I am back with Part 2 of The Polished Hippy's 2019 Favorites! Here I cover 31 of my favorite products featured on the blog in the last year. This does not include everything I loved, but just the products reviewed on the blog. The bolded name of each product links back to the original review if you want more information. Let's get going!

Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers Lion Whisperer is pretty much the perfect gold holo - not only is it super linear and metallic, but it has a tiny bit of duochrome shift. Add a quick-drying formula and I am in love! This appeared in Polish Pickup At the Carnival August 2019.
Nailed It Polish Never Forgotten was part of the Alzheimer's Awareness 2019 Duo with Wildflower Lacquer. Not only is it a charity polish for an important cause, the vibrant purple seems to glow from within via its multichrome shift. Gorgeous!
Necessary Evil Polish Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend appeared in the August 2019 Hella Handmade Creations. This green blew me away with its spectacular formula and multichrome and holo sparkle. And aren't the bottle logos awesome?
Night Owl Lacquer No Scars to Your Beautiful from the March 2019 Polish Pickup Album Covers had the most amazing teal base with vibrant flashes of multichrome flake. The combo was fantastically eye-catching.
Northern Star Polish Stormy Weather from Polish Pickup Weather Phenomena June 2019 combines a gorgeous teal base shade with subtle flashes of flakes and holo, along with the brand's typical creamy formula. I always look forward to Northern Stars for the consistent quality and tasteful conceptions.
Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Wasteland from the Love Nikki: The Seven Nations Part 1 is one o the brand's classic jelly holos. I am always keen on neutral polishes with a kick, and the little complimentary copper flecks in this one are so special.
Orosa Beauty Midnight is from the Fall 2019 Set. The brand specializes in cremes and generally pretty spectacular ones! Midnight was a standout because I love navy-type deep blues.
Paint It Pretty Polish More Love Less Paperwork was from the Valentine's Day Trio 2019. This magenta has so much fire to it thanks to a gorgeous contrast shimmer and sprinkle of holo.
Peachtree Polish Masked Parade from the Polish Pickup At the Carnival August 2019 was one of my favorite blue polishes of all time. Look at the vibrancy and depth of that base! The holo and red flakes make it look like gemstones on your nails.
Pepper Pot Polish BFF (Breast Friends Forever) was from the Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Box 2019. The base has just that hint of neon, combined with a cooler shimmer and iridescent glitter, to make a special impression!
Poetry Cowgirl Polish Choose Hope from the Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Box 2019 is a unique combination of a gunmetal metallic and amazing multichrome. I have nothing else like it in my collection! It really makes silver gray flashy.
Polish 'M Gloomy Skies from the Spring 2019 Collection grabbed me with its ominous gray, yet warm, base color, slight duochrome shift, and holo flakes. It perfectly channels the excitement of oncoming spring thunderstorms.
Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Amalthea from the Do You Believe in Unicorns? Collection also grabbed my gray-loving heart! This one has so much holo sparkle in the sun and multichrome shift in the shade. Who says gray is ever boring? This polish has it all going on.
Pretty Jelly Nail Polish A Whole New World from Polish Pickup Magic & Alchemy September 2019 is like the purple version of my 2018 Pretty Jelly favorite, Groot! The foil finish with multichrome flakes and holo makes me feel like an otherwordly robot, at least on my fingertips.
Quixotic Polish Extraordinary Jelly Beans was from the Fandom Flakies Box August 2019 The Office. The brand had a really standout year, but this is a particularly amazing polish. Red, ultra-holo, and flake-filled? Be still, my reddish rainbow heart!
Riverwood Apothecary included a Sea Salt Hand & Foot Scrub in the Mother's Day Indulgence Set with Rogue Lacquer. I got to try the scent Botanical Garden and I love its fresh, garden-earthy fragrance. The best part? Its fine pumice abrasive was particularly effective at clearing my hands of flakes and the oils in it left them silky smooth.
Rogue Lacquer does jelly flake polishes like no other, and Mind Flayer from the Stranger Things Creepy Crawlers Duo is a perfect example. Beautiful fast drying formula and tons of flash. I can't wait for more!
I've been wearing Sally Hansen polishes for over 30 years now, but have a particular affection for the vampy sort of reds from the brand I wore in the mid-1990s. Miracle Gel 474 Can't Beet Royalty brings me right back, with the perfect brown tinge and slightly jelly-like, shiny look.
Seventy-Seven Nail Lacquer Nearly Lost You from the 2019 Small Batch Birthday Releases is pretty much the perfect green jelly holo. Tons of linear shine, juicy jelly texture, rich shade, and perfect formula. SO much love!
Starlight Polish Slate Fire from the By Request Collection was a hard choice. I wanted to pick so many different shades from that release, but had to settle down on this one because of the unique and strong gray-blue jelly base. So interesting and unique! But it was a hard pick and you should check them all out!
Supermoon Lacquer Seesaw from the 2019 Bias Duo is a predictable pick for me. Yeah, I'm always going to glom on to the brand's red holos as my favorites! This one is super-opaque and ticks all my boxes. Yum!
Supernatural Lacquer Keep Calm and Fight Cancer from the Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Box 2019 is just the kind of polish I love - ultra holo with a vampy color and multichrome shift! This one is perfectly done.
Sweet Heart Polish Purple Haze from Polish Pickup Great Works of Art April 2019 lulls you into its depths with shimmery fuchsia jelly perfection. Great formula and hey - look at that holo label! It has the whole package.
The Soapy Chef had so many nice products this year, but my heart had to go to the brand's signature product, soap! I always use indie soap in my soap dishes, and this one lasted so long without losing its lather and the citrus scent of Citrus Bomb was delicious. What a hit!
Tonic Nail Polish Break of Day was from the February 2019 Polish Palette. I love the subtle gray-blue and brown colors of this thermal and the glow-from-within shimmer makes it unique and really special.
Turtle Tootsie Polishes Deep Fried Oreos from the Polish Pickup At the Carnival August 2019 has a gorgeous formula and just the right amount of shifting shimmer to make it into one of my favorite genres - a neutral with a kick!
Under a Hula Moon I'm Gonna Love You Through It Clamshell Wax was from the Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Box 2019. The pour is simple and beautiful and the scent divine - so fresh and floral!
VeFit Nail Lacquer Bora Bora has a shimmer that glows from its rich green jelly base, and even has a bit of duochrome shift! It really does channel tropical waters.
Wildflower Lacquer Improve the Silence from the Ever After Collection has the most amazing multicolored iridescent flakes and pop from its deep green jelly holo base. The formula is silky smooth and it is one of those polishes that wows in both the sun and shade!
Zombie Claw Polish Mourning from the Creature of the Night Collab with Copacetic Cosmetics has an almost neon iridescent flash from its flakes, plus plenty of holo sparkle from its microglitters. Even with all that going on it has a great formula and is smooth. What is not to love?
Zoya Nail Polish ZP884 Everly is one of the brand's magical flake holo jellies from the Winter Holos Collection 2018. I always get beyond excited when they release them and this is a red, so I gotta love it. Here's to hoping for more Zoyas in this finish in 2020?
