The Polished Hippy's 2015 Favorites Part 2

I've got Part 2 of my yearly favorites for you today! Again, this is just a small sampling of the amazing polishes I wore in 2015 - I had to limit it to ones I had already photographed, but man, it makes me wish I had more fingers! If you missed it, Part 1 is here. Let's get started!

The Polished Hippy's 2015 Favorites Part 1

Whew! It's been quite a year - the first full year I have had my own blogging website as opposed to Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc. It has been a great adventure - I've learned SO much, which was the goal, and made many new friends who share this hobby. I am always impressed with how much people are willing to help and support each other in this community and I would like to thank all of the readers who take their precious time to read this blog, the people who make the gorgeous polish I feature, and my beloved fellow bloggers who keep this fun and interesting. I am deeply grateful for you all! I have a couple of mondo posts with a selection of my 2015 favorites. This is by no means comprehensive - there were so many more polishes I loved but decided to focus on the ones that I already had photographed and reviewed. Some of these pre-date 2015, obviously, but they were things I wore this past year and enjoyed. Let's get started after the break!

Influenster Unilever Dry Spray VoxBox: Degree Motionsense Dryspray Review

I received my second Influenster VoxBox recently and was pretty excited for the chance to try something new/old: spray-on antiperspirant, in this case Degree Motionsense Dryspray. While I mostly have covered indie nail polish so far, and still will, I will occasionally be featuring other beauty products on the weekends since I love to test things. Yeah, I am one of those people who wanders around Walmart randomly looking for new products, lol. Catch my thoughts following several weeks of testing after the break...
