Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
Great picks all around!
Well I love Purple Rain, Bronze goddess is a beaut too, and the Zoya sparkle- ooh and Men’s Formal is lovely I love the duochrome effect in the pictures- to be honest there is something from everymonth I just love. (Guess I’ll have to work some OT, LOL) I have bought some of the Orly Cosmic FX and a coupla things from Venomous Villians when it was out and I’m waiting on my order from Cherry Culture for a couple Lip Flash pencils which I had to get from your review!
My favorite polish for this year is OPI Cuckoo for this color!! Oh, and I love your picks, they’re so amazing. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Wow! So many great colors. Makes me look forward to 2011!

I think I loved and bought a lot of beauty products in 2010 (too many!), but the Chanel Spring Pearl Collection is probably my favorite if I had to pick just one…I’m loving the polish and the eyeshadows/lip glosses! Nice review of 2010! You did a great job reviewing beauty products this year..I always look forward to your posts. Your writing is succinct, informal and informative and the quality of your photos is outstanding. Happy 2011 !
I’m very glad that I stumbled upon your blog this year! It’s good to know that others share my (almost) addiction to nail polish!
Love your choices! I’m glad I actually own a few of them!
Awesome list for 2010, pretty much sums it all up!
What an amazing list of choices! I don’t think I could have narrowed it down so well like you. It was a great year of reviews from you on makeup and I’m looking forward to what’s next! You and Mr. VV have a safe and Very Happy New Year! Look forward to seeing you in 2011!
Nice choices…some I agree with…others, not-so-much. The lip glass is so pretty!
I think the pic for Estee Bronze Goddess is wrong…looks like Ultra Violet to me.

Hi Elizabeth,
Bronze Goddess is the name of the collection, the nail color is Ultra Violet.
Lots of lovely stuff! I can’t believe you didn’t choose Revlon’s Perplex, too!

Oh, and I have to say THANK YOU for all you do! I’ve found so many great products thanks to you, and you’re always thorough and fair in your reviews. (My bank account, however, does not thank you in the least.) Happy New Year!

Nobody is better qualified than you to comment on varnish. So glad you included lots of BB Couture collections. They deserve it!

I gasped when I saw your NARS Purple Rain swatch the first time I saw it and again now! It’s gorgeous, and you’ve captured it well with your great photography skills.

I love how you divided them by months, awesome!

Lovely!

MAC’s Venomous Villains put a HUGE dent in my wallet LOL I think I ended up with all the lippies and face powders! I find myself reaching for a piece from these collections daily. I wish I had bought back ups! Zoya’s Sparkle collection launched me into nail obsession
Great picks!
Great post! I went out and got the Zoya Kelly right after your post in July was it? I loooove the color!
Love NARS Purple Rain! I think that’s my favorite from this bunch.
Does it count that I don’t have it yet? Milani’s Rockstar Heavy Glitter, Deborah Lippmann shades with the hexagon glitters, China Glaze’s Vintage Vixen, and the OPI Burlesque Glitters.
Wait, add Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. I think it was released this year.

What a great trip down memory lane! I have picked up many of the polishes from your list…probably too many! New Year’s Resolution 2011: use all the polish I own….at least once! Have a wonderful New Year, VV!
p.s. My favorite polish of 2010…tie between Rescue Beauty Lounge “360″ and Chanel “Paradoxal”
Great choices! My favorites this year have been China Glaze Ingrid, OPI Teas-y Does It and Orly’s Galaxy Girl.
Great picks! I also love NARS Etrusque eyeshadow and China Glaze Zombie Zest. I would add Urban Decay’s NAKED palette. Happy New Year, VV!
Wonderful choices! I love Orly Space Cadet and Zoya Charla.

I agree with most of your choices, especially NARS Purple Rain!
VV, do you have OPI Top-10, Zoya Top-10, China Glaze Top-10 & BB Top-10? It’ll be so interesting to see yours.

Lots of beautiful nail polishes and makeup!
