Love at First Sight - It's All About the Looks - Part II

Here are the top part of my bottle top 20. To see the bottom part, go to this post. This is purely my opinion, so if you disagree... well, then you disagree :D Bottom 10 post can be found here.

10. $OPI - You are sort of like OPI, but more ugly. Why?9. OPI - Your shape is ok, a bit top heavy, but I like you.

8. Lippmann - Oh, I am so torn about you. You are sort of square, but you also have fantastic details and such a pretty cap. Very vintage.


7. Sally Hansen - You have a lot of hella ugly bottles, so I decided to do you a favor and pick the prettiest one (you can thank me later). A little over the top with the gem maybe, but still beautiful.6. Zoya - While you are somewhat square, you still manage to have curves. We can be friends.5. Sinful - You are round. I like it.4. Nubar - You are very pretty and I like your writing.3. GOSH - I really like you. It's kind of like you copied MAC, but did a better job. Very minimalistic and chic.2. China Glaze - I think I sort of love you. You have a pretty shape, a stylish cap, and a kick ass logo.1. Nfu-Oh - Oh, my queen. Definitely the prettiest of the bunch. Just about to go overboard and become way too kitch, you manage to remain in balance and dazzle me with your gorgeous looks. Winner!

Love at First Sight - It's All About the Looks - Part I

January is the time of year to make top 10 and 20 and 100 lists. Here is mine:

Packaging - I love it. I love looking at my nail polish bottles from different angles (yeah, it's sick, I know). So obviously the packaging is important. My decision to buy is impacted by the bottle... a lot. There are few things that will turn me off from buying a polish. The most important is shape - I hate squares (guess I have squarephobia). They are ugly and they hurt my eyes. I can live with rounded squares if the rest is awesome. Color: the packaging color has to be classy, not gaudy... yuck.

So here is my list going from craptastic to fantabulous. Today I'll share the bottom 10. Stay tuned for the top.


20. Max Factor - Holy shit. Not only does the content suck, the packaging is hella ugly. Clumsy shape with gold writing and a white and gold cap. Klassy.... :


19. CND - you suck, sorry. In addition to the squareness you also have an ugly cap and an ugly logo. Epic Fail:
18. Misa - Almost as ugly-square as CND:
17. Essie - Square with white cap - disgusting:
16. Color Club - You are square and your logo looks cheap (I sort of like the flower though): 15. Rescue Beauty Lounge - I don't like you. You are square with ugly writing. And you're too expensive: 14. Orly - Your ugly grey cap ruins what could have been decent (and I hate your name - Yarly):

13. Chanel - You are so square I don't even want you. Haha:12. SpaRitual - Very funky. You are round and you have ridges. Thumbs up: 11. MAC - You are not bad, but while you are round, you still manage to look sort of square:
