I have in the grab bag that my niece wants nail polish. She said she wants either OPI or Essie. I just saw the deal on Zoua and I know she won't care what brand I buy.
I know some of you ladies would.......so tell me. What is the best, and after you channel your inner 20 year old, what colors are HOT right now!!

My favorite nail polish are the incoco strips. I love them. They are so easy to apply and wear great! They usually last me about two weeks and then I remove them (with polish remover) because my nails are growing out. You can buy them at incoco.com or there are a few at Walmart.

Wow! I just logged in to ask The Peas what their nail polish preferences are! Talk about timing!
I am sorry I can't help with your question.
If you niece asked for two specific brands, I would more than likely purchase those for her rather than trying to guess what she would like. FYI: Sally Beauty Supply has nail polish on sale through today at BOGO!!!
Have fun putting the grab bag together for her!!

I think Zoya, Essie and OPI are comparable. How does she like to dress? That might help us think of colors that match her style.

Buying any of the most recent collection from any brand will get you the most trendy colors right now, generally speaking.
I loved Zoya's fall Urban Grunge collection, and they have a winter collection I'm eyeing but the name escapes me. The site groups by collex or you can search by name or color. If they have her name available (Zoya uses first names as their polish names, usually famous people or models), add that to the list.
You could always go with the OPI mini collex as well, they always have one with every new collex they put out. Right now that would be the Breakfast at Tiffany's set.
One of the hottest colors on Pinterest is Essie Angora Cardi. Their winter collex didn't really speak to me but it's on trend right now too, includes Playing Koi and that might be the name of the whole collex. Other classic Essies are Chinchilly, Bikini So Teeny, Smokin Hot, and Wicked. There are lots I'm missing but that should help.

She is not into "flash"...... she dresses in jeans and sweaters outside of work. At work she wears skirts and blouses, but again nothing over the top.
She loves light pink, light purple and grey.
I bought her a big (Kohls) blanket in gray, soft gray ballet slippers and I want to add a bottle of polish (or two) that round out my gift.

She might like the Naked Manicure collection from Zoya, then. I think Zoya is a great polish - it's a little finicky on my nails but then again, most of them are! It's definitely a quality product.

Or, if you want to choose Zoya because of the sale, look at Kelly, Dove, Rue, Odette, and Brigitte. She would probably enjoy the Naturel and Naturel Deux collections, here are swatches www.thepolishaholic.com/2014/01/zoya-naturel-collection-swatches.htmlwww.thepolishaholic.com/2014/08/Zoya-Naturel-Deux-Collection-Swatches-Review.html

I would say the Breakfast at Tiffany's also! Color trends vary so much! Look on Pinterest and just input OPI as your search word. You'll see everything you can imagine!

I think breakfast at tiffanys mini's are just the "bestselling" colors? I looked at them at ulta the other day and already had half of the colors (the ones that I would want). Essie and zoya both have purplish gray colors that I love. Essie smokin hot and Zoya normani. I think there is another Zoya color that is similar to Smokin Hot but I can't find it right now. I also like Zoya pasha as a neutral.

Their mini sets aren't the "best selling", since the mini sets are put out when the full collex is so they don't really know that, but it is usually what I think they predict will sell best and what would appeal to a broader base.

I also like Zoya pasha as a neutral. There is a collection of OPI minis that is their best selling colors of all time (maybe that's what you're thinking of). The Breakfast a Tiffany's mini collection is colors only from that collection. It comes out at the same time as the rest of the collection, so it can't be the bestsellers. It's just what they consider to be the base of the collection.

You might look at Zoya "Sansa". It's a dark purple with a bronze shimmer. Something a little spicier if you think she might like it.

That's a special Christmas set for Ulta that mixes the two collections. There's an official BaT mini collection.

iamkristinl16 There's a mini set of 4 from the BaT collection, which I saw in person at Ulta. You can Google it if you want. It's two reds, a pink, and the Tiffany blue. I love the blue even though I have probably twenty other polishes that any normal person would say are "close enough", lol.

It did this for me too when I tried to do it on my phone. When I went to the computer, I had an account and there 3 of each color I wanted in my bag.
