"20 Polishes I Can't Live Without" Challenge

Amidst destashing a huge portion of my collection, I thought it'd be fun (and challenging) to come up with 20 polishes I can't live without. No way are these polishes ever getting destashed! Millie of The Nail Smith galore posted hers a few days ago so I'm quite late to the party on this one (even though I'm the host...). Let's get straight to it!

From top to bottom of the row, left to right:

1. Essie Shine of the Times: opalescent flakie topper

2. China Glaze Fairy Dust: scattered holographic glitter

3. Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow: gold glitter with gold shimmer

4. Essence Julia: holographic, silver square and hex glitter

5. Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters: multicolored glitter

6. OPI Samoan Sand: peachy beige nude

7. Essie Sugar Daddy: sheer pink nude
8. Nails Inc. Porchester Square: pinky taupe nude creme
9. Elle Vintage Charm: pinky brown nude creme

10. Revlon Vixen: oxblood creme
11. Love & Beauty Peach Bud: pinky peach creme with silver shimmer

12. Sinful Colors Citrine: tangerine creme

13. Essie Absolutely Shore: pale sea foam creme
14. Avon Don't Be Jaded: jade creme

15. Essie Bikini So Teeny: periwinkle creme with subtle silver shimmer
16. Sally Hansen Pacific Blue: electric blue creme
17. Nicole by OPI Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam: deep teal creme

18. Chanel #583 Taboo: "purple" - deep blue base with red shimmer and blue-flakie shimmer
19. Essie Cocktail Bling: lilac-toned grey creme

20. Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris: black creme

So, theoretically, I could do with only these polishes... But would I want to? Of course not! Part of the reason why I have a sizable collection is because some polishes were gifts, keepsakes of certain memories/periods of my life, or souvenirs. I'm definitely not downsizing into the double digits anytime soon!

I really enjoyed this challenge and recreating my swatch book! I hope you did too. Thanks for looking!
