Nothing to Disclose

Today I have the final post in my Best of 2013 series. As I said already, it was NOT easy this year for sure because this has been the best year for polish that I can remember...ever.

By best polish - I mean overall of mainstream, indies, everything. And the winner is...
a-England
Sleeping Palace
I've worn this polish so often since it came out in May that I've nearly finished one bottle and I have 2 back-ups just in case. It's the polish I get the most compliments on as well. I had to order a 4th bottle just this week for a "muggle" friend who's never ordered polish on-line. It's part of the Burne-Jones Dream Collection.
The formula is perfection in a bottle. When I'm in a hurry I can do one quick coat and be out the door in less than 3 minutes. Yes, I've timed it! When I know I can leave it on for a few days, I do 2 coats and a top coat and it outlasts ME with no chips and very minimal tip wear. Usually I wear it without top coat (as pictured above) because I love that finish.
And that's not even starting on how gorgeous it is. The tightly scattered holo and the hard-to-describe brown/grey/taupe/aubergine color just combine to make it my favorite polish ever. Yes I said ever...not just for 2013. There's always a chance that will change, but it's going to have to be something pretty spectacular to oust this one!
Well that takes care of my Best of 2013 posts. What did you think?

ReplyDeleteMy pick for this year is Sleeping Palace's brother - Briarwood :) Though Sleeping Palace is a very close second. I love Sleeping Palace for being such a complex color. But Briarwood oh Briarwood this maroon just captured my heart :)
ReplyDeleteI love Briarwood, too! I have to say this was probably my favorite collection of the year.
DeleteBrilliant best of series posts. Just got to get me that winner! Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year <3
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my favorite of the year as well! Whenever I wear it I can't stop staring at my nails. It's a masterpiece of polish!
ReplyDeletePretty polish.
ReplyDeleteI will agree. I have the whole collection. It's the only whole collection that I have, but just could not leave one of them out.
ReplyDeleteI won't be entering bc as you said, it was a fab polish year. I just can't decide... but I know I need to order this one. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas, Sheila, and thanks for keeping up your wonderful blog. I look forward to your posts. :)
I have to agree, though Briarwood is so very close. A-England, the brand that NEVER gets it wrong. Dragon was my Christmas color. I've yet to find a brand that can match their formula or their colors.
