You always do such an amazing job with comparisons, not only you compare a ton of polishes but you are also really good at capturing and describing the subtle differences. THANK YOU so much!

[@GoPolished]

Thank you! It does take a lot of time so I appreciate you saying that! 💜It makes it all feel worth my time 😀

[@Yuo7766]

Honestly, I'm really glad you review mostly mainstream collections Laurie 😊. I do like indies too but sometimes I feel like every polish review channel is about indies. And I love cream polishes too 🤗

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

I was just getting my thoughts together to say exactly this! I will watch some indie reviews because it's fun to look at the wild sparkly stuff, but I'm so glad for your channel when I'm researching polish colors I would actually wear.

[@GoPolished]

That is so good to hear! I LOVE mainstream brands so much so I am comfortable there! ♥

[@GoPolished]

@@bags_books_and_bowwows So good to know! Thank you!

[@ashleywashburn577]

Totally agree! Keep reviewing the mainstreams. Those are definitely what I prefer even if the super glittery shimmery indies are preferred by other polish freaks.

[@emmala8119]

Thank you for posting the link on where to buy the polish! I really appreciate it!

[@bagelsandcoffee]

I appreciate that you put a lot of time into comparing all the variations of shades for cremes- time and time again, I’ve discovered some great polishes because of your comparisons! Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it!

[@GoPolished]

Yay! I love hearing this! This is why I keep on going! Thank you!

[@GusVernon]

Oh please reconsider Zoya! You are so good at your reviews and they have so many beautiful polishes! Zoya is by far my favorite but your influence on other brands runs very deep for me. 😂😂 Thank you for what you do!

[@GoPolished]

I might! I was too excited about anything they released last year. Maybe I will feel differently this year. I am glad they are moving to the larger brush. That might change my mind!

[@natalieshelton8704]

I don't think you need to do anything different. I enjoy your reviews very much and what you review! Keep up the great work! 😍

[@GoPolished]

Awww you saying that actually made me feel a little lighter. Haha. I always feel like I have to do more, offer more and bring more and it can get tiring!

[@beckywampler2180]

Londontown! High quality and long lasting. I also love the square bottles bc it makes it easy to open and apply.

[@GoPolished]

I have considered Londontown. I will look into it!

[@AmYisraelChai157]

Olive Ave puts out seasonal collections & best of all they are mostly CREMES! Maybe ONE shimmer per collection & it's always just enough to make it pretty. I've ordered from Walker since she put out her very first spring collection. Gorgeous, classy colors. Brandi from @LivWithBiv also swatches Olive Ave Polish. 😊 Thanks for swatching this collection as I loved them ALL especially the green! I may end up getting this whole set though as it looks fun & different for spring. Have a blessed weekend Laurie! ~Ginger

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much! That might be a good brand for me to start looking into! Thanks for being such an awesome and diligent follower! I appreciate it!

[@AmYisraelChai157]

@@GoPolished I am the one who is grateful for you for all your time & work you put into the videos. So thank YOU. 😊

[@maggiewsmith3922]

Sally Hansen quick dry are great. You'd probably like a lot of those. Idk if they do collections though like the brands you do. Also, cirque colors look like they've got great colors! I've never had a cirque color polish but I love their colors. But I love your reviews anyway. 😁

[@GoPolished]

Cirque Colors is great! I try to always pick up their Vice Collection. I have considered Sally Hansen as well.

[@user-jp8ox9xi2j]

First kiss bliss is one I thought was beautiful and would be one I'd wear since I love blues.

[@kayjay29ful]

Stick to the brands that delight you! Love your comparisons.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you! Yes, I agree, I need to feel good about them and excited about them 💜

[@analiciasimar]

I can't pick a favorite. But I agree--Olive & June and Essie are perfecting that glowy shimmer. Love it!

[@GoPolished]

Yes! They are both doing some great things!

[@beeshippiemusica3164]

I love your comparisons. Thank you so much!

[@GoPolished]

you are so welcome!

Your comparisons are the absolute best and they're so helpful!!

[@GoPolished]

Oh thank you sooo much! That is so sweet!

[@deborahking3937]

So pretty! I really appreciate all of the comparisons! I really love Dimension Nails & think that you would, too.They have an incredible formula!

[@GoPolished]

Thanks Debbie! Hope you are doing well! I will have to look into Dimension nails.

[@kristalkk]

Well then. I had planned on skipping these but now that I watched this I want 3 for sure. 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for your amazing videos and comparisons! ❤

[@GoPolished]

Haha. That's kinda how it goes sometimes. 😂

[@kristalkk]

@@GoPolished hahahahaa more often than not! 😂🫣

[@elizabethr4107]

Omggggggg yes dazzle dry!

[@lucyt7189]

wow, that's a lot of comparisons! Thank you!!!!!! I got so excited about the pale green, but thankfully, you compared it to Suzi without a Paddle, and they are sooo close. I do love the pale blue one. Gorgeous! Just my type of blue.

[@GoPolished]

You are so welcome! I appreciate you watching my video. ♥

[@Edw747]

I think a more indie adjacent but small business that I think you would like is Olive Ave. There are a lot of creams and subtle shimmers. It's very similar to mainstream brands, and there's seasonal collections.

[@ReillyWilde]

Pretty Spring colors. 🌷Orly & Londontown Lakur are my favorite brands. 💅🏻

[@GoPolished]

I have considered Londontown!

[@misse7095]

This seems like a Valentine’s Day collection with the names. How fun!! You and Brandi do the best comparisons. Also, you beautiful in that teal sweatshirt! Great color on you! ❤

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much for both compliments!! Brandi is the best! Love her ❤

[@Lalepaula9]

Such a pretty collection ❤

[@GoPolished]

Yes! ♥

[@georgiastewart4479]

Crushin and Blushin and Meet Cute Moments are my faves, they are all great colors though. Thanks for showing them 💖

[@SharonHicks-ky7bx]

I love your videos! Thank you so much for helping me pick colors. You had mentioned in other videos that you would like to hear if we have favorite products that you might like to try. I love Londontown polishes and so far I have found them to have the best formula of any polishes I have tried. If you were going to add a brand to your reviews, I would vote for Londontown. I especially love one of their products called Smudge Fix. It literally fixes your mistakes if you touch your polish before it is good and dry you can brush this stuff on and it smooths it out. It is the one product that I would not be without. Another is China Glaze Fast Freeze spray. It is a quick dry oil that you spray on after your manicure that just helps everything dry faster. I like the spray because you don't have to touch your nails with a brush or a dropper like you do with other brands.

[@catherinevictoria6758]

Another super helpful review. Thank you, Laurie! Would love to see you review Ella + Mila polishes.

[@GoPolished]

Oh!! I am glad you said that! Maybe I will start with them! I have been wanting to try more of them!

[@DoveNative]

💗I love Blushin' & Crushin' shade!💗

[@GoPolished]

It's gooorgeous!!

[@kaitlinbeste]

Oooo I love these !!

[@GoPolished]

Yay!! 💜

[@terriblack1562]

Ooh I love this Essie spring collection and will have to pick this one up ❤ Great swatch and comparison video Laurie! Amazing to see the differentiation between the many beautiful green shades. As for more established nail brands to think about reviewing, I have always really enjoyed the CND Vinylux polishes. They have been around for a long time and they do some really nice collections throughout the year. Price wise I think they’re reasonable too. From what I’ve seen Dazzle Dry is more on the expensive side.

[@GoPolished]

Beyond Polish has actually been sending me those CND polishes but the gels. I LOVE them but find it harder to show gels so i have asked them to send the vinylux polishes. So, I should have some of those popping up!

[@elizabethmarshall4913]

I *think* the green version of Mint Candy Apple is the new one-I wore the blue version on my toes as my “something blue” when I got married 10 years ago!

[@GoPolished]

Thank you, thank you! Oh that would make for a fun toe color! Maybe I will try a bright light blue this summer too!

[@elysej5068]

Yes, the green one was first! I went through the comments to see if anyone had answered your question 😊

[@user-zl5cr7cr7j]

Wonderful job with comparisons. Orly's Color pass just arrived for me and they have a similar feel with the ethereal feel.

[@GoPolished]

Yes! I have them to and I think they look so fun!

[@gina55555]

Stopped by Ulta today and this collection was in stock, oh my goodness.... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spring Fling. I just gone done doing my nails with it and it's so super feminine and pretty. I love the finish, it far surpasses the shimmers and pearls that have been coming out over the last year or so. Likely gonna grab a few back ups as this is going to be a certain fav for a good long time for me. Loved this review, thank you for all the comparisons!

[@GoPolished]

Right?! It's kind of surprising how stunning it actually is! I am so glad you love it! You are welcome. We should all be thanking Essie! haha

[@alanecanzone5425]

Hi, Laurie! Wow, if you liked those shimmers, they must be special 😂 Thanks for the review and recommendation, I’ll definitely be picking up the whole collection!

[@grannyweatherwax8005]

I was thinking the same that if she likes the shimmers, they must be amazing! And they both look so pretty. I'm just sad they're not my shade at all. But maybe they'll use the same technology in the fall.

[@GoPolished]

i know, right?! I feel like a new person! 😂

[@sheila8945]

You do an amazing job on polish reviews and are always kind. Some swatchers seem to get rather nasty with their comments/opinions.

[@DoveNative]

@sheila8945 Oh yes Sheila, there is one in particular always so negative that I unsubscribed, sheesh.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much!! I try to be fair and really it's just my opinion. Others might love what I don't so I can't judge too harshly! ♥

[@janetdunleavy3926]

Beautiful swatches! I think I’ll def pick these up. So pretty! 💖 Have you thought about adding the brands Londontown, Butter London, or Deborah Lippman. I quite like all of these lines. And I am pretty sure they do seasonal collections.☺️

[@GoPolished]

Yes, I have! Thanks for your vote/suggestions! 💜

[@crystallynn1325]

ILNP or Mooncat are some of my favorite brands, would love to see one of them.

[@GoPolished]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@royamakhani9810]

Please consider adding Londontown. They have seasonal collections. Thank you for your honest reviews.

[@stacygrubbs3370]

The last couple of Zoya collections were really pretty! 😍 😍 Sooo glad they're switching to the z-wide brush. 💅❣️

[@GoPolished]

Yeah, I don't know why I wasn't that interested in them last year. It was a busy year though. Maybe I should reconsider ZOYA

[@rachel820]

You should wear teal more often. You look good in that color. I get excited when I get a video from you. Thank you.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you! I am trying to wear more color lately! ♥

[@antiochcofc]

Yours are my favorite youtube nail polish reviews. I especially find the "live" application helpful as it helps me get a feel for how sheer, etc. the polish is. I wonder, do you ever use or review Londontown? It's my favorite brand but there don't seem to be a lot of youtube reviews for it.

[@GoPolished]

I have considered Londontown! Thanks for the vote! 😃

[@beccanitta2912]

Thank you so much for such a thorough comparison! I am still not reaching for these kinds of polishes but i just might. In terms of a brand you might consider - I have no indie brands but I have been wanting to try some Painted Polish or INLP colors.

[@pucashells1]

Would love lights lacquer although I know they aren’t mainstream

[@joycejohnson8502]

I love Laurie digging shimmers 🥰🥰🥰

[@GoPolished]

😂 Crazy, right?!

[@joycejohnson8502]

Creams are hard to beat. Can’t go wrong.

[@misscrafty92]

I've been curious about Dazzle Dry myself. I think that would be a great choice! I saw another comment for Olive Ave and their formula is fantastic. I would highly recommend.

[@GoPolished]

Yes, thank you so much for your thoughts and suggestions 😀

[@cambrihurst5024]

YES!! Do dazzle dry!! I have LOVED it and would love to know your opinion. They kind of do seasonal drops? I’ve been using the brand for about a year and they had a drop in the fall, winter, and a valentine one. Every now and again they release a random new polish, too.

[@ME-ej3ot]

Essie bringing their A-game with the shimmer polishes! I think they've been taking notes from the indie polish community - good!

[@GoPolished]

I agree! They are doing so great with them! Love it!

[@kaylagray7935]

Hi Laurie! I love Zoya polishes. I recently ordered 10 for $25 and have gotten a few more emails that they are doing that promotion again. Not sure if they are making room for new colors? I have such good wear time with this polish and it goes on so smooth and nice. I really think Zoya needs more love, would love to see you add them this year! I'm not even close to doing a pro job on my nails, but I like to change my color a lot. Thanks so much for your hard work and amazing videos - you are much appreciated!💜💙💚

[@GoPolished]

I have quite a few ZOYA's and used to buy them years ago. They do have an amazing formula. I need to reconsider them for sure. Thank you SO much for watching my videos!

[@Sweetheart2_]

The only polish that got my attention was First Kiss Bliss. Thank you for the review!

I would LOVE if you reviewed Zoya!!!!! PLEASE! Thank you for your consideration. 😅

[@GoPolished]

Haha! Maybe I will give them try again! I think I just got too busy last year and so I wasn't too interested.

[@KandiceElizabeth2]

I use dazzle dry, because I developed an allergy gels and dip powder. They have seasonal offerings.

Dazzzle Dry!

Have you considered reviewing CND Vinylux? Beyond Polish carries them - they are fantastic creams!

[@lkoko3864]

Zoya , ILNP , Olive Ave :)

[@kellym893]

Omgosh Flirty Flutters looks so much like OPI's Hotter Than You Pink. My fav polish of all time. I may have to pick up a bottle.

[@GoPolished]

Yes! I did think about that after the video went up! I will try to show them compared to one another on instagram!

[@michellem5647]

Meet cute moment I need this is a crazy good collection

[@GoPolished]

It's so fun! Glad you like it!

[@karenwillis3617]

Ok, did I miss which one you had on your nails?? I actually went back and watched again 😂. I think this collection has some great transitional shades. As far as other brands I like OPI, Orly, Morgan Taylor, and some China Glaze. I like Zoya but I hate buying from Zoya. Their shipping is so slow. I did try some Londontown. I tried the nail veils I think is what they are called. They are good. I have thought about trying some others as I’ve heard they are super long lasting. I’ve also dabbled in a little bit of Indie polishes, but I’m a cream girl at heart. I will occasionally do a glitter or shimmer type polish, but it’s not my go to. All in all I would say Essie has been my consistent favorite.

[@GoPolished]

i am wearing spring fling on my nails! I agree with all of what you said. Maybe I will reach out to zoya and see if they would consider adding me to their PR list.

[@katiepare9685]

Definitely COLOR CLUB. I don't believe you have done them before but they even have a new line called Naturally

The green version of Mint Candy Apple is the newer one. :)

[@janeburkhart4051]

Dazzle Dry is too finicky (sometimes you have to warm up the base coat) and expensive. I love Londontown Lakur and Zoya. Londontown is a bit more expensive but they have a perfect brush, the polishes last very well, and they have wonderful customer service.

[@GoPolished]

Good to know Jane! Thank you!

[@beanbird2]

Love ILNP brand the best. They have seasonal collections, not many review them, and they have studio cremes now. Ilnp is STUNNING Second place Zoya.

[@GoPolished]

Okay, I am gaining more interest in ILNP now!

[@Dee17050]

I actually love Zoya!

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

One brand I enjoy that I don't know if you've done is Londontown. I'm a sheer polish person, so I love their nail veils, but I'm curious about their concealers and lacquers.

[@anniemaymcneely2013]

Dazsle dry is too complicated. I would really love to see you do zoya. They have amazing colors. I just bought some for the first time; Genevieve, a beautiful charcoal , elaine, the perfect dark brown, and amminah, a super pretty sheer. Great formula

[@alisontopalian8592]

The only one I'm drawn to is the blue. And I have all the ones showed.

[@tdelphia1]

I would like to see some cruelty free brands reviewed. Essie and OPI both do animal testing (they claim to be cruelty free, but sell into countries that require animal testing which for my money means they are NOT cruelty free and no matter how pretty a collection is, I won't buy them). ILNP and Cirque are two brands I buy a lot of (you might not like all the holo of ILNP, but Cirque has multiple lines that you might enjoy like their jellies and summer Vice (neon) collections. Orly and China Glaze are widely available cruelty free brands. There are so many cruelty free options available there just doesn't seem to be a need for me to give money to brands like Essie and Opi.

[@Zuddziemanicures]

I would like to see dimension nails. They do mostly cremes but some shimmer.

Hi. It would be great if maybe you could review designer polishes from brands like Dior and Chanel.
