Top 10 Favorite Nail Polishes

Hello everybody!! Today I'm going to show you my Top 10 Nail Polishes... (for the moment). There are millions of nail polish brands and colors out there so coming up with 10 was quite a struggle. I tried to pick only permanent shades that are always available but there are 2 that are limited edition. Don't get upset though, they are still available, so if you love one of these don't wait too long to get it. I picked these polishes because they are the ones I tend to wear frequently and I know I won't be disappointed with the color, wear or finish of them. I applied 2 coats of each polish and I did not use a top coat. I will include pictures with flash and no flash so you can see how they look in different lighting. Please excuse my nails, they're looking rough but I'm getting a manicure next week (I better be.. I'm getting married.. Lol!) ...Enjoy and let me know which nail polish you can't live without!!

Essie: Topless & Barefoot- This is a warm nude/beige cream. It applies evenly and I love the brush Essie uses, they are thin and not bulky like other brushes. Essie retails at $8.

OPI: Italian Love Affair- This is a really pretty baby pink with a pearly shimmer finish. It's a bit translucent but with 2 coats it usually looks great. OPI brushes are descent and apply the product evenly. OPI retails at $8.50.

MAC Cosmetics- Mean & Green- This one is definitely at the top of my list. It's such a cool color. It is a green and golden purple duochrome that changes as you move your hand. This polish came out with the "Disney Venomous Villains" collection and was limited edition but MAC just recently brought it back and is available at the stores right now. MAC Nail Polishes retail at $16.

Orly: Royal Navy- This is one of my favorite blue polishes. It is a true royal blue jelly base with teal glitter. The glitter is very subtle not like the ones in My Private Jet or Royal Pumps but it is still a fantastic color. I love Orly brushes as well the application is flawless. Orly retails at $8
