My top 5 of 2010

Hey people. Me again. I'm getting this out in the last moments, I'm about to hit the showers and tomorrow I'm gonna have a hectic day, preparing for NY party, so i better write it down now. Jette Fromm tagged me with my top 5 of 2010, check her top 5 too! :)  

Here it is, for 5th to first place. I payed attention about this being all 2010 collections, although I discovered this year some of really the best polish ever, from previous collections.

5. I had to do a tie, I'm sorry. MAC Bad Fairy  from Venomous Villains is one baddass polish, and I can't choose between her and Orly's Meet Me Under The Mistletoe from Orly's Holiday Collection. So they share the fifth place. And this is by far the best I could do to shrink the number. ;)

4. O.P.I. Nevermore from Go Goth! Halloween Collection. I cheated, I know, it's actually Ink, but it did came out this year! :P

3. Violet Sparkle from Nubar Sparkle Collection for Spring 2010.

2. Verde from Nubar Venetian Glass Fall Collection 2010.

1. And, of course, you probably saw this one coming. From the Cosmic FX Orly's 2010 Fall Collection, Space Cadet!

This is it. It was hard for me to choose, even in this year my crushes were also Who The Shrek Are You?, Halley's Comet, Fire Sparkle and so on. And some of my biggest lemmings come from this year, but I just didn't have the opportunity or/and money to buy them. Like quite a few bottles from BB Couture's Ladybug collection and Infamous Lovers, where I want like entire set. :)
One thing did surprise me. No China Glaze in my top 5? What? I worship China Glaze, right now it's my number 1 brand, from all the gems I discovered lately! But I have to admit, their collection from this year weren't my cup of tea, with the exception of the Holiday collection, where I still have three polishes to try out, and I do suspect Jolly Holly would have made it to the list.

Saying all this, I must mention a few of my biggest crushes this year, that are found in earlier collections, but I discovered them in this one. In no particular order:

China Glaze: DV8, Watermelon Rind, Wagon Trail. (2009 OMG, 2009 Summer Days, 2008 Rodeo Diva)

Kinetics: Magnificent (2008 Pure Elegance)

O.P.I.: Yoga-ta Get This Blue, DS Glamour (2008 India, no collection that I know of)

SpaRitual: Mood (2008 Inspired)

Illamasqua: Rampage (I don't know when it was released, Scrangie first mentions it in may 2009)

Magnetic: Spectacular (Spect.) Stone (I don't think Magnetic gets out in collections)

Zoya: Rea, Suvi, Midori (both 2008 Downtown, 2009 Oh-La-La).

And bazillion more. I'm sure I forgot quite a few of them. But there you have it. A sneak peak into my nail polish favourites. :) 

And now I must tag, haha! I tag Lalica, Biba, Nail Crazy, AmyGrace, Alluring_mum, Taya, Sonidlo and everybody else on my blogroll, because I'm tooootally curious about your top five! Come on! :) And if you're not a blogger or don't have time for posting it, write it down in the comments. :)) 

All that is left for me to do now, as I'm already typing this away on the last day of 2010, is that I wish you  

a happy new year, may it be succesful, full of love, laughter and joy, may your expectations be reached and surpassed and let us all have the best nail polish year! 

Thank you for reading, have a great new year's party!

Magnetic - Spectacular Stone

Hey everyboooody! How are you? It's fridaaay night! Since I was out yesterday and got around 4 hours of sleep tonight, I'm so staying at home, drinking my coffee and doing my nails or reading a good book or something. :) It's freezing in Ljubljana, I hope you're somewhere warm! :) Todays polish is an exception in my Latvia try-out phase and Parokeets ladies are to blame. ;) Maestra showed us Freakin Violet which is sooo freaking awesome. I went through their Magnetic entries straight away after seeing it and fell in love with a couple of babies. But Spect. Stone stole my heart. I went through the online catalogue and saw by chance Spect. is short for Spectacular, if any of you were wondering, there you have it. :) Aaand, my lucky luck - I remembered Tevta mentioned Magnetic holo when giving me the CGs and that I have it in my China Glaze try-out shoe-box. Btw, I got extra nice surprise today from Tevta, but more about that later. :) Lets just say, I still won't get through my untrieds for a while. ;) 

But anyway, let's look at this beauty. I got a bit of sun today, yaaay! And you know holo goes crrrrazy on sunlight! You'll see on the pictures my cuticle on middle fingure is hurt, as I mentioned it in a comment somewhere already. I really hate it, it doesn't go well with my cuticle OCD, but the Badger is already healing it, and I think it will be good tomorrow. Concerts aren't good for cuticles, appearantly. ;)

 Isn't this just insanely hot? I loooove it! Tip-wear on sunlight pictures, since it's the second day of wearing. 

There you have it. No words necessary, I'd think. Guess what? Only ring and little finger are two coats, index and middle are just one, so yes, we have a one coater!! 

Honestly, I thought "oh crap", when I looked at the brush. It's longer than any brush I ever used. But it's a total bliss! Application was smooth, not problematic, I had it done in a few minutes, it went on nail like butter on bread. I love holographic polish, and this is really insanely good. It's not the China Glaze type of holo, I think Gejba really nailed it when she said it's more like My Private Jet holo. And the dusty purple base colour is just too perfect.

I don't have anyhing more to say about this, I have no complaints whatsoever. I'm wearing it without top coat, and it dries superfast, so I don't need it. The tip-wear is minimal, as you can see, on the second day with my quite long nails, this is really a minor tip-wear. I think I'm totally gonna buy this one and Freakin' Violet. And maybe a couple more. Shimmering Bronze looks great too, oh, and did I see a blue holo in the catalogue?? 

Really awesome nail-polish! 

What do you think? Like it, own any bottles?

Thank you for reading!
