The year is coming to an end it is that time to pick our faves!! I've been all about these posts because I love seeing everyone's picks as their faves for the year. I didn't get to do this last year because I had just started blogging and I didn't really have much to choose from. I originally intended to only do a "Top 10" but the task of narrowing my list down from 57colors on my short list (LOOOL) down to just Ten was just impossible. So I'm doing things a little different for my 2011 Faves...
I've decided to break my picks down into different categories. I will be showing you guys my Top 10 International/ Indie brands in one post, my top Ten mainstream brand picks in one post and I have chosen Five "honorable mentions" as well. These will all be colors from 2011. Tonight I will be showing you guys my Five honorable mentions. These are colors that I absolutely fell in love with but they didn't seem to get that much recognition from blogland. These are in no particular order. Let's get to it shall we?!
Zoya Kendall: Feel Collection/ Winter 2011
Color Club Nomadic in Nude: Back to Boho/ Fall 2011Collection
I remember when I first received this collection for review I started with this color because I thought it was the most boring... I ended up wearing it for Four days and not wanting to take it off. I later found out that this was a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Waking up in Vegas which kinda explained my strange attraction to this rather unusual Greige.
O.P.I On Stranger Tides: Pirates of the Caribbean Collection/Summer Brights 2011
When this collection came out I hated it.. And then I received them.. And swatched them and I was immediately drawn to this shade. A lot of people were going mad about Mermaid's Tears and Silver Shatter but this shade really stood out to me. I love the "dirty minty Green" quality about it.
China Glaze Pelican Grey: Anchors Away/ Spring 2011 Collection
I love Grey. Plain and simple. Even though I own about 68 different shades of Grey this one is really special due to the awesome Pearly shimmer that seems to float on the surface.
Zoya Mitzi: Mod Mattes/ Summer 2011 Collection
That is is for my honorable mentions. These are colors that while I loved them very much they came just a little short of my Top Picks but still needed to be recognized. These may be a little plain or boring to some I find them so pretty and refreshing. Tomorrow I will be showing you guys my Top 10 Indie/ International Brand picks. That is where things really get exciting!
Have a good nite loves! Thought?

I actually own 4 of these (all except Kendall and I don't own that because I was broke this whole season and couldn't afford that collection). I absolutely love all of these colors; good choices! Can't wait to see the rest of your picks. :)
ReplyDeletePelican Gray and Kendall are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteNomadic in Nude is my favorite nude of the year.
ReplyDeleteYESSSS Stranger Tides is one of my all-time favorites. What an awesome color. Now I want Nomadic in Nude, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the Zoya Feel collection but never saw it at my nail supply store, and I am strangely drawn to Stranger Tides...Also, I'm not so sure about the Deborah Lippmann dupe claim for Nomadic in Nude. I intend to do a comparison eventually but have so many other colors to try!
ReplyDeleteAh, I have been wanting Pelican Grey for so long, it's so clean and beautiful! I love your honorable mention selections :)
ReplyDeleteFirst Zoya and CG are definitely 'my' colors ;)
ReplyDeleteDo they really look so jelly or is this just your top coat?
Really lovely choices you have here!!
ReplyDeleteLove your choices!
ReplyDeleteI love your favs. I don't have Kendall or Nomadic in Nude but I really love Stranger Tides, Pelican Gray and Mitzi are not in my top though.
