LacquerExpression's Top 5 Indie Polish Picks (As of Right Now!)

Hello there lovely readers!  For today's blog post, I teamed up with 29 fellow nail polish enthusiasts and bloggers to share our top 5 indie polish picks! This was not easy, but I managed to stay on task and complete the selections!



All polishes purchased by me

I narrowed down my choices by picking polishes that were worn as full-coverage, polishes that I used within the past 6 months, and polishes that are still available for purchase. Below are my picks in alphabetical order:
