The Awards Ceremony: Best Nail Polishes of 2024

[@sharonmcneill2521]

I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel. Your approach, your content, your artistic vision, and your polish choices are all so very unique. Watching your videos gets me out of my same old same old funk even though I do love watching swatching, there's something different about your content that really elevates it. Keep doing what you're doing. You are extremely entertaining and ridiculously bright. You have the ability to go far. Looking forward to what 2025 brings for you. AND checking out the new glasses. 😁🤓

[@kaethestephanie]

This is heartwarming ❤️ thank you so much for the sweetness. I'm so glad you can feel a little uplifted with these videos, we all need that sometimes! Thank you for your support, motivation and nice comments 🥰 and my glasses ... I hope I didn't get scammed 😂 but otherwise I should have them soon! 🤓

SHOUT OUT TO POND GUNK!!!! Stagnant Waterrrrrr 🤮🐸💚

[@kaethestephanie]

💯 Pond Gunk is my favorite nail look 💅🏻

[@tabularasa]

Nice bottle shots!! Really great macro view of the polish components. Death Valley is over the top-wtf swamp water and a hairy sink?? 😂 My personal preferences are so different, but I love seeing your weird picks. I'm a basic b comparatively speaking 😅 My favorites from last year were probably Orly Glass Act and Holo Taco Spyglass. And one that was released in the last few days of 2024 that I just got on my nails this week is stealing my heart now, with its delicate grey-lavender flawless pearl-Ethereal So Chill. Not a coincidence that all are cool tone shimmers, my favorites. TFS 💅

Oh yeah I'm definitely seeing the vibe in the polishes you mentioned, very chilly and wintery. They're beautiful. DVN gets so quirky, I always get excited to find a weird polish in their collections. And hey, nothing wrong with different polish preferences, we're lucky that there's something for everyone! 💜

[@fifi6958]

the sink after he shaves kills me lmfaoooo & omg lana del wraith is sooo pretty! my personal fav of the year was Tucking myself in by paradox polish

[@kaethestephanie]

Oh that's a beautiful royal blue from Paradox 🤩 and DVN should've just won the most creative inspiration award - they really went all the way outside the box with TSAHS

[@PolishedYogi]

These are such fun awards and picks! The way Death Valley made pond gunk look good is incredible lol 🐸 the Cadillacquer & Naps and Nails are super gorgeous too!

[@kaethestephanie]

Thank you! Only DVN can do this to us 😂 they got us proudly showing off our hairy and gunky nails lol!

[@natashawho5508]

Yay! Express Yourself made it 🎉. There were plenty of polishes I purchased but this one really stood out because I initially passed on it and fortunately picked it up when it dropped again.

[@kaethestephanie]

I'm so glad you got to pick it up. This was definitely one to not let pass by, such a neat polish 🤩

[@jenheyman9296]

My fave of the year was Sassy Sauce Per Se, I think it fits perfectly with your best of polishes!

[@kaethestephanie]

Everytime I go to their website I stop on that polish 😍

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

I loved this video! I can't really do an awards type video because this past year, I got rid of a lot and bought a lot so the vast majority of my now collection are actually untrieds. I will say I went into this wondering if I would have any of the polishes you showed and I do have the Cadillacquer polish (and yes, it too is untried - lol). I'm definitely looking forward to wearing it now!

[@vintagesquadssyl]

The mojo jojo one caught my eye immediately too. And once I applied it, I indeed fell in love with it!!

[@kaethestephanie]

It's such a fun one and they did a great job capturing Mojo's vibe!

[@PolishwithRae]

This was so fun!

[@kaethestephanie]

Thank you so much!

[@ToniHomeperm]

I think my favorite polish this year was Mooncat's Curiosity's Trap!

[@kaethestephanie]

The color combo on that one is amaazingg 💙

[@AmyLSchulte]

Two of my faves that I bought this year are BCB I Can Do It and You Were my New Dream.

[@vildemyneiden5237]

I wish I could buy them. But no international shipping. 😢 So beautiful shades. 😊

[@AmyLSchulte]

@ 🥲I am sad for you.

[@kaethestephanie]

You are seriously a green lover 🤩💚 That brriiiight neon lime green is stunning!

[@AmyLSchulte]

@ Oh yes! I would say over half of my collection is in the green family. 💚💚💚

[@stevenall007]

You have two of my faves from last year, The Diabolical Mojo Jojo and The Sink After He Shaves. My top polish was Cuticula’s Battle of the Boxes from PGB 💚🖤💙

[@vildemyneiden5237]

Love that polish 💅🏻

[@kaethestephanie]

Those 2 were amaaaaazing releases and I just looked up Cuticula's ... it's so cool that it looks cartoonish 😍

[@kokiafaina]

Maaan I wanna try Death Valley so badly, why they no ship to EU?! Nice video and nice favs 🎉🎉 Happy New Year ❤

[@kaethestephanie]

Happy New Year and thank you! 💜 I wonder if I can send you some?

[@dailypolishme]

😍💙💛💅💚I'm inviting myself to your party 😁😀beautiful polishes. My award goes to Cuticula 😄TFS

[@kaethestephanie]

You're 100% invited! 🏆 Cuticula definitely deserves an award 😄

[@vildemyneiden5237]

My favorite nail polish in order from best first: By Dany Vianna, Xmas Year Round. (You must try this textured green polish) Mooncat a midsummer's dream. Bee's knees Lacquer The scarlet fox. Clionadh cosmetics Spicy margarita. Phoenix Indie Oops Shade #20.

[@kaethestephanie]

Oops 20 Bleeeew my mind - that is amazing and I'm sad I didn't get it hahah. Your list is so varied, such amazing favorites. Spicy Margarita is beautiful too and so is Midsummer's Dream. The contrasting colors in Xmas Year Round are super neat too!

[@vildemyneiden5237]

@@kaethestephanie thank you. I love all the specialty finishes. Waiting for Whats Up Nails - Goopy Goblin. Can't wait for it. Takes so long to get polish all the way over here, In Norway. Had to have it after I saw you swatching it. 😊

[@kaethestephanie]

The wait is worst part 😅 but it'll be worth it. Goopy Goblin was really fun to wear, you will love it 💚
