2012 Retrospective: Mainstream Polishes
01 Jan 2013

I don’t want to limit myself to a set number of polishes by doing a series of top X of 2012 so I’m going to do a three part retrospective of 2012 – mainstream polishes, indie polishes and NOTDs.  I”m kicking off with some mainstream polishes that were released in 2012 that quickly made it onto my high rotation list:

China Glaze Sweet Hook – Electropop Spring 2012

  1. Oh yes, all VERY good choices (esp. I’m Not Lion, it’s in my top 10 favorite polishes ever!)!!

  2. All great picks! I have ‘em all..Miss Conduct was a surprise – I thought it would be glitter and was soooo happy to find when I opened it, it’s a scattered holo that lays flat – divine – and in my fav shade of magenta to boot!

  3. A nice selection! Some have gone on my wishlist :)

  4. Let’s see – I love Sweet Hook (as I do most CG pastel cremes), I just picked up Miss Conduct because it looks so amazing (and isn’t a dupe for Zoya Blaze, yay!), and I’m still trying to get a bottle of Pirouette My Whistle… finally managed to snag Don’t Touch My Tutu!, at least.
    Very nice picks!

  5. All gorgeous polishes!!!

  6. That last picture.. perfect ♥.
