I am ready with the 3rd part of The Polished Hippy's 2018 Favorites! This post covers brands starting with letters L to P. I will warn you it is photo heavy and not minimalist in the least! Now, these are not all the polishes I loved in 2018, just ones that were reviewed on the blog and I have pictures of. Click the name of the polish in bold to check out my original review! There will be one final post after this with polishes to the end of the alphabet. Onward with more gorgeous polish!

Lemming Lacquer Delicious Surprise was part of February Polish Pickup. Juicy red jellies get me every time and I love the flakes that add depth to this one!LevelUp Lacquer Baroness of Sugarland was part of February Polish Pickup. The mix of different holos and holo glitters plus iridescent flakes made this a fun interpretation of pink.
Lilypad Lacquer Herbs and Spice is a remarkably complex neutral holo with a variety of shimmers and shifting glitters that lay flat. The brand is carried by Psyche's Beau, which is where this bottle came from.
Literary Lacquers The Man in Black was from the As You Wish Trio. I loved the flakes and glitters in a self-leveling, smooth matte black polish. Literary Lacquers has been on hiatus, but I hope she comes back soon!
Lollipop Posse Lacquer Those Who Were Neither was from January 2019 Polish Pickup, but appeared on the blog in 2018. This polish has EVERYTHING! Ultra holo flash and fun shifting elements. It really made a splash when it was released.
LynB Designs Saccharine Breeze was from February Polish Pickup. It is a fun, shimmery interpretation of hot pink!
Mace Polish How Do You Like Them Apples? was from February Polish Pickup. I love the shifting glitters in a bright green base!
Moon Shine Mani The One with All the Candy came out with February Polish Pickup. Moon Shine Mani always does such stunning multichromes, and I like the red tones of this one along with multichrome glitters.
Moonflower Polish Enchanted Rose was from August Polish Pickup. It is an amazing, ultra-holo stamping polish that has a great, smooth formula for regular manis, too. It is one of my favorite polishes, and luckily Moonflower Polish now has a whole collection of these holo stampers, the Gemstones Collection. They are opaque enough that they stand out out against the base, but still have tons of holo sparkle.
Ms. Sparkle Nail Polish Quest for Nebula was from the Tales of the Cosmos Collection. This collection featured four black jelly polishes with different combos of shifting microflakes. I loved this one with a red-green shift. These are perfect bases for galaxy manis!
My Indie Polish Bubble Gum Ice Cream was from February Polish Pickup. This really does look like ice cream on your nails! The shred glitters lie pretty smooth and it is a really pretty shade of blue.
Nail Hoot Lacquer The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries was from February Polish Pickup. This purple is so vibrant, and the shift gives it a whole other dimension!
Night Owl Lacquer Gone to My Happy Place was the group custom for Indie Positivity in August. This rich blue jelly base is so gorgeous, and the fire of the red multichrome flakes and shimmer makes it even more stunning.
Northern Star Polish Uff Da was from the Minnesota Nice Collaboration. Northern Star does some amazing shimmer polishes and I love how this is a classic shade but has such rich detail, such as the flashes of indigo.
Nvr Enuff Polish Frozen in the 90s was from the February Polish Pickup. The blue shimmer against the magenta base makes this polish so rich and glowing!
Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Necromancy was from the Halloween 2018 Collection. I will always love red holos, and the deep color of this one along with the shift makes it extra sophisticated.
Pahlish Sweetness & Light was from February Polish Pickup. This is a foil with a huge array of different shimmer colors and it is just fascinating!
Peachtree Polish Choc-O-Mint was from February Polish Pickup. Once top coated, this shimmer microglitter just glowed! It was really popular the month it released and channeled the inspiration perfectly.
Pepper Pot Polish Jean-Claude (the Truffles from Brussels) was from February Polish Pickup. The flashes of holo microglittter brought this pretty green shimmer alive!
Poetry Cowgirl Polish It's All Sugar was from February Polish Pickup. I have loved matte microglitters for years now, and this one is really fun with a wide range of colors and a base of holo shimmer!
Polish 'M Life is What You Bake It from February Polish Pickup is a wonderful classic crelly, with a shifting shimmer background that makes it extra lovely.
Polished for Days You Glow Girl was from February Polish Pickup. I am in love with all the complex multichrome holo and flake polishes the brand creates! This was the polish I picked to wear for my birthday month traveling in Japan! It held up perfectly.
Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Evermore was from August Polish Pickup. The brand does really complex and beautiful finishes and I really like the flash of color in the shimmer against the neutral, gray background.
Pretty Jelly Nail Polish I Am Groot was from April Polish Pickup and just dazzled me with its foil finish, color shift, holo flakes, and multichrome! This polish had dazzle in spades and a perfect formula.
I have one more post to go with my picks from brands starting with Q to Z. I am continually amazed at the quality indie brands consistently put out now - there were so many nice options to choose from, and of course I picked a lot! Do you have any favorites here?
