Which one did you like the best? I really loved getting to go back through my posts from throughout the year. It reminded me of what I have tackled, what I got better at and what I have still yet to take on!!!

Tomorrow I will post a bit about some nail polish confessions and some goals for the new year!

Top Nail Polishes of 2014

Now not all of these are necessarily new in 2014, but they were new to me in 2014.

My obsession with nail polish and nail art really took off this year, and while this blog has been around for a few years now, it really turned into mostly nail-related in February of this year.

I have been doing my nails pretty consistently since 2012, but I think this is the first year I really discovered a new love of polish, an huge interest in independent brands and just a true love for nail art and all the lovely nail blogging community that comes with it.

So let’s get down to it, my favorites of 2014. I’ll start with my favorite polish of 2014. These might not necessarily be new in 2014 (most are), but they were new to me and definite standouts for the year.

These are not in any particular order, and any link that takes you to my Instagram, will mostly likely be a post in the future, but nail polish I used this year.
