
