2018 shortlist and honorable mentions

Here's my top 20 of 2018:
  1. Aggie (Zoya)
  2. Always Be A Dragon (Lucky 13)
  3. Bitter Buddhist (Smith & Cult)
  4. Cactus If You Can (KBShimmer)
  5. Cassiopeia (KL Polish)
  6. Cigars On Ice (Flirtin')
  7. Cybernetic (Pretty Serious)
  8. Enchanted (Starrily)
  9. Feel The Chemis-tree (OPI)
  10. Galaxy Gang (Starrily)
  11. Generally Hazzardous (Pretty Serious)
  12. Glass On Fire (Great Lakes)
  13. Grinchworthy (China Glaze)
  14. My Immortal (Pretty Serious)
  15. Pisces (KL Polish)
  16. Princess Penny (KL Polish)
  17. Rustling Leaves (Night Owl)
  18. Space Glam (Essence)
  19. Tastes Like Purple (Night Owl)
  20. You're A Mean One (China Glaze)
The full list I was cutting down from is below - it's more than three times this size!

I'm going to go ahead and pull one group out from this list, and that's the ones that are discontinued or were limited edition in the first place, and those become the Honorable Mentions. (Mostly these are indies from Polish Pickup, or they're Pretty Serious, which is now out of business. Plus the one stray Essence, which was from an LE collection, I think.)
  • Cigars On Ice (Flirtin')
  • Cybernetic (Pretty Serious)
  • Generally Hazzardous (Pretty Serious)
  • Glass On Fire (Great Lakes)
  • My Immortal (Pretty Serious)
  • Space Glam (Essence)
  • Tastes Like Purple (Night Owl)
(Tomorrow: we get down to a top 3!)


And because I'm a geek who can't get over wanting to show my work, here's another intermediate step, the one I mentioned above. Probably tl:dr for most everybody, really, but there are some more pictures at the bottom!
