**Best of 2013 Poll**

I've done the "Best of" polls the past two years, and everyone really enjoyed it, so I'm doing it again!

• I tried to condense this as best as possible. It would of be impossible for me to include all the indies, and every collection released.
• The "Favorite Handmade Indie in 2013" list was comprised of the 5 most mentioned brands from the Handmade Indie Poll I had earlier this month.
• Please do not over think this, just make a selection even if you don't have an absolute favorite.
• There are so many drugstore brands, so it was very hard to narrow down. I tried to select the ones I felt had the most notoriety this year. I have included the option of "Other" if you have a different favorite.
• The last question about "Favorite Nail Polish Released in 2013?", I have left optional. I will be making a list of the Top 5 polishes with the most mentions when I calculate the results for the rest of the poll.
• You have until Sunday, December 22th to vote. You may only vote once. On Tuesday, December 31st, I will post the results of this poll along with my personal picks from the year

POLL CLOSED

Have fun!!!

Help! Who are your fave handmade indie brands?

It's getting near that time of year again. Imperfectly Painted every year does a best of year poll. This poll is posted on December 1st, and it asks you your favorites in nail polish this year. In order to start working in this year's poll I need your help!

One of the categories is favorite handmade indie brand of 2013. There are TONS of indie brands, so I  cannot list them all. What I can do is poll you first, and ask you who your top 2 are. I will then calculate those results, and the 5 indie brands who receive the most mentions will be the nominees in this category.

On the form below please list your choices. It does not matter which choice you put first or second. 

Quick Guidelines:
*You must only pick indies made by hand (This excludes brands like Cult Nails & Pretty Serious).
*You cannot mention the same brand twice.
*You have until November 17th to vote.
